Description

What is healing? One view might be that to heal is to bring about the absence of illness to eradicate disease through external intervention. Another view might be that healing occurs from within. We will consider another holistic approach. Healing is a matter of making whole, but what is whole? This question will be addressed with reference to ways of being in everyday life.
