According to The Oxford Dictionary, the word “healing” means, “The process of making or becoming sound or healthy again.”  ‘Becoming healthy again,’ suggests that one’s natural state is wholeness; i.e., spirit, mind, and body in perfect alignment. It further suggests that there is a way, or method through which a perfect healing may be realized.

Ernest Holmes, the author of The Science of Mind, states, “The whole idea of healing, when understood, is the substitution of Truth for sense-testimony.”  Here, he provides a clearly defined process for becoming whole, not only in our physical body, but the body of our affairs. He tells us that even while there is apparent evidence of lack, limitation, fear, anxiety, bigotry, or any disorder, begin to acknowledge our true nature that is always whole, complete, and perfect, and knows nothing of sickness, lack, failing relationships, or suffering of any kind.   In other words, begin to tell ourselves the Truth about our inherent nature in spite of the condition we may be experiencing. This method is called Spiritual Mind Healing.  

 Our natural state of being is the image and likeness of God. God is the Invisible Presence of Peace, Harmony, Love, Joy, Wisdom, Beauty, Abundance, and all that is everlasting goodness. As we embody this Truth of who we truly are, the creative energy of Divine Mind receives the vibrational tone of our beliefs and feelings and becomes our experiences in the world. In other words, when the qualities of The Divine are deeply felt within one’s self, as one’s self, they cannot help but express as that individual.

When concepts of Oneness and Unity are not only intellectualized, but are internalized and embraced as the absolute reality about life, and practiced accordingly, soon a new pattern is established. The former erroneous thoughts and beliefs that say, God and me; them and us, sickness and health, etc., will fall away naturally, dissolving into the native nothing from whence they came.

This does not mean we deny the experience or the condition that is showing up in the physical or emotional realms.

Self-care includes pursuing professionals and modalities that offer relief and alleviate discomfort. It does mean, however, that we consistently remember who we are as defined by our inherent nature. 

The healing process involves aligning one’s self with The Changeless Truth at the center of our being.  Actually, the only thing that ever needs to be healed, is the belief in separation.

The Prayer of Faith by Hannah More Kohaus affirms:

God is my health, I can’t be sick;
God is my strength, unfailing, quick;
God is my all; I know no fear,
Since God, and Love, and Truth are here.
