Why go to a Holistic Lawyer?

By Reva Brown

As with politics, so is has become with increasingly with medicine, and even with the practice of law — which arguably is the last holdout in which dirty antics and nastiness naturally exist — that practitioners are seeking a comprehensive, more positive approach to solving legal issues.

As with holistic medicine, a holistic lawyer addresses her clients’ legal issues in a way that benefits them in mind, body, and spirit. In support of such lawyers, there is even an International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers.

Some holistic lawyers emphasize mediation for their clients as opposed to fueling the conflict with opposing parties; some view the rule of law as a means to end strife in the world; while others, offer means of becoming centered and transformed, to their clients. Either way, a holistic lawyer uses a multi-disciplinary approach for her clients’ immediate needs, by examining the spiritual, mental, and emotional conditions that caused their legal challenges or dilemmas to arise.

In applying the holistic/metaphysical legal approach to a famous — shall we say infamous — person that we all know, let us examine Britney Spears’ situation (if ever there was an example of someone needing a comprehensive approach to her legal and life challenges it would be Britney Spears). For example, a traditional lawyer in going forward with the case, would focus primarily on Britney’s child custody battle and counsel her client to behave more discretely. Said attorney might then seek to strategize and minimize any negative effects of her clients past “bad” behavior. Indeed, such a traditional lawyer may gather together a team of medical experts and psychiatrists to demonstrate that her client’s behavior was due to post partum depression or some other treatable or temporary condition. The attorney would then argue that custody of Britney’s children should be permanently awarded to her after she has completed the treatment.

A holistic lawyer might take all those steps as well, but would go the extra distance in a way that genuinely benefits her client (and perhaps her parents, children and generations to come), by addressing the spiritual (not religious), energetic, karmic, and emotional context in which her client’s crisis arose. Obviously, there are issues between Britney and her parents, and now some of those dysfunctions threaten to affect another generation of that family. That’s where karmic healing can come in to address and heal individual and generational karma, in order to provide individuals freedom from the vicious cycles keeping them bound. It is also apparent that Britney is emotionally troubled and that her energy, though creative, is chaotic, to say the least. That’s where Reiki and other forms of energy healing can come in very handy to help an individual become, without the help of prescription drugs or alcohol (and to the extent that the individual is open and receptive), calmer, stabilized (grounded) and happier. This is not an overnight process, but with repeated sessions, remarkable strides can be made in months, as opposed to the many years it normally takes a psychotherapist, acting alone to be effective.

The quicker such a client is put in touch with her soul’s true nature, the sooner her personal, familial, and legal concerns would be resolved and restored to harmony. While it is easy to see how someone like Britney Spears might benefit from a holistic approach to her legal and other life challenges, this approach would be just as beneficial for the average person. We all have challenges in life to deal with or handle, it’s just a matter of how well we do so, and whether we learn our lessons the first time so as not to keep repeating them over and over in the same grade.
