What Is Healing?
Crystal and Stone Healing
Though much of the work suggested in this book is about becoming harmoniously balanced, which more often than not brings us the healing that is appropriate for us, there are several more techniques that are helpful to know that directly work with healing. As usual with crystal and stone work, these healing techniques work with the subtle body to influence the physical body, emotions, and mind. We can do crystal stone and healing work with those who are physically with us or those who are at a distance.
To heal is to make whole. Generally, physical and mental illness, stress, emotional pain, and other forms of suffering result from a state of imbalance or disharmony within our subtle bodies, our physical body, and/or within our lives. More often than not, because of the interrelationship between bodies, when in a state of imbalance or disharmony in one body we are in a state of disharmony in the others. Likewise, if our life is stressful or full of pain and suffering for one reason or another, this affects our physical and subtle bodies.
It is well known that emotions are reflected in our body. Our thoughts, affecting our emotions, are also reflected in our body. That being so, mental imbalances can show up as physical pain, often corresponding to the type of imbalance it is. Excessive worry, for example, can manifest as headaches, muscle tightness, and back or stomach issues. Sadness and unexpressed tears can manifest as issues with our throats. Anger affects our stomach. Greed may reflect in heart issues, as it is so often based on fear and a basic lack of the deeply fulfilled feeling of the open heart. When we are whole, our body, mind, and emotions balanced and peaceful, our health improves. True healing, then, is focused on the recreation of the natural harmony in and between the physical, mental, and emotional bodies, facilitated by our actions as guided by the Higher Spirit, rather than just the removal of symptoms.
NO SYMPTOM EXISTS IN ISOLATION.
