You can call this friend your inner guide, inner healer, inner helper, health adviser, or whatever name you wish. I call this inner source of healing insights from my intuitive mind, my inner physician'. Intuition is that unerring and inexplicable knowing beyond logic and volition. It lies at the roots of spontaneity, humour, creativity, inspiration, and even genius. And it is an especially powerful ally in the healing process.
Intuition is also the mind of our inner physician.
The medical missionary, theologian, and music scholar Albert Schweitzer was speaking of the inner physician when he said, The medicine man succeeds for the same reason all the rest of us succeed. Each patient carries his own doctor inside him. We are at our best when we give the doctor within each patient a chance to go to work. As the inner physician, your intuitive mind is on constant alert to warn you of impending health challenges, present remedies to eradicate debilitating stress, reverse conditions of ill health, and help you develop improved habits for maintaining optimal health. One of the ways my inner physician alerts me to a potential crisis is through my dreams.
