Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 According to Ratra, to become an effective spiritual healer one needs to intensively work with sadhana (meditation), seva (help) and sankirtan (devotional chanting). "Spiritual healing can definitely help remove the prevailing misery in society," he adds. http://www.lifepositive.com/Spirit/new-age-path/spiritual-healing/spiritual-healing.html the reason we suffer, fundamentally, is because we believe and experience ourselves as separate from god. if we could, from moment to moment, as the masters of the wisdom do, as the highest initiates do, experience ourselves as one with all that exists, one and identical, we would realize that god and we are one. we would no longer suffer. http://spirituality.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1776897905.cms A good site: http://www.dhyansanjivani.org/spiritual_heal.asp The spiritual and psychological entanglements that lead to suffering also can result in illness of all sorts. Many Tibetan Buddhist methods and tools for awakening, for removing those entanglements, also promote relaxation and healing. In traditional Tibetan culture, practicing meditation and using prayer wheels, incense, prayer flags and other methods all work together with Tibetan herbal medicine in healing illness and maintaining health. http://www.dharma-haven.org/tibetan/healing.htm Thus there is a deeper level of healing, a spiritual level. In fact, this aspect of healing points directly to the fact that true spirituality must have a psychological component. Unlike the pagan worship offered by the ancient Greeks and Romans merely to appease the vanity of the gods—gods who had no interest at all in the moral behavior of humanity—genuine spirituality calls a person into a deep psychological change. This change comes from opening your heart to love. http://www.guidetopsychology.com/reltx.htm Islamic Spiritual Healing Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was once in a session where he was curing people through spiritual methods when he was asked whether or not remedies should be sought from medicines. He said, "Yes, you must seek remedy from medicine, because whatever disease God has created in this world, He has also created its remedy as well. But there is one disease for which He has not created any remedy, which is old age." Each and every prescribed Quranic verse has its unique healing property, which differs from those of other verses. The following are some examples of verses used in spiritual healing. Six Verses Of Healing: "Ayat Al-Shifa""And [God] shall heal the breast of the believers." Tauba 9:14 http://www.crescentlife.com/wellness/spiritual_healing_in_the_islamic_tradition.htm "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
