I love this answer to this question. I hope others will find it helpful. Recently, a friend shared Anita with me. She had a NDE (near death experience) in 2006. She was healed from lymphoma, among other things. Her book is listed below, which I have not read yet.
Q: Many who
would like to heal themselves want to know how to go about things like “trusting
in your own healing,” “letting go and allowing healing,” and “accessing your
place of healing.” Are these platitudes of any use to the average person? People
who want to heal their bodies need to know how to put such things into
practice.
A: I don’t like
to advocate a set methodology, instructions, or anything like that, because if I
do, I’m only creating more dogma, and the whole point is to be free of that. I
do suggest, however, not viewing illness or symptoms as “something to be gotten
rid of,” like an enemy. This a fear based reaction. For me, the appearance of these
symptoms is my body’s way of trying to heal me. I know that if I try to
eliminate the illness with an adversarial attitude, I end up doing the opposite,
antagonizing it and embedding myself deeper into the illness
mind-set.
This doesn’t necessarily
mean that you don’t go and see a doctor. I’m purely referring to how I view
disease or physical manifestations of the body. The idea is not to obsess about
it and have your days revolve around doing things for the sole purpose of
getting rid of the illness. It’s actually far more productive to distract
yourself and stay occupied with activities that stimulate you in a positive,
creative way.
As far as I could, I’d try to
free myself from needing my health to be a certain way in order to find
happiness and just create joy in the moment, as though I were already healthy.
Living in the present means not carrying any emotional baggage from one segment
of time into the next. Every instant is unique and can’t be replicated. It’s our
choice whether to carry our fears with us, keeping us stuck in
illness.
You don’t
have to be a spiritual guru or anything. Just make the most of every minute,
living it to the fullest and doing things that make you happy, whether you have
a month to live or 100 years." ~ Anita Moorjani, Dying
