A word: Holistic
Monday, June 22, 2009




"[I] try to follow a holistic lifestyle as well, herbalist, writer, nature lover, runner, intuitive, love networking and still enjoy chocolate and a glass of wine."


Essensu at Blogcatalog



I got a friend-invitation from Essensu and I took a look at the user’s description of herself and found the above.

“Holistic lifestyle”, what was that? I associated with halo, which had nothing to do with holistic at all.

Holistic means relating to an analysis of the whole, instead of a separation into parts.

It is based on the word holism, which comes from the Greek word ὅλος, holos, meaning “whole, entire, total”.
