Despite all the advances in western medicine, the fact that many people are seeking out alternative healing methods to augment their therapy speaks to the dissatisfaction that comes from the treatment of an organ or body part, and the treatment of a series of symptoms, an illness, or a disease.

Ayurveda and Chinese medicine are experiencing a resurgence as people come to appreciate their holistic nature and the philosophies from which these ancient healing arts sprang. Whether a consideration of the flow of life force in the body is called prana or Qi (Chi), practitioners of Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurveda begin their examination by reading the pulses of their clients at the wrist to determine the balance of the elements that make up the universe. Both systems are based upon the knowledge that we are more than the physical body and, therefore, healing occurs on all levels simultaneously. Another similarity is that both healing systems developed massage techniques to strengthen the body, rid it of accumulated toxins, and boost the immune system.

At Mind, Body, Spirit of Waldwick, you will find a variety of massage therapies, as
well as a bodywork modality known as Zero Balancing, which aligns the densest physical structure—the bones—with the energy, or life force, that moves through them. This allows for transformation and healing of the mind, body, and spirit, and the release of held energy for increased vitality.

Western medicine concerns itself with curing—to getting the physical body back to that
place before the illness or disease set in. Healing is quite different. Whether a client’s concern is physical in nature, such as a frozen shoulder, or mental, such as increased stress, or spiritual, such as a feeling of isolation, by addressing the whole being, balance is restored, leading ultimately to peace, clarity, and a sense of wholeness.  Therefore massage and
Zero Balancing are not intended to replace your doctor’s care but rather to enhance it.
