Healing and Mind
“A realer you”, “who you truly are”, “when your stories end”, all lead to the same place, to the nature of mind. As the Buddha put it, “We are what we think. All that we are, arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world”.
In my experience, even though we interact with the physical body, which is a kind and compassionate thing to do, it is mind that must be “impacted” for healing to occur. The bodies ability to repair itself activates automatically. A repaired body does not however imply that healing has taken place.
Healing is magical, no doubt about it, so beautiful and rich to experience and witness. Ritual and out of the ordinary practices are powerful tools to impact the mind, but mind and belief are the power fuelling this magic.
