I feel all diseases(lack of ease) have a psychosomatic cause and that ALL of us have the power to heal ourselves, and thus heal others(The power of the human mind:).
There are various ways of healing oneself. Delusion is dispelled by deeper and deeper meditation until one has ecstatic contact of the ever new pervading bliss of Divine love. Meditative efforts are supportive and enhanced by reading true scriptures with intuitive understanding and by discriminative introspection on religious truths; by association with God-contacting saints; by attunement in thought and action with the ideals and guidance of one's guru; by devotion; by good actions of helping oneself and others to be free from physical, mental and spiritual suffering; and by moral living. Attending religious services and keeping good company only shows that the person is interested in spirituality. Liberation from delusion must be preceded by an actual commitment to following and practicing the precepts of one who contacts the Divine and who can teach the technique of universal Divine law.
Psychological diseases receive the healing support needed from self-analysis, attentive introspection, and association with and emulation of mentally healthy people. Concentration on spiritulised thoughts in meditation actually eradicates the causes of mental diseases and corroding bad mental habits. In meditation the mind becomes interiorised and withdraws the externally activating life force from the muscles and nerves and concentrates it in the brain cells where the evil tendencies are recorded.This concentrated life energy in meditation burns out the 'grooves' or patterns(imprints)of mental habits that are lodged in the brain('Through meditation...you can set the stage for important mind- and habit-altering brain change', concluded Herbert Benson, M.D., Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, after extensive research reported in his book,Your Maximum Mind(New York Random House, 1987).' Over the years, ' he writes, 'you develop 'circuits' and 'channels' of thought in your brain. These are physically pathways which control the way you think, the way you act, and often, the way you feel.Many times, these pathways or habits becomes so fixed that they turn into what I call 'wiring'. In other words,the circuits or channels become so deeply ingrained that it seems almost impossible to transform them').
Mental negative habits will also yield their hold by association with persons with good mental habits. The timid should associate with the brave, the sensual with those possessing self-control, the restless with those who have meditative habits. Exercise of willpower translated into won't power, and staying away from bad company and environment that feed a specific negative habit, can starve the life out of compulsions to behave wrongly.
The chemical properties and nutrients of fresh herbs have been shown since ancient time to be beneficial in healing by eliminating poisons and destroying bacteria in the blood.
Doubt, depression, pessimistic thoughts,lack of will, weaken the flow of healing life energies; the conscious direction of the mind's powers by positive thoughts, prayers,affirmations,visualisations,will,cheerfulness, stimulates the natural healing processes of the body with the vital life force necessary to aid to restoring health. People should learn to draw more on the all-healing power of the mind, along with the observance of healthful habits: proper eating,exercise,fresh air and sunshine,hygiene,physical and mental relaxation, and conscious recharging of the life force.
Spinal adjustments and massage are effective promoters of healing, for their release obstructed life force to carry out its function as the sure healer of physical diseases.
Yoga exercises, the postures or asanas of Hatha(Sun Moon) Yoga, are an excellent means of adjusting the spinal vertebrae to release the pressure on the spinal nerves and bring about the normal flow of life force in the nervous system, promoting healing of many diseases.
Only Divine love has unlimited resources to heal. Man's power may fail, but Divine love never fails.
Whatever one's vocation in life, one needs to feel connection to the source. The cultivation of a spiritual life requires solitary places of Divine communion. Divine love can be felt easily in inspiring scenic surroundings free from noise. The Sages of India have taught that the hours surrounding the transitional times of dawn,noon,sunset and midnight of each solar day are conducive to the cultivation of spiritual development. The magnetic cosmic laws of attraction and repulsion that affect the body are most harmoniously equilibrated during the above four periods.This helps a meditating individual to interiorise himself in Divine communion. To meditate in the quietness of the early mornings and at night is to meditate in a solitary place. During those times, most people are asleep, and the city, or one's surroundings, are quiet. The results of peace are realised from meditation are easily obtained due to less noise and wrong vibrations of restless people.
On holidays and in leisure moments, instead of wasting time with senseless diversions and worldly people, the truth-seeker enjoys time with the Divine- taking a refreshing walk to a quiet lonely place to meditate.
