7 Tools of Healing!
Have you ever experienced mysterious symptoms in your body without being able to pinpoint what was wrong?
Being concerned about your health, you visited the doctor’s office, where they spent a few minutes asking about your symptoms but provided no clear explanations or answers for what might be wrong.
You were then sent on your way, prescription in hand, or maybe they handed you a tube of topical cream to try, because they really didn’t have any answers.
Sound like a familiar scenario?
The problem is that when you treat symptoms, it’s like putting a bandage on it without revealing the root cause.
So why is it that physicians don’t attempt to find the root cause?
Because, physicians are trained to treat symptoms and address immediate concerns.
Due to limited appointment times and so many patients to look after, there’s not much time to investigate further.
This often leaves patients without answers, or personalized care as you would get with a physician who practices integrative medicine.
Integrative medicine is a holistic practice that focuses on physical, emotional, and spiritual health where they do more than focus on specific symptoms or illnesses.
Integrative medicine is “an evidence-based approach to treat the whole person — your mind, body and soul. Your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs are all involved, so integrative medicine uses a combination of therapies. It “integrates” conventional approaches and complementary therapies to achieve optimal health and healing” according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Finding the Root Cause!
Have you read the book “The 7 Tools of of healing:Unlock Your Inner Wisdom and Live the Life Your Soul Desires“?
Dr. Steven M. Hall MD, who wrote the book, is an Integrative physician who utilizes both conventional and natural treatments.
He helps people by looking at physical symptoms, as well as helping them find the root cause of their health issues.
Dr. Hall also offers Craniosacral Therapy which is a gentle, hands-on treatment that focuses on improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid which can help relieve pain, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes.
Dr. Hall wrote the 7 Tools of Healing because he believed there was a disconnect between conventional medicine vs. healing, and wanted to add his voice to the conversation.
This book is a comprehensive guide to healing. It will help you:
👨🏻🔬 Recognize when something in your life isn’t working
👨⚕️ Identify beliefs
👨🏻🔬 Change beliefs
👨⚕️ Focus on solutions
The book isn’t about how to eat, exercise, or reciting positive affirmations.
It’s more about getting to the root cause of your issues, and mastering the tools to live a longer and healthier life.

Forgiveness is process of letting go of resentment or anger towards someone else. It doesn’t mean forgetting or condoning bad behavior, nor does it require reconciliation with a person who hurt you.
