Healing as a Mystical Experience
While we have established a model for healing that unites the forces of the body, mind, and spirit, we have emphasized the influence of our emotions and our attitudes on the quality of our health. The role of the spirit remains the most mysterious aspect of these three forces; yet, it is by far the most important. While the mind and the emotions may be the doorway to the spirit, the soul is a much deeper realm of power that is accessible only through prayer, self-reflection, and relentless inner work. When a complete healing occurs—not a remission, but a complete healing—it is often declared a miracle, but that is a word used when the power of the soul is not recognized. A true healing is first and foremost a mystical experience through which the soul embodies sufficient grace to transform a state of disease into a condition of health. Such a healing transcends the power of the mind or the emotions. This quality of healing embodies the mystery of the Divine in action.
