Abstract | Disease, frailty, disability and dying are painful, stressful, uncomfortable, and
agitating. Despite old age and death are inevitable processes in living, people
do hope that one can stay young, energetic, cheerful and happy all the time
besides enjoying longevity. Western positivistic treatment focuses on an
antagonistic stance of fighting the disease and treats illness as an enemy.
Eastern integrative healing philosophy emphasizes on holistic harmonization
of bodily strengths and energies. Ill health is seen as system imbalance which
can be restored. Endurance of pain and suffering are seen as virtues in life. A
reflective mechanism of acceptance can help foster a process of
transformation from pain and suffering into enlightenment and peace of mind.
This presentation will share arts and science of an integrative eastern
body-mind-spirit healing in Hong Kong. |
