Health in Body, Mind and Emotions

The Human as a Power Unit

We have already seen how every human is a power unit and relays through his or her being the life force from the inexhaustible Universal Source.

In good health this life-force flows freely to vitalize and, if necessary, heal the organs of the body. But negative thoughts and feelings cause distortions and blockages in the flow which result in illness.

How can we prevent this disease? By living in accordance with natur­al law which means deep breathing to absorb the life-giving energy which comes from the sun, by relaxation, rest and correct diet.

The Holistic View of Health

The holistic view of health, which is widely accepted today, aims to heal the whole person rather than just the physical body. Practitioners using various forms of spiritual healing, color and sound therapy, and meditation techniques, recognize that body, mind and spirit are intercon­nected.

Many healers like Edgar Cayce and Theosophists Dora Kunz, Geoffrey Hodson and Phoebe Bendit, who understand the human vehi­cles, have successfully used clairvoyance to diagnose illness by seeing where blockages and distortions occur in the human energy field. Research by Kirlian photography has reinforced the idea that incipient dis­ease shows up in the vital etheric field before it affects the physical body.

Balancing the Energies

Healing is also seen as a process of balancing the human energy field at all levels so that it is in harmony with the world in which we live.

The ancient Chinese were aware of two great forces in the universe and in humanity which they called the Yin and Yang. When these were in equilibrium, human beings enjoyed health, but when there was a lack of balance between them disease set in.

In the practice of acupuncture this balance in the etheric life-force, or 'chi', is achieved by the insertion of needles at centers called acupuncture points. This allows the unimpeded flow of 'chi' yin and yang energy, or prana, which restores the health.

Thinking Affects Health

Our own thoughts, other people's thoughts and the collective world thought, all affect our health because these vibrations resonate into the etheric field. For good health we need a positive and constructive outlook on life and a 'quiet' mind which does not react strongly, is open to new ideas and free of fixations and conditioning. In other words, don't waste time worrying.
