What does healing mean?
Science is now showing what yogic teachings have been stating for
thousands of years: that deep down under what looks like solid
matter we are all vibrating energy and empty space.
According to the yogic teachings, this vibrating energy takes the
form of atoms, cells and tissues which in its turn creates the
human body. But to understand healing through the yogic lens we
must also recognize the three aspects of our being: body, mind and
soul/the inner world.
What happens when the movement of the energy within our body, mind
and soul gets imbalanced? That is when we enter a state of
disharmony - DIS-EASE - within ourselves.
Luckily enough, nature equipped us with just the
right tool to heal ourselves: the ability to stop, relax and be
absolutely still. When we do so, we allow the body to go into its
parasymapthetic nervous system where the body automatically heals
itself.
Just like sunny days need to be followed by rain, as the daylight
is followed by night, so does our organism need rest and stillness
after all the doing. This is what is called balance and that is
what healing is, bringing us into a state of balance and
harmony.
This topic is close to the heart for both of us as we so strongly
believe in and have seen the power we all have to heal ourselves
when we are open to receive help and set our will to do so.
