What Can Promote Healing in Your Animals & You?

Over the years, animals have repeatedly shown us that balance of body, mind and spirit is essential to healing. In fact, that’s what drew us into the world of holistic healthcare! Their wisdom helped us to create the BrightHaven Menu for Healing that forms the foundation of our work. And it is designed to achieve and maintain balance and harmony. At BrightHaven we help the “being” to be the best they can possibly be, regardless of age, illness or species!

Healing vs. Cure

From BrightHaven’s perspective, there’s a difference between curing and healing. For example, curing is typically thought of as achieving the absence of symptoms. Conventional medicine uses medication, surgery or other forms of external intervention to attain this outcome. It is important to keep in mind that suppression of symptoms does not always mean that the underlying causes of a dis-ease have been addressed. 

However, holistic medicine looks at healing as an internal process, focused on becoming whole. It is all about restoring balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit by igniting and working with the body’s natural healing abilities. This approach yields many benefits, including resolution of symptoms. A cure occurs when the body is able to fully heal itself.  

At BrightHaven, our goal is always for healing for the highest good of the patient, which may or may not include a cure. For some, the healing experience we offer brings about improved health and a new-found love of life. And for others, healing is a necessary preparation to complete the circle of life and for death and the journey beyond.

Here are some great quotes about the importance of harmony, balance and living fully!
