Healing

Academic Paper Review by: kamala    

Original Author: Lakshmi

Spontaneous healing can be

explained with two metaphysical thoughts. According to the first theory the psychological abilities of an individual such as courage, faith, prayer, optimism and hope play a role in the process of spontaneous recovery. (Aldridge, David, 1993). In the second metaphysical thought a mental shift allows the healing process leading to recovery which can attribute to the grace of god. The visible, felt and the observable improvement of health irrespective of the treatment given are referred to as “the placebo effect”. The treatment or the medication given to a person with an intention that its effect would be inert or innocuous is placebo. According to some the effect of the placebo is psychological, which may be due to the belief or feeling of the person that he is improving. The psychological effect has its role in one’s body chemistry. The illness may take its natural course and the person may recover, and in that way the placebo effect may due to nature. When a person needs energy, he gets that energy through spiritual healing, and the holistic health of a person depends on the treatment on the body, mind and spirit, the harmonization of which gives a good health. The benefits of spiritual healing include peace of mind, self-confidence, and the capacity to give or receive unconditional love.
