NOT BOOR, BUT MOOR

The Plain Truth Of Things

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand
And Eternity in an Hour.

-- William Blake

HealthPrism sets in motion a very special movement. This is reason enough for us to have a celebration. Because, the publication represents the emblematical register of [w]holistic health and well-being? Yes, indeed!

The onus is now on us not only to adapt to the demands of changing times, but also maintain HealthPrism as a reliable information hub for [y]our well-being needs – and, to provide a rostrum, or forum, and communicate and seek patronage.

HealthPrism espouses a refreshing spirit, in word and deed -- sculpted and interspersed as metaphors that whirr. Our intentions are clear. Tangible.

This also explains why we have taken up the “measure” to bring you a readable multi-speciality smorgasbord: of what we need to do to reduce the pangs of arthritic pain, mend the heart with natural remedies, use mindfulness meditation to unwind, or de-stress, and use the power of our own being through “breathing,” to name just a few of the first set of articles we’ve posted. You'd sure call them diverse, palpable connections, yes -- the epitome of twenty-first century medicine, health, and well-being.

Yet, the fact remains: what HealthPrism endeavours to present is, in essence, a meaningful list of the conceptual with the scientific image, a small step to celebrating that signal, or synoptic, vision called [w]holistic well-being.

The articles, critiques, and meditations, we have up on HealthPrism are by no means chosen to score a point. Relatively speaking, they chisel an impressionist portrayal of the state of optimal health and well-being -- a graphical representation that draws a parallel, or connectivity spoor, between pure and applied medical science and alternative medicine. In other words, the fascinating elaborateness of living life to the full – and, in vibrant health and well-being.

However this maybe, there's much more to HealthPrism than what meets the eye and mind -- a compass representing not just convergence across disciplines, but a harmonious objet d'art, which is as complex and divergent as any yet invented!

The feeling is reciprocal, dear readers. It's a great time to be in the thick of it all.

Yet, let one thought always remain in the crux of our minds, and thinking… in the midst of all the euphoria. It is quite easy to be deluded by the glitz of accepted wisdom -- that the central understanding of medical science, health, or well-being, is absolute.

It is, quite simply, far from it.

Miles to go, mate!
