More and more medical practitioners in the city are evolving a system of practice that involves taking into account emotional and spiritual dimensions of the human personality. Louise L Hay’s book, You Can Heal Your Life, may have pointed the way as far back as the 1980s, but with increasing awareness among patients of the mind-body connect, more doctors are modifying their practices accordingly.
Dr Neeta Yuvraj, for example, offers courses in Emotional Empowerment Techniques (EET) that help patients deal with and rid themselves of their physical pain. Says Dr Yuvraj who’s a clinical hypnotherapist, past-life practitioner and life coach, “Emotional Empowerment Techniques that include hypnosis, are especially useful for headaches and cramps of any kind. Stomach pains, arthritis, gout, labour pains, menstrual pain as well as many chronic pain issues in people’s lives can be tackled employing them.”
It’s welcome news for a whole lot of people out there suffering from unexplained physical symptoms and for whom traditional routes of medicine offer no solution. Dr Yuvraj’s alternative, non-invasive methods of pain management come after her practising traditional medicine for 15 years, in order to deal with what she believes are primarily psychosomatic issues in people’s lives.
According to author Shobhaa De, “Everything in our body is connected to the mind, including pain. I have heard inspiring accounts of people who have opted for various treatments with alternative healing. So long as the process is non-intrusive, I would be open to trying such techniques.”
Says Dr Deepali Panchal, a physiotherapist, “I’ve found that emotional healing techniques when used in combination with physiotherapy works wonders. The reason that I sought out the emotional techniques to healing was because patients were becoming more aware of their mind-body connect and also because modern physiotherapy wasn’t very effective with chronic pains.” Dr Panchal says that her success rate of ridding patients of their chronic pain issues has improved substantially using this mind-body connect.
Sujata Kumar, a cancer survivor who benefited from using EET reflects, “Using emotional healing techniques not only decreased my physical pain during my tough days battling cancer, but virtually eradicated it at the root.” Celebrated art curator Tasneem Mehta, certainly believes in the efficacy of emotional healing, albeit in her own way.
“I’ve seen critically ill friends being completely cured using meditation healing techniques. I do believe that physical diseases are the outward symptom of an emotional imbalance and spiritual techniques like Reiki and yoga can tackle them. Personally speaking, whenever I feel emotional pain, I resort to exercise or meditation to deal with it.”
