2016 Summary
- A Year
with Maria Teresa De Donato, Ph.D. -
Traditional Naturopath, Homeopath, Life
Strategist, Author
2017 is around
the corner. I can’t believe that another year has already gone. I wish to thank you all of you who have been
following me, liking me and sharing my posts, getting back to me with your
always very much appreciated and constructive feedback.
It has been a
very busy year and I would like to share with you some amazing moments that I
lived as a person and as a professional.
In January I started the new year 2016 by
publishing Disease and Healing Dynamics,
the Kindle version of my doctorate dissertation defended in 2012 and published
in 2015 titled The Dynamics of Disease
and Healing: The Role that Perception and Beliefs Play in our Health and
Wellness. Both works are intended as
a way to explore the mechanism of disease and healing, the usefulness of symptoms
and disease, and the role each one of us might play in one’s own health and
healing depending on their personal belief system and perception. Although the Kindle version was intended as a
shorter one of my dissertation, the only parts missing are those related to the
three interview sessions I had with the seven participants. All chapters, observations and findings have
been, in fact, included in both versions.

In January I
also published the Kindle version of my booklet PTSD: Conquering the Invisible – A Holistic Approach to Post-traumatic
Stress Disorder and its Italian version Conquistare
l’Invisibile – Approccio Olistico al PTSD (Disordine da Stress Post-traumatico)
whose paperback edition was published in 2015.

All versions
are intended as tools to approach PTSD from a holistic perspective in the
attempt to help its victims to consider if not all, at least many possible
alternative methodologies that can also be used as integrative therapies to
conventional treatments or as standalone therapies. Several holistic systems
including Homeopathy, Herbalism, Aromatherapy, and many others have been taken
into account in the hopes to offer some help either to alleviate the symptoms,
better cope with them or, even more so, to help the individuals to start
walking again and whenever possible, towards optimum health and true healing.
Still in
January, I published my article Yin and
Yang Theory (EN: http://holistic-coaching-dedonato.blogspot.com/2016/01/yin-and-yang-theory.html
and IT: http://holistic-coaching-dedonato.blogspot.com/2016/01/la-teoria-yin-e-yang.html
)
and in February, as I had promised, I deepened
into it by publishing a second one titled Yin,
Yang and Our Health through which I examined more aspects related to
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) (EN: http://holistic-coaching-dedonato.blogspot.com/2016/02/yin-yang-and-our-health_10.html and IT: http://holistic-coaching-dedonato.blogspot.com/2016/02/yin-yang-e-la-nostra-salute.html)
and how its principles are applied to benefit human health and wellness. In March
I concluded the Yin and Yang Series by publishing the article Yin, Yang and The Art of Feng Shui
through which we learned how the Yin and Yang principle can be applied in all
areas of our life, thus contributing to a better flow of Chi (Qi, Prana) energy
not only throughout our physical body but also in our indoor and outdoor
environments which ultimately brings harmony and more balance and health in our
overall existence.
In April, and after four years of work, I
finally published Dare to Rise –
Reshaping Humanity by Reshaping Yourself, which I coauthor with my
colleague Denis Gorce-Bourge, Managing Director at GB Life Coaching Ltd, Life
and Executive Coach. Dare to Rise is intended as a
self-development inspirational and motivational book highlighting the role that
Unconditional Love, Consciousness, Awareness and Self-responsibility play in
our lives.

May was a special time for me since I
got my very first Radio Interview as a Guest Speaker for TeleSummit – Johannesburg ,
South Africa
You can read
the transcript of this interview on my blog (EN: http://holistic-coaching-dedonato.blogspot.com/2016/07/telesummit-interview-successful-heart.html
and IT: http://holistic-coaching-dedonato.blogspot.com/2016/07/intervista-telesummit-vivere-con-il.html)
June was a very busy month: I first
published the article Music and Colors:
Their Effects on our Wellbeing and Health – an interview with Francesca
Durham, Clinical Harp Musician and Facilitator. Then Denis and I, though
separately, worked on a Four Interview Series on DARE to RISE – Reshaping Humanity by Reshaping Yourself which was
hosted by Francesca on BTR, Ontario , Canada
In August I published Hunting for the TREE of LIFE
– A Spiritual Journey in the Garden Traditions, which I coauthor with Rev.
Anneli Sinkko, M.Phil. (Retired) and which was written in record time. Its
Kindle version was published in September. You can order either copy at
(Paperback): https://www.amazon.com/Hunting-TREE-LIFE-Spiritual-Traditions/dp/1535032820/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
Hunting for the TREE of LIFE – A Spiritual
Journey in the Garden Traditions is intended as a journey into the Bible,
although the latter has not necessarily been seen as a ‘religious’ but rather
as a historical text whose language hides a much deeper and even scientific
meaning and whose metaphorical terminology has just been used so that people
from all ethnicities, ages, walks of life and levels of education could grasp
fundamental concepts expressed in it.
This book is dedicated to all people who… recognize their very existence
and all that is – be it visible or invisible – as the consequence of the action
of a Higher Intelligence from which everything originated and depends on. Our wish as authors is that one day we might
all be able to fully understand that we aren’t but a big family and that we
will finally be able to act upon it accordingly with the greatest love each of
us is able of.
