Philosophy
The Cornerstones
Education is important as we are constantly growing and learning new things about ourselves. All of the teachings at the WholistiCenter are grounded in hard science and empirical study as they are characterized by years of observation, experiments and clinical practice. They are a blend of Classical Chinese Medicine, the Yoga Sciences, and Natural Medicine. If followed faithfully, the teachings can help practitioners reach an optimum level of wellness.
Yoga (Attentive Integrative Movement) means to bring about holism. The form of yoga practiced at the WholistiCenter is an integrative, engaging practice of mindful movement. Practitioners learn to connect his yin, or earthly self (body), to his yang, or heavenly self (mind). By undoing the false sense of separation between these two polarities, holism exists. Once these two aspects are reconciled, life becomes an effortless expression of balance.
Meditation or contemplation involves focusing the attention in order to increase awareness of the present moment, induce deep calm, reduce anxiety, promote personal development, and further a sense of oneness.
Herbs aid us in the maintenance and renewal of our systems. As we are developing holism, healthy, herbal nutrition and cleansing grants us an added advantage. Herbs help to detoxify and nourish the blood, organs, cells, hormones, and bodily fluids. In addition, herbs can rejuvenate the body’s electricity (or bio-energy) and bring mental and emotional calmness. Herbs are some of nature’s powerful tools for restoring health and vitality.
Bodywork (Assisted Myofascial Energetic Networking) leads us to an awareness of our parts by opening the flow of blood, lymphatic fluid, and bio-energy throughout our bodies. Once that flow is reestablished, the body’s soft tissues: muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments, begin to relax and lengthen, allowing awareness to expand our spiritual potential, and creating a deep sense of calm and peace.
Community is the glue that holds all of the vision together. Through community, we are: exposed to our vulnerabilities and fears, challenged to grow and evolve, find support, care, and love. Without the aid of community, it is easy for us to lose focus and slip back into old, habitual behaviors. The community also creates an atmosphere of competitive cooperation and collaboration. It presents a benchmark for success and raises the bar on all levels. Lastly, community opens the practitioner to the connection of life.
His interest in expanding his knowledge of holistic living was cultivated as a participant of the Shen Life Center. When approached about buying the first model of the WholistiCenter Concept, Jeremy teamed up with Melinda Loo in January 2007 to make it happen. Knowing the importance of combining sustainability with a healthy lifestyle motivates him share the message. Jeremy currently works for Terra Form Inc.
