What can we do to emerge from an imbalance?

To act effectively, it is essential to understand the whole. First, we should consider a holistic view of the human being, inspired by Ayurvedic medicine, which takes its various components into account. The human being is above all a spirit, a higher self. The soul represents the energetic interface of this spirit, while the body constitutes its physical interface. These three elements must be perfectly connected.

To restore harmonious functioning, each of these elements must be treated step by step. The “vehicle”, meaning the body, must be purified and restructured. At the same time, the capacity for communication—the soul—must be rewired and reconnected. Once this intuitive communication between body and soul is established, the great manager of our being can begin to send subtle messages.

Thus, rather than allowing ourselves to be overwhelmed by anxiety generated by the unconscious or by external events, a harmonious connection with the soul can provide a stable foundation, offering joy in place of fear.

It is important to emphasise that each of these three elements exerts its own influence and can encourage either harmony or disorder. To achieve well-being, these components must merge to form a coherent whole, an integration of the detached parts. Although this process is natural, the constraints of the world around us sometimes hinder its realisation.

Suffering and loneliness encourage us to take the path of integration, the path of psychosynthesis. Through trials, we can thus reach the stars (Piero Ferrucci).

The disturbances generated by disharmony between these three levels strongly affect how the body functions.

Recently, an American psychiatrist and scientist stated that certain specific yoga techniques prove far more effective and accessible than conventional psychiatric methods. These exercises allow neurotransmitters to be rebalanced naturally, whereas medicines often cause unwanted side effects.
