A Word About Healing
The idea of healing is a complex one. It means many things to many different people. For the purpose of this site I will recognize two types of healing.
1) Physical healing – This healing results in favorable conditions for the body. Ie: The strengthening of the immune system, or the healing of a broken limb.
2)Spiritual/psychological healing – This healing results in favorable conditions for the soul/mind. Ie: A safe environment, or feelings of happiness.
From here on in I wish use the term psycho-spiritual to describe this type of healing
The reason I list both spiritual and psychological is so that no one gets left out. Some people don’t take a spiritual approach to life, some people do. The described effects of both spiritual healing and psychological healing are very similar in nature. And our only real goal with detoxing is to heal, so lets not split hairs. A good detoxer wants peace, not argument.
Also, there is a distinct relation between physical healing and psycho-spiritual healing.
When the body is happy the mind is more likely to be happy. It is unburdened by pain. A good example is a well functioning immune system. If you don’t get sick, you wont miss work and you wont worry about how to pay your bills. Then you wont fight with your significant other about money issues.
I will of course talk about less personal healing on this site. Healing the environment is a big one. But you will know this type of healing though the context of the post you are reading.
All the best
