The Healing Power of Mind

Pages : 226

Book Description
The true nature of our minds is enlightened and peaceful, as the depth of the ocean is calm and clear. But when we mentally grasp and emotionally cling to our wants and worries with all our energy, we lose our own enlightened freedom and healing power, only to gain stress and exhaustion, suffering and overexcitement, like the turbulent waves rolling on the surface of the ocean. Our minds possess the power to heal pain and stress, and to blossom into peace and joy, by loosening the clinging attitudes that Buddhists call "grasping at self." If we apply the mind's healing power, we can heal not only our mental and emotional afflictions, but physical problems also. This book is an invitation to awaken the healing power of mind through inspiring images and sounds, mindful movements, positive perceptions, soothing feelings, trusting confidence, and the realization of openness. The healing principle on which these exercises are based is the universal nature and omnipresent power envisioned in Mahayana Buddhism. Yet for healing, we don't have to be believers in any particular faith. We can heal body and mind simply by being what we truly are, and by allowing our own natural healing qualities to manifest: a peaceful and open mind, a loving and positive attitude, and warm, joyful energy in a state of balance and harmony.

The Healing Power of Combining Hands on Healing with Angelic Energy and Aromatherapy

Category : Religion

Pages : 158

Book Description
“they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. ” — Mark 16:18, KJV ....“anointed many sick people with oil and healed them”, — Mark 6:13, KJV Hopefully this book will be a humble reminder to all of those involved in healing work, which combines two healing techniques that are as powerful today as they were in the Biblical times. Anointing with essential oil was commonly practiced throughout the Scriptures for many different purposes. The New Testament mentions it specifically in connection with praying for the sick. Today’s Aromatherapy is practiced in many different settings and variations but a common denominator among all aroma therapists is the sense of reverence towards the miracle of nature in the form of essential oils. They know that fragrance can affect the mood, calm, relax and release emotions. Today’s energy work also comes in a variety of methods, but what all of them have in common is the unconditional love and the spiritual meaning of healing.
