The human body is phenomenally intelligent, dynamically creative and highly self-correcting, mainly through the immune system. The body's self- healing mechanism is activated by nutrition, exercise and stress management through harmony. David Faltons study revealed that the amygdala and the hypothalamus make the lymbic system that influences the state of mind and emotions. Positive attitudes like love, happiness, and peace stimulate the immune system and negative attitudes like loneliness, low self esteem, envy, aggression, hatred, guilt feeling, and suppressed anger act against healing and the immune system. Healing has the following 3 components.
Healing is restoration of the functions that has been lost.
Restoring a person to the purpose for which he was created. Making reconciliation after estrangement - within oneself, with others and with God. Death itself can be an act of healing if recognized as within the purpose of God. We should help person to die victoriously peacefully and hopefully. The West is now turning round to see the values in some of the oriental traditional healing like yoga and Ayurveda.
