Contextual Healing Institute

The Contextual Healing Institute is a private healing ministry that supports each member’s ability to evolve and adapt using nature’s principles to improve our self-healing capabilities and our relationship with the environment. We focus on the 4 contexts that we can take stewardship over:

1. Inflow – the intake of energy into our body such as quality of food, water, air, and even electromagnetic energy (as EMF pollution or energy healing).
2. Outflow – the outflow of energy such as physical self-expression in dance, tai chi, chi gong, exercise, etc. Also includes body elimination of toxins and wastes.
3. Structure – the alignment of joints and soft tissue components as it impacts our nervous system, being mindful of strength, flexibility and balance.
4. Mind – the power of the mind as our most important healer.

The Contextual Healing Institute was created by Dr. Barbara James and is based on the principles of contextual healing as described by Dr. Dean Black in his book “Inner Wisdom – The Challenge of Contextual Healing”. These principles are important to embrace for self-healing and are stated as follows:

1. Health exists spontaneously in nature when the contextual conditions are right.
2. We have a personal stewardship to create the conditions of health for ourselves and our families (taking personal responsibility).
3. To guide us in our personal stewardships, we have been endowed with an innate capacity for discerning beauty and truth.
4. By following our innate capacity for discerning beauty & truth, we may gain wisdom, which is the greatest of all gifts.
5. In the long run, nothing can substitute for our personal stewardships.
6. Governments cannot promote the general welfare by taking over the personal stewardships of their citizens.
7. Through the principles of contextual healing, our problems may be turned into strengths.
