A man went to a doctor for
relief from wheezing. The doctor asked him to have a cold water shower for
an hour, sit in front of an air conditioner for another hour and come back
to him for treatment.
The patient got frightened and said that if he
did that his wheezing will be full blown into asthma. The doctor said, "that
is exactly what I want. I know how to treat asthma, but not wheezing!"
When healing turns into a
business proposition, it can lead to great danger, both to the healer and
the healed!
All religions and all Masters
have shown that they have healing powers. Healing is not any miracle; it is
simply playing with Energy. With any religion or Master, the first sign that
one looks for is healing.
In fact, no Master is
accepted as a Master if he cannot heal people and restore health in his
followers in some form or the other. Spirituality itself is only a 'pickle'
for most people. They take a bit of it when they feel like it. It is never a
main meal!
Buddha says: Healing is
expression of your compassion and care you extend towards someone to help
them. Healing is restoring physical, mental and emotional well being.
Healing can happen at any of these levels. Healing of the spirit takes care
of the well being of all these three levels: physical, mental and emotional.
Healing energy for the spirit comes from the Cosmic energy.
We are all part of the Cosmic energy. This Cosmic energy created
us; it nourishes us; it energises us and keeps us healthy. Unlike other
forms of elemental energy such as earth, water, fire and air which are
available to us for direct absorption, cosmic energy is intangible. In order
to absorb this energy of which we are part, the only route is meditation.
Within our body system, energy of the Cosmos is reflected through
energy centres or chakra. When these energy centres are blocked by our
negative emotions, we tend to become ill. Meditation can energise these
energy centres by dissolving our negativities. Our health, physical, mental
and emotional, is restored. Meditation heals!
Healing makes the body at
ease. Healing the mind leads to happiness and well being. Healing the spirit
liberates you into bliss. This is the path of meditation. |
