Can someone explain what the word holistic means?

I've tried to google-it, but I didn't find a satisfactory answer. I asking this because I've been told by my teacher that the way I think and I write the things around me is very holistic, but I don't know what that's means at all!

You have to be wary of some of it though. Not long ago there was a holistic practice that was revealed to be taking advantage of people. It was some sort of sound therapy. These sound waves were supposed to cure severe illnesses. Obviously, it was a total quack, but many people were spending a fortune on it.
