Transformation and the path

Healing

Healing is the restoration of wholeness, the return of body, mind, and spirit to their natural harmony. In the mind-power traditions it is never merely the repair of the flesh but the correction of the thought and feeling that shaped the condition, for the outer body is understood as the visible expression of the inner state. Change the consciousness, the teachers say, and the form must follow, because mind is the cause and the body its plastic material.

New Thought made healing its founding work, from Quimby's discovery that disease follows an opinion to Louise Hay's insistence that the point of power is always the present moment. The energy healers add that the same life-current that animates the cosmos flows through us, and that healing is the opening of the channel so more of it can pass. All healing is finally self-healing, a remembering of the wholeness that was never actually lost.

The point of power is always in the present moment.Louise Hay
