World Healing Day

World Healing Day is a global celebration of various healing practices. It encourages us to explore beyond classical medicine or to combine it with holistic approaches, considering physical, mental, and social factors in patient therapy, not just the current state of illness and its symptoms. The holiday is observed annually on the last Saturday in April.

History

The history of World Healing Day is closely connected with the Chinese practice of Tai Chi chuan, a set of breathing movements highly effective in treating various diseases. These practices also help relieve irritation, stress, and anxiety. Initially, in 1999, a holiday dedicated to Tai Chi was established. However, over time, practitioners of yoga, meditation, and other holistic practices began to join, leading to the creation of World Healing Day.

Consciousness is a unique tool for controlling all the systems of our body, which is why we are often advised to maintain a positive outlook. Holistic healing practices are widespread in Asia, so why not try them ourselves? Learn to control your consciousness and use breathing techniques to experience their beneficial effects!
