What is the difference between emotional healing and physical healing? It might be easy to describe physical healing as the actual repair of body tissues back to normal again. And for emotional healing, one might think about the release of a destructive, patterned way of thinking, or maybe of forgiveness. Lately I can describe emotional healing as becoming aware of a new possibility for my life that I did not see as a possibility prior to the awareness. I am thinking a lot lately about how these two types of healing go together in every instance we can think of. I believe that you can try to separate physical and emotional healing, but that really they are inseparable. There are thoughts and emotions that go along with every physical encounter. To heal one, is to affect the other. Everything is connected in this way.
John Barnes (www.myofascialrelease.com) talks about each cell in our body having an intelligence. Emotional healing happens in our bodies and our minds together, inseparable.
The next time you feel pain in your body, begin to be aware of it, connecting with the physical sensations, and the emotional ones. It is through this awareness that there can be whole body healing.
What are your thoughts about the mind-body connection and how you have noticed it in your life?
