The mind, body and soul of healing

Genuine healing encompasses both mind, body and soul. You cannot and must not separate one from the other.

You cannot [and must not] separate the soul from the body when looking for healing.

This is simply because you are not a machine.

Seeking to only fix the body without engaging the soul would be like trying to fix a faulty computer by only looking at its hardware and completely ignoring its software or operating system.

Your emotional and physical wellbeing is connected.

Mind, Body and Spirit

Soul

Healing encompasses the whole person

Seek after solutions that heal not only the body but the soul as well

A poem by D.H.Lawrence that beautifully shows us this connection.

Healing by D. H. Lawrence

I am not a mechanism, an assembly of various sections.

And it is not because the mechanism is working wrongly, that I am ill.

I am ill because of wounds to the soul, to the deep emotional self

and the wounds to the soul take a long, long time, only time can help

and patience, and a certain difficult repentance

long, difficult repentance, realization of life’s mistake, and the freeing oneself

from the endless repetition of the mistake

which mankind at large has chosen to sanctify.

D.H. Lawrence
