Psychoneuroimmunology
 While
the term may be new to you, the concept is probably familiar.
Psychoneuroimmunology is all that current medicine and
nursing have to offer, as well an acceptance of the patient where he
or she is and the development of an integrative life plan that creates a
preventive pathway, from the origins of disease to the
life-affirming mindful living within a body. It means that for every
man and woman there is a pathway which works most deeply within his
or her own spirit and body. It is the work of psychoneuroimmunology
to use what is needed and to individualize the treatment plan to be
inclusive of all that is available in all fields. This may mean for
some patients that they learn about their disease processes or
preventive techniques; others learn to journal, some learn sand
play; there may be art, music, movement therapy, as well as
meditations, qigong, diet consultations, supplements, exercise, and
extraordinary
psychotherapy.
It is impossible to “empower” others to enact their own lives.
What develops emotional illness and dysfunctional behavior and lays
the groundwork for physical illness is the maladaptive use of power.
Each of us is already powerful, each having and manifesting that
power in the daily “creation” of our lives. When that power is used
in a maladaptive way, the patient demonstrates “symptoms” which are
actually inappropriate coping mechanisms.
Symbolically speaking, the symptom is an effort of the body/mind
to begin to heal itself. The individual's attention must become
focused on that part of the body’s functioning, the internal
capacity for emotional balance, the external creation of
relationships, and the further manifestation of our will as tangible
reality in the world.
This is the remarkable quality of the human mind and spirit…we
are all able to create! This is the miracle…we can create life…our
world…the way we see our world…All is subject to the power of our
own creative force. The responsibility of that gift is that we are
equally capable of destruction and are able to choose. The
cumulative action of those choices builds not only the person we
are, but also impacts the functioning or dysfunctioning of our
bodies, our relationships, and our communities. Everything hinges on
our personal choices. Choosing health requires the integration of
all of these aspects to bring the Self to wholeness…or healing.
