How can we maintain our health and equilibrium in a fast-paced world? In what ways are our fears and illnesses related? How can we best work with our emotions to create a healing state? Conventional medicine too often focuses on bodily symptoms alone ignoring the psychospiritual and emotional conditions that can underlie illness and contribute to the total ecology of a human being. The great healing traditions early on acknowledged the differences in individual temperaments and constitutions, which have been used as a basis of healing for centuries. Today what was learned and accepted as traditional wisdom is largely ignored and has been replaced in Western medicine by an approach that focuses on relieving symptoms without identifying a cause. The mindset of Western medicine is based in materialism and too frequently negates the knowledge and value of other healing systems.

This study explores multiple perspectives on states of fear, including their purpose and relationship to wellness. Using bricolage, historical research, and autoethnography, this essay shows that knowing our constitutional makeup and balancing our emotional temperament has historically been a path to ways of healing human beings in diverse cultures.
