Two important questions
My Views As A Natural Healer And As A Seeker of Higher Spirituality
What is Illness?
The dictionary meaning of health is 'the state of being free from illness or injury' so illness can be defined as the opposite of health and as a Natural Healer I entirely agree with this. But I feel there is more to illness than this simple definition and we must realize that illness can be at all planes physical, mental or spiritual.
We are so involved in the material world that we hardly have time to think of our illness on the spiritual plane.
On the physical and mental plane a condition of good health reflects a particular situation of balance. It would be balance in eating, digesting, sleeping, emotional control; a general figure of balance reflects health and a general figure of imbalance reflects illness. It is not that only big names like cancer, diabetes, arthritis and cerebral palsy are to be called illness, there are scores of smaller illnesses which bother each one of us every day and most of these smaller illnesses go unnoticed/unattended, either because we do not look at them as illness or we do not take them seriously enough to devote time to their cure; sometimes an illness is reported by a person to his doctor but the ultimate outcome of diagnostic testing and the doctor's advise is that there is nothing wrong that can be called an 'illness'.
On the physical and mental plane we think of illness when something is very noticeably wrong or when one feels that it has become difficult for him or others to cope with the situation. But, as a Natural Healer I feel, I have come across very few people who can be termed as free from illness. Their doctor tells them there is no illness, the diagnostic testing says there is no illness, but these people know that they are not healthy, they definitely have some illness at some plane or the other.
We must develop an outlook to understand the importance of curing ourselves of these minor and small illnesses. Natural Healing can help you in many ways that traditional medicinal approach cannot help you; so even if you test 'O.K' in diagnostic tests despite your experiencing some imbalance, at some plane or the other, you can still look hopefully towards Natural Healing.
A very highly educated lady contacted me at the centre (www.dkhcunderstanding.blogspot.com), she had been under treatment for various physical ailments and though she was not much relieved of her troubles there, she was interested in consulting me for two problems which she was now convinced was not going to get attended in the medicinal world. One of her problems was a certain degree of insomnia and the other was her alarmingly growing awareness of her private parts, that prevailed on her mind all the time; both of her problems were cured with Natural Healing and gradually her confidence grew in Natural Healing and many of here physical ailments were also cured through Natural Healing.
From my experiences with Natural Healing, I feel, if you observe any of the following, please consider if it is a sign of some imbalance in your state of health:
1. Persistent debility or weakness of any kind, physical or mental.
2. You feel prompted to take tonics, vitamins and other energy foods but they do not really remove the debility.
3. Indigestion in any form, Flatulence(gas), Distention, Acidity.
4. Excessive Appetite.
5. Lack of Appetite.
6. Excessive appetite alternating with lack of appetite.
7. Presence of black stools, in any quantity (not the black colour of iron and similar diet).
8. Ideally the bowels should move once in twenty four hours (in the morning), if that is not the case with you it may be a sign of illness.
9. Painful or stiffness of any joint.
10. Over sensitiveness to Heat.
11. Over sensitiveness to Heat.
12. Over sensitiveness to any eatable.
13. Over sensitiveness to anything.
14. Allergy in any form.
15. Painful menses.
16. Mental disturbances during menses.
17. Irregularity of menses.
18. Scanty menses.
19. Excessive flow during menses.
20. Obesity.
21. Skin allergies, rashes, itch or eruption.
22. You find it difficult to enjoy natural sleep.
23. You do not get up fresh in the morning.
24. Excessive anger,Rage, Anxiety or any abnormal mental attitude.
25. You find it difficult to listen to others patiently.
26. You find yourself nervous in facing strangers.
27. Please read the list at (www.dkhcunderstanding.blogspot.com) under label 'Questionnaire-1', if you find your answer in positive to any of the items of this list, consider it as an imbalance.
28. Frequent Diarrhea.
29. Frequent Dysentery
30. Dryness or roughness of skin/nails.
31. frequent fever or persistent feverishness.
32. Febrile heat (You feel feverish but the thermometer does not show any fever).
33. Some abnormality at any given time of the day(increase in urination, itch, dullness etc.).
34. Large abdomen.
35. Increased desire for stimulants like tea coffee or alcohol.
36. Clay colored stools.
37. Burning sensation in urine/stool.
39. Foul Gasses.
40. Dandruff.
41. Spongy gum's.
42. Abnormal obesity on particular portion of the body.
43. Persistent painful boils in the nose or persistent blood colored discharge from the nose or excessive wax formation in the nose or ears.
Why is Illness?
Why does one get a particular illness or suffering?
We live in a material world, worshiping spirituality. We worship those who denied logic and gave up this world, may be Jesus, Buddha or Kabir Das , but we do not make any serious attempt to become what we worship; we try hard become what we do not feel worthy of worship and in this effort, we have accepted the sovereignty of mind. Under the influence of mind we have created different logic and explanations for everything that concern us and our physical body being one of the dearest worldly attachments, HEALTH IS A PRIMARY CONCERN to all of us.
So we are busy with putting forth different logic every day concerning our health while the NATURE is busy putting forth exceptions to our logic to remind us of the larger and superior force. We observe on one hand that even the most advanced, researched, popular and legally protected sciences cannot boast of cent-percent curability, on the other hand the simplest, humblest and cheapest of natural/spiritual methods are also found capable of producing a cure. It is also to be observed that amongst those cured by these natural methods, are people who had faced serious in-curability in the scientific medicinal world. The fact also remains that natural/spiritual methods do not heal everybody.
The truth was, is and will always be that nothing seems to cure completely.
When nothing cures completely, then is it, that like all worldly pursuits we are following a wrong concept with curing also. May be the reality is quit different. May be we need to look at things from a different perspective. Not only health and curing but our entire material existence.
I do not feel like arguing as to whether something that can be termed 'Spiritual' exists or not. I will proceed with the conviction that leaving a few of us, a large majority accepts the existence of the spiritual in some form or the other, to some extent or the other.
Looking at our illness and suffering from a non-material point of view or the Spiritual point of view, the contributing factors to ones ill health can be listed as;
1. The cause
2. Destiny or Karma
3. Process of one's Salvation
So the first thing apparent to us through our vision under the influence of mind is a cause that we logically decide to be any of the seemingly endless list of food hazards, environmental hazards, psychological hazards and accidents etc. These causes are what we are busy inventing everyday, rather every moment. But we all know well that none of these causes has proved to be completely true. May be tobacco produces cancer according to our logic, but we all know that every body consuming tobacco is not getting cancer, and many get cancer without consuming tobacco.
Thus we observe that the cause is not something absolute by itself. There are some other factors also that govern the cause. The cause can then be seen from two angles. Firstly the cause that we observe in the physical world, which appears to be within our control and secondly the cause which is beyond our control, which in fact is the result of the larger cause. If you are destined to die at a particular moment, destiny will create a cause for your death, what so ever it may be.
Regarding the first part, we must exercise all caution and care with respect to the cause within our control. We must learn to follow the rules of Natural Living. When we eat to live, we eat food, when we start living to eat, food starts eating us. Please visit www.naturalunderstanding.blogspot.com to find the importance of various aspects of Natural Living.
For the second part, we must learn to rely on the wish of the Lord and be prayful and thankful in whatever circumstances we are placed in. Always have an eye to see those who are suffering more than you; and remember this world is a place of sorrow, you cannot change the destiny of this world, you can only arrange to get rid of this world through real Salvation (www.santmatunderstanding.blogspot.com and www.ashramunderstanding.blogspot.com).
The process of Salvation also brings a certain amount of sorrow and suffering with itself. We must understand that, and if we have placed ourselves in the process of Salvation, we must gladly face the illness and sufferings that come our way (www.santmatunderstanding.blogspot.com and www.ashramunderstanding.blogspot.com).
