In recent years, people seek alternative ways to solve health problems by increasing use of Integrative medicine. The term integrative medicine by most definitions would include the idea and practice of adding complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to range of therapeutic options in strictly conventional medical environments. However, the two approaches based on two different paradigms: the biomedical model based upon the reductionism principle whereby mind and body are separated and reduces the illness to a disturbance in the biochemical process and therapy is intended to restore the biochemical processes to normal. While most of the CAM based upon holistic principle that recognizes the body, psyche and soul as an integrated and coherent whole. However, the psychological and spiritual realms remain mysterious and separated from the biomedical model. This book presents a new paradigm whereby body and soul are two faces of the same reality like particle and wave in quantum physics. Disease is a process that indicates a dissonance between the soul and the physical body due to specific psychological conflict or trauma that leads to an imbalance of vital energy of the cells. The purpose of this new approach wants to go beyond the resolution of physical symptoms and the neurotic states. The state of psycho-physical well-being and the interpersonal relations are no longer a goal, but they become tools that enable the individual to complete the learning process to follow his path that leads him to grow and evolve towards the light. Healing process is, therefore, a developmental process that leads the oppressive human mental barrier to spiritual liberation, giving deep satisfaction and happiness to achieve the complete well-being as it was defined by the WHO.
