We often think of healing as the physical part of healing. Healing our physical body – healing from an illness, injury, or disease. Resilient healing is to recover quickly after an illness or injury. This can be done by taking into consideration the whole body – not just the injured or diseased portion. Looking for the root cause and not just eliminating symptoms. Our physical body is one third of total healing and resilience.
Another third for healing and resilience is the mind. Our mind and brains are wonderful powerful parts of our bodies. It can be our biggest supporter or our worst saboteur. Our mind and thoughts are often in need of healing. Our mental health is a key factor in our overall healing. One can be amazingly physically healed of all ailments but still feel ill due to mental health “ailments.” Taking care of our mental health is key to health and healing.
The last third is our soul – the spiritual part of us. You might call it God, Allah, spirit, the universe, your personal soul, or the collection of souls - whatever you are comfortable with. Yes, our souls can be injured or hurt and in need of healing. The wisdom and spiritual traditions of the world speak to this in their holy texts. They also have prayers, meditations, and/or affirmations to help heal a broken, lost soul. Connect with your spiritual soul.
