The power of healing

When we talk about healing, we are talking about a return to oneness or completeness. We enter into this life as whole and complete. As time passes, we experience events that affect that state of being. We accept that measles, mumps, and chicken pox are naturally occurring childhood diseases in the western world. Other diseases such as cancer and tuberculosis can cut life short. Once these diseases are contracted the approach is to provide medical intervention that restores the health of the individual. In many cases a diagnosis of a specific disease is akin to a death sentence for we believe that the disease cannot be healed. Yet many people diagnosed as terminal or untreatable one day are perfectly healthy the next without any type of medical explanation. I have heard stories told by these people of how such changes came about. A number of them refused to believe that they were anything but whole and complete and that their healing was a reflection of this belief. Perhaps it is an extension of what occurs when we break a bone and the body naturally knits the pieces together. The cells seem to intuitively know what to do to repair themselves. How do you view the power of healing in your own body?
