How does the mind-body-spirit connection relate to the healing process?
• The mind, body, and spirit are interrelated and cannot be separated. All three components must be recognized and dealt with to truly heal. • The subconscious acts as the “master control center” for the entire body. It keeps the body functioning per the directions of the thoughts it receives. Your body is a physical manifestation of your thought processes. Consider whether you are directing your thoughts toward wellness or toward disease? Do your thoughts of fear, hopelessness, or anger outweigh the healthier thoughts of love, forgiveness, and gratitude? If they do, consider the effect on your body. • By determining the core emotional issues that may be creating disease or blocking wellness, and by connecting to our spiritual side to positively affect our emotions, we can be guided towards healing.
