| Metaphysics |
Metaphysical healing is based on the belief that negative mental patterns, left unchecked, can eventually result
in physical disease or illness; and that the reversing of those negative mental patterns into positive patterns can
in turn lead to healing.
Though western medicine dismisses the notion of metaphysical healing, there is little doubt about the
connection between mind and body. Doctors routinely tell patients to keep spirits high while, understanding
that anything that makes a patient feel better mentally and emotionally, aids healing. Depression, on the other
hand, tends to slow healing.
Metaphysical healing takes this principle to a very fundamental level, in very specific ways. According to those
who believe in metaphysical healing, certain common negative thinking habits affect particular areas of the
body.
For example, worry about money issues tend to manifest as lower back problems, as the back represents
support. A believer in metaphysical healing who was experiencing soreness in his lower back would examine
his thought process to see if he had been over-anxious about money issues of late. Once the negative thinking
pattern was identified and replaced with a new habitual positive pattern, the backaches, if caused by the old
negative pattern, should subside.
The idea behind metaphysical healing is that the individual is his or her own healer, responsible for creating
both health and illness. When an individual falls ill, the believer in metaphysical health does not think it was
by chance, but by mental patterns that can be identified and replaced. The type and point of origin of the
ailment gives a clue where to look in the thinking patterns.
According to this belief, the most compromising emotions to health are longstanding guilt, resentment, and
anger. The biggest healers are self-love, self-acceptance, and self-worth.
Metaphysical healing has been practiced in one form or another throughout history. Shamanic practices relied
heavily on the patient believing the shaman had the power to throw out illness. Believing so, once a ritual was
performed, the patient was often healed.
While the advances of western medicine continue to be invaluable, for those who believe, metaphysical healing
offers an intriguing look into the mind's ability to heal the body.
