When we meditate we are simply turning everything over to God and quieting the mind, allowing whatever happens to just be. It is totally accepting, peaceful state. It is the highest form of prayer. Disease is literally a lack of ease in the mind or body. It indicates that we are disturbed, not quiet, that the body is abnormal in feeling or function.
Illness is a sate of being out of health or sick-symptoms like pain often appear.
Treatment indicates interrupting the disease process by trying to remove or relieve the visible symptoms. Healing is a holistic endeavor designed to eliminate the true causes of the illness or disease. The harmony induced by holistic healing returns a person to a state of health and symptoms disappear. Depression is caused initially by repressed anger and guilt along with thoughts of hopelessness, weakness and despair. If left untreated biochemical changes occur in the body making psychotherapy much more difficult.
