What is
Vitalism?
The philosophy that the human body has an innate intelligence that governs all areas of health.
This intelligence, or vital force, is found in the physical tissues, mental processes, emotional health and spirit, and can heal a great many ailments when given the opportunity.
When the vital force can’t express itself to its fullest potential, disease begins to show up, often starting in the emotional and spiritual body before moving into physical expression. To restore health, a person must be supported on all levels with the right tools to strengthen vitality.
How a vitalist practitioner helps
A vitalist practitioner seeks to understand how the vital force may be blocked or suppressed, then helps with strategies that include:
- Herbal remedies
- Nourishing food
- Digestive support
- Abundant clean water
- Deep rest
- Physical activity
- Connection to nature
- Developing personal purpose
- Connection to creative life force
- Love for self and others
When these tools are put to use, a person can experience a flow of vital strength and overall well-being.
