As a result, the energy that he passed on to his aunt had a harmful effect rather than a healing one. He may have even believed that visiting his aunt was a spiritual act. Getting caught up in the 'shoulds', which often derives from feelings of guilt and unworthiness, makes us do things for the wrong reasons and prevents us from evaluating our feelings and actions honestly. It is not, for example, being spiritual to deny our own needs and invest our energies in those who are never satisfied and give us nothing in return. Nor is it spiritual to waste our energies on fruitless and unhealthy patterns of thought.
Spirituality thus has a direct impact on our physical and psychological well-being.
When these energies are depleted or blocked, not only is the body's ability to heal itself greatly diminished, but the body's ability to prevent illness is compromised. If our goal is wellness, we need to become aware of what we are doing with our minds. Our bodies are like a fish swimming in a stream.
