Alternative Well-Being: your January 2025 issue
Dear subscribers, Could a simple spelling change improve your health? I bet it could! In addition to my wishes for serenity and well-being for this year 2025, I hope you will put aside the question "why?" for a while in favor of the question "for what?" Why? To see the events of your life from a different perspective, as several contributors and witnesses to this issue of Alternative Well-Being have done. "Why?": this is the question Maurice Daubard and Wim Hof asked themselves when they suffered, the first from tuberculosis, the other from depression. The why was already known to them: Koch's bacillus for the first, the death of his wife for the second. And that wasn't enough to get them out of trouble. On the other hand, the why , not only allowed them to heal, but also to make great discoveries in the field of health. "For what?" This is what allowed ancient physicians to discover that infections and fever can cure other diseases. And this is what might allow us to surpass Louis Pasteur. When something unpleasant happens, such as an illness, we often wonder about the cause of this unpleasantness. By asking the question "why?", we turn to the past, assuming that we will find there what caused the event. Thus, when we become ill, we may think that it is due to the cold, pollution, dietary errors, intense stress, or even a pathogenic microorganism. However, since this culprit has operated in the past, we cannot prevent it from having occurred. And this perspective has a certain tendency to keep us in a state of accusation or guilt, two fundamental aspects of the feeling of helplessness. All this is the world of why . The world of why is different. When we ask ourselves why something happens to us, it helps us glimpse its purpose, its meaning. It turns us toward the future and allows us to grasp the intelligence at work in the most uncomfortable life processes. It allows us to gain coherence, wisdom, and health, while ultimately providing a better answer to the question of why. May this issue of Aternatif Bien-Être contribute to this revolution! |
