Describe the five guiding principles of the integral
approach to healing.
1. Holistic - a concept in medical practice upholding that all aspects
of people's needs including: - psychospiritual, biological, interpersonal, and
worldly, should be taken into account and seen as a whole.
2. Evolutionary - we
can always step up to a higher level of development that embraces our previous
knowledge and capacity and at the same time transcends their limitations. With
each step up, we acquire a more profound, accurate, and comprehensive knowledge
of ourselves and our life. This shift is accompanied by new priorities, resources,
and capacities.
3. Intentional - Intention is the mental ability to
consciously choose and act. Without intention, we cannot direct our life.
4. Person-Centered
- focus on the
individual—on you and me. That means removing professionals and their therapies
and remedies from the center of the healing process. Health and healing must
address the needs of the individual.
5. Dynamic - respect and concern for the dynamic and
vital movement of our life. We should always consider the circumstances of
today and act accordingly.
According
to Dacher (Chapter 4), what is the final goal of integral healing? Describe how
it relates to your profession.
The final goal of
integral healing is human flourishing—a profound, hardy, and sustained health,
happiness, and wholeness. As a medical assistant, part of my job will be to
ensure that my patients have the tools to stay healthy, and to experience what
it means to be truly healthy. Learning integral healing, and having the ability
to pass on my knowledge to my patients, will allow others to experience abundant
health, and life on a dynamic level, physically, spiritually, and mentally.
