"True healing is to bring two things that are disassociated into meaningful relationship with each other." [1]
Healing of Mind and Body
Directives
"If the problem is purely mechanical, go to a doctor and fix it. If it deals with your mind, which is often the case, or has a mental equivalent, well, you need to go work with someone a little bit to get back into relationship, restore your self-expression and gain some perspective on your life." [2]
"To take care of your body, feed it properly. Find out if there are some foods aggravating you or not. Be sure to exercise, and practice some form of meditation or time of quiet. For ninety-nine percent of the people, this is adequate." <ef>Wisdom from The Greater Community, vol. 1, chap. 31, p. 368 </ref>
"You must recognize your psychological weaknesses, your unforgiveness of others and your unresolved conflicts from the past. You must explore how these things can be resolved.... If your body is weak, if your body is out of shape, then it may not be able to sustain you as a vehicle in this world. Many promising people have fallen because their physical health was inadequate to sustain the life that they had assumed. Here again you must assess your strengths and your weaknesses. Everyone physically has weak links in their health. What are those weak links? Where is your body strong and where is it fragile? What must you eat that is proper for maintaining a strong constitution? You must exercise every day and find the time to do this." [3]
"Your relationship with your mind and your body are the primary arenas where healing and empowerment must occur....You must reclaim your Being within the physical and the mental environments because you were sent here to do that. These are the arenas where the disassociation within yourself must be healed." [4]
Healing Within
Short Quotes
"Healing comes as a result of recognizing a greater purpose in your life." [5]
"The New Message teaching on relationships and higher purpose will require that you complete and that you forgive your former life so that you are free and powerful enough to take a greater journey. There is no escaping this work. There is no bypassing this work. There is no running away from your past. There is no hiding or denying or rejecting something that is real within yourself. Everything must come out into the open to be reconsidered and re-evaluated. You must be free to express grief, disappointment, anger. You must have this emotional freedom, or you are like a person who is held in chains, chained to a wall." [6]
"If you consider yourself to be only an object, a body, you will only relate to other objects and bodies. Yet if you experience yourself as part of the Presence, you will then learn to recognize the Presence in others. This is part of the healing process." [7]
"People think healing is just making painful things go away, like healing a wound in your body. But healing at the level of your thinking and emotions is really something else. It is not just an escape from pain; it is not just wanting to make something go away. It requires facing something and determining its real value and meaning for your life. That is healing. It is turning something that was harmful and painful into something that is beneficial and useful. It is the recognition and the restoration of wisdom and value from something." [8]
