For your easier navigation we have created four main parts to this Techniques and Therapies Section so you may better find material of interest that relates to your health concerns/healing goals.  Three of those sections are in the blue region to the right.  What might be thought of as the first section is just below. 

If you want to be inspired to walk more, exercise more effectively, renew sick areas of your body, notice the spiritual in the everyday world, then the stuff of this first portion will be particularly good for you.  It involves a system for exercising Life's principles into your body.  While some name it it after the person who helped create its exercise movements—calling it The Walsdorf Method—others call it 4 Element Yoga. Many of the prescriptions we give in sections 2 and 3 are derived from this body of exercises.

The following is the order we recommend you reading about this exciting new way of exercising, of drawing into your body, mind and spirit, life's vitalizing principles.  Its parts are:  



If you spent time reading the previous sections of this site where Nature’s elemental health-giving principles were outlined, your time spent then will find its payoff as those principles find even greater practical application here. In order to get the most out of this section, it is useful to go in order.

Begin with Intro to 4 Element Yoga, go next to Four Element Earth (4EE) exercises. This would be followed by W⁴ therapies, then our Thoracic Breath Work, and so on, as listed below, ending with Cranio-facial Therapies—something you can actually learn to do on yourself for headaches, sinus, and even spiritual growth.

If you do not want to learn any specific exercise routines right now, but want to do something to make your life stronger and healthier, you may skip to our Walking Tall Technique. Therein you will find great ways to make the simple act of walking a much richer and health-generating experience.  We find that  Walking Tall Technique and  Modified Push-ups are particularly adaptable to most people’s lifestyle.

All these exercises come out of Dr. Walsdorf’s powerful and even beautiful way of combining the West’s biomechanical and physiological sciences with the East’s more energetically-based (acupuncture-oriented) ones. These exercises are an important part of what makes this website so valuable for those seeking holistic, natural, even self-administered answers to their pains and/or declining health.

The second section is on the top portion of the blue section to the right. It has two subsections:
Pain & Musculoskeletal Problems

and

Organ-related Problems.

Clicks to a problem would take you to a brief description of the problem area with links to:

These include vitamins, herbal tonics, bioactive food concentrates, and other science-based nutrients, as used by Dr. Howard Walsdorf on his patients. You have the opportunity to gain much from Dr. Walsdorf’s 20+ years experience as the Director, and holistic Chiropractor at The UpCenter: University Chiropractic & Natural Healing Center, in Syracuse, N.Y. The power of the nutrient-based supports discussed for health problem areas cannot be over stated. Please find a way to take advantage of them.  Dr. Walsdorf also does health-focused phone consults with people from all over the country.  You can email him at NaturalHealing@earthlink.net



You will also find links from a health problem to 4 Element Yoga techniques which might apply to your problem. You will be able to find and do easy routines to energize weak parts of your body—for some it might be a shoulder or lower back pain, for others a heart that is failing, kidneys that are “sick”. At the same time, your mind and spirit will be transformed in a positive way as well. These exercises really do bring body, mind and spirit together!

While the nutritional/ herbal supports we suggest and even offer you on our website generally cannot help but generate out-of-pocket expenses, these valuable leading-edge exercise routines are yours for the clicking. We only ask that you let others know about them as you too, as your health and vitality improves with them.

Of course we cannot say our exercises will cure you, but we can say that they offer you a greater chance for renewing that part of your body through natural means. If you are doing allopathic, medical therapies (drugs, etc.) these can serve as what are often called “complementary therapies”.

Some problem areas in Section Two may also have links to other website areas or other websites. These include links to what we call “the Spirit of the Area”, and the “Lay of the Land” as found in a problem area's section within our Health & Properity section.  


The third section of this Techniques and Therapies page is found below Section Two. It is called:
“I Want More—”

From a click from say, “More Vitality and Energy”, you will get “Holistic advise about how to get more energy into your body and spirit”, or how about more “Longevity Of Life”? Section Three has the same format as Section Two, such as nutritional support, and exercise/ acupuncture energetic body movements.

The fourth, and last section is called:

Exploring Different Holistic Therapies

Below it, you will find clicks to various holistic, or natural-based therapies and techniques. Though our website tends to focus on Nutritional and Walsdorf Method techniques, there are other natural, drugless, holistic techniques that we think are important for you to know about. They include Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Naturopathy, Massage Therapy, Yoga, Homeopathy, Alexander Technique, Psychotherapy, Spiritual Counseling, even Shamanism. They will, however, often require the assistance of a professional. Unfortunately, as of now, this section, like others of our website has not been put on line yet. (We have only been on since the end of 2006. Wish us luck!)

We do recommend that you find a way to work with a professional. Support your local holistic-oriented medical doctor, chiropractor, acupuncturist, naturopath, homeopath, licensed massage therapist…


Disclaimer
Though the techniques that flow out of our website are generally very safe to do on your own, if you do have serious health problems, consult with your doctor to determine what you should or should not do.

This will then serve as the official disclaimer that 4 Element Yoga, our website’s suggested vitamins, herbs and other natural products, and all other "body-renewing techniques" mentioned in this website are not a substitute for proper medical care for any and all health conditions you may have. Dr. Walsdorf, DiscoverHolisticHealth.com, or any of its staff, or consultants in no way imply that you will heal diseases or cure problems with any or all therapies and techniques discussed in this site.

The therapies and techniques we discuss are solely for providing a body with the biochemistries and health-promoting principles it likes to have available to itself. Simply put, we believe that when these natural principles are gained by your body, it has the greatest chance of renewing itself. You, as a person, will often find yourself renewed, as well.

Good luck on your holistic journey toward higher levels of health, vibrancy, wholeness!  Let us know how you make out!
