Understanding The Law Of Attraction
What
is Spiritual Healing?
Spiritual
healing: relieving physical pain and illness through changes
made on a mental, emotional, and
spiritual level. For many, the very thought of it conjures
up images of evangelical faith healings and New Age hippies.
Some people may be so consumed by pain and suffering in their
physical body that the concept of focusing on mental, emotional,
and spiritual methods for healing sounds absurd, akin to avoidance
and denial of the physical “reality” of their problem, and
potentially detrimental to their getting better. The truth
is quite the opposite, however.
Spiritual healing is not some esoteric hogwash, and implementing
spiritual lessons in order to achieve physical healing is not
so mysterious. All physical suffering has in its cause an element
of mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering, and effecting
change on any of these levels effects change for the whole
person on all levels.
In today’s society almost everyone now understands that stress
and other negative thoughts and emotional states can cause
illness and disease. Even doctors agree that mental and emotional
health affects physical health, if not in causing a physical
ailment then at least in prolonging it, aggravating it, and
impeding one’s healing.
Western medicine even has a name for it: psychosomatics –
the study of the mind’s affect on the body (psycho – mind;
soma – body). We’ve all probably heard the term before, a parent
or friend saying that some physical complaint of ours is “just”
psychosomatic: “Oh, it’s all in your head.”
The irony is that these statements are usually thought of
by both speaker and listener as a way of disempowering the
person suffering (the “afflicted”) when in actuality it disempowers
the affliction from which the person is suffering.
To
repeat: All physical suffering has in its cause an element
of mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering. And, by the
same token, all physical healing has, in its cause, a component
of mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.
Your natural state is well-being, which goes hand-in-hand
with perfect physical health. All physical illness and disease
then is a consequence, a symptom, of being out of alignment
with our natural state. The real cause of all physical dis-ease
is resistance to allowing our full connection with the free
flow of Source Energy underlying all existence.
One of modern times’ greatest teachers of this lesson is Louise
Hay, whose book “Heal Your Body” is a handy reference guide
for identifying the most common mental, emotional, and spiritual
causes for nearly every physical ailment you can think of.
It’s a companion to her larger book, “You Can Heal Your Life”,
which goes into extensive details explaining in greater depth
the concepts outlined here.
The idea of your thoughts and emotions having a very real
and direct impact on y our physical state may be a tough pill
to swallow for many, as it seems to discount all physical causes
for illness: viruses, bacteria, etc. And on a fundamental level,
it does. But you do not need to believe it 100% to benefit
from the healing it promises.
The whole idea of ‘holistic’ health is that it incorporates
the ‘whole person’ – body, mind, emotions, and spirit – in
the process of promoting total wellness. So when you feel like
it, by all means, see your doctor, take your medicines. But
include a program of mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness
in your healing process too.
Some may also resist the concept of physical healing through
non-physical methods because they find the personal responsibility
it implies for one’s physical state too overwhelming to face.
If this is the case for you, just consider that as hard as
it may be to realize that you caused your physical condition,
you are in a better position than anyone or anything to find
relief.
