Wellness is a desire of all human beings, yet the interpretation of those characteristics that indicate wellness differs from one person to the next and, oftentimes, within one person over the course of his/her life. What is labeled as vitality in a youth might be regarded as something that is less desirable in a middle-aged person, and vice versa. Those who believe and expect that their physical body is capable of a certain level of activity and flexibility no matter their chronological age will most often experience what they believe is possible; the opposite holds true as well.
The process of healing is perceived by some to incrementally move in a certain direction, i.e., away from the state of dis-ease; the perception of others includes some worsening of symptoms before the betterment can take hold. Instantaneous healing is considered by most to be a miracle that is seldom seen. What remains widely unknown is that so-called miraculous healing takes place each moment, unnoticed via intellectual faculties. Just because we don’t see it, feel it, and/or have rational knowledge of it does not mean it is absent. Healing occurs all of the time and often without any conscious effort on the part of the person involved.
The diagnosis of an ailment does not have to take place for the ailment to be present: Most of us would agree with that statement. However, what most don’t recognize as true is that an undiagnosed ailment is sometimes more easily healed since the person with that ailment is not interfering with the miraculous (albeit inherent) healing properties of the human body. The human organism is self-perpetuating and self-regulating when allowed to do its work unhindered by limiting beliefs and restrictions imposed upon it through one’s thoughts and actions. Though it is said that knowledge is power, in this fear-driven world of ours, that is not necessarily the case. Knowledge channeled through fear-based beliefs and ramped up via the resulting negative emotions can be more dangerous than not. A serene mind and tranquil emotions do more to maintain a state of health and well-being than any amount of intellectual knowledge. Wisdom, health, and joy abide in presence; healing is most available when and where stillness resides.
Alignment between the human being incarnate in physical form and his/her spiritual counterpart promotes a state of well-being on every level. This is not to say that the appearance of dis-ease in the earthly world signifies that there is no alignment. It simply indicates that there is a shift occurring that has the potential to further enhance the connection between self and Soul, which in turn leads to fine-tuning alignment, expansion, and growth. How we interpret all of this from a human perspective depends on our beliefs, and it is to some degree beyond the comprehension of the reasoning mind. “…Within each molecule indwells a radiant jewel inherent with potential…” Potentiality as viewed through the human mind has limits that only exist in the mortal world.
