Healing: Key to Spiritual Balance
In a world of apparent chaos and confusion, where conflicts and disturbance dominate the evening news, most of us are seeking some form of healing.  We may be looking to ease the tension and the stress, to deal with physical or emotional pain, to provide greater stability in our lives or to create change in our lives.  We may be looking for ways to heal ourselves, to heal those around us, to heal the world, or all the above.Many voices call to the individual who wishes to heal self or others:  the voices of physical and spiritual healers of any number of persuasions, of drugs and remedies legal and illegal, of individuals claiming uniqueness and superiority in their powers, abilities and information as healers; voices offering sympathy, consolation and comfort, miracles and perfection, be-all and end-all.  People are seeking new cures and medicines as well as delving into the past to revive ancient healing practices.What is it we are seeking to heal?  What does healing mean?  What does it provide the individual and the world?  What is it these voices are offering us, and what approach to healing will work best for us?In her second book, HEALING: Key to Spiritual Balance, Mary Ellen Flora provides a spiritual perspective of healing.  She deals with the spiritual issues that lie at the root of our discontent, and the ways these issues affect us in this physical reality:  issues such as responsibility for others vs. responsibility for self; expectations and judgment; emotional and physical pain; dichotomies of good and evil, male and female, spirit and body, and how we can balance these dichotomies within ourselves; and more.Central to Mary Ellen's presentation, as in her previous work, MEDITATION: Key to Spiritual Awakening, is the concept that each of us is a spiritual being who has a body, and that each of us is a part of God.  She further bases her work on the beliefs that healing is change, all healing is self healing, and we create our reality from our beliefs.Readers will no doubt get validation, as I did, that regardless of which healing path they pursue, or what healer, if any, they find to assist in their healing process, they have the ability and the energy to heal themselves.In addition, techniques for spiritual healing are presented with refreshing simplicity--techniques that allow anyone who uses them to increase their own spiritual awareness and clarity.  Complexities of ritual and dogma are set aside.  The concepts that healing is change and that all healing is self healing provide grounds for new insights and awareness.Amusement, present time and the ability to create and destroy spiritually are three of the techniques presented to help readers achieve the "spiritual balance" they desire. --From the Publisher--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
