The balance between body and mind is essential for our well-being. In holistic wellness, the human being is viewed as an interconnection of these two components, together with energy. In fact, body and mind are not separate; they are linked by constant energy flows. Keeping this principle in mind can help improve our health and vitality. In this article, you will discover how certain practices, when performed in synergy, can bring us closer to our goal of a healthy life: Energy Training and Far Infrared Therapy (FIT). Both practices offer distinct yet complementary benefits, particularly for muscle recovery, pain relief, and body rebalancing. Keep reading to learn more and find out how to achieve holistic well-being.

What is holistic well-being?

When we talk about holistic well-being, we are not just referring to the absence of illness, but to a state that encompasses a good quality of life, happiness, and a vision of the human being that includes body, mind, and energy. In fact, any small change in one of these three aspects affects the others, both positively and negatively. For this reason, it is important to incorporate practices that contribute to our well-being in a holistic sense into our daily lives .

Energy Training: how to unlock energy flows through movement and breathing

In traditional Chinese medicine, the human body consists of a series of meridians, or energy channels, whose flow can become “blocked,” leading to physical and emotional discomfort. However, there are disciplines such as Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong that are designed to improve energy flow through these meridians. All of these practices fall under the concept of Energy Training. These practices help release muscle tension, increase flexibility, and restore the balance between body and mind. They are all based on a combination of:

• fluid movements, with a focus on muscle stretching.

• postural exercise techniques, aimed at correcting the damage caused by a sedentary lifestyle.

• deep breathing techniques to release accumulated tension.

• visualization techniques to focus on personal goals

As reported by the magazine Elisir di Salute in a recent article, with consistent practice, Energy Training can reduce chronic stress and promote better control of the autonomic nervous system, facilitating a state of lasting well-being. Due to the simplicity of these practices, they are suitable for everyone, regardless of age or physical activity level. These are ideal tools for those looking to improve muscle function and overall physical and mental well-being.

What are the benefits of Energy Training practices?

The “unblocking” of the meridians and the consequent restored energy flow lead to positive effects on both body and mind. For example:

• increased overall vitality

• reduced risk of injury

• improved muscle recovery

Basically, it is about connecting mind, body, and energy for personal, inner, and conscious development, combined with light yet effective physical activity. All of this can help address chronic stress, which our body may encounter due to the modern, hectic lifestyle that often neglects the view of the individual as a connected whole rather than a series of separate and independent parts.

Far Infrared Therapy (FIT): innovation in pain relief and muscle recovery

A complementary approach to Energy Training, non-invasive, drug-free, and without side effects, is Far Infrared Therapy (FIT). This advanced technology utilizes far-infrared waves for muscle recovery and pain relief. Thanks to its ability to improve microcirculation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue healing, FIT has become a popular solution in the field of physical wellness and musculoskeletal pain therapy. As highlighted by Holistic Doctor Vincenzo Di Spazio in an analysis published in the renowned magazine Elisir di Salute, Far Infrared Technology (FIT) represents a significant innovation in the health field. “FIT Therapy devices use the reflectance of infrared waves to break up water clusters in inflamed areas, relieving pain and restoring muscle functionality. They stimulate microcirculation, reduce oxidative stress, and promote faster muscle recovery. The benefits of Far Infrared Therapy (FIT) are supported by scientific evidence, making it effective for those suffering from acute or chronic musculo scheletal pain, as well as for athletes.

How to use FIT Therapy for holistic well-being

Since FIT products are drug-free and heat-free medical devices, the FIT patches, along with FIT kinesiology tapes and apparel accessories, are suitable for everyday use by anyone seeking relief from musculoskeletal pain. But how can these products be best integrated into one’s journey toward holistic well-being? Here are a few examples:

• application of ergonomic FIT patches on areas affected by tension, such as the cervical region, which is often prone to pain due to poor posture.

• use of clothing and accessories to wear every day, even during sports activities, for widespread and lasting benefits.

Thanks to the synergy between Energy Training and Far Infrared Therapy (FIT), you can move closer to your goal of a healthy life, enhancing both physical and mental well-being. By incorporating daily practices that allow your vital energy to flow in harmony with body and mind, you can bring balance and wellness to your life.
