What is Healing?
How do you define healing?
So many people interpret healing in physical terms only. When you get rid of a debilitating physical condition, it is said that you are healed. Most people when talking about healing refers to this physical healing only.
There is another healing - at the mental/spiritual level. For me healing is all about finding the inner peace within me. When i am at peace with myself, when outside circumstances can not create imbalance in my thought process - that is healing for me.
Wikipedia definition of healing
The open online encyclopedia, wikipedia.org defines healing as a physical process only, totally ignoring the mental, emotional aspect.
[quote]Healing is the process whereby the cells in the body regenerate and repair to reduce the size of a damaged or necrotic area. Healing incorporates both the removal of necrotic tissue (demolition), and the replacement of this tissue.[/quote]
IMO, healing in the broader sense is not just about regenaration of damaged cells, it is also about dealing effectively with the mental and emotional issues.
