Magical Cures and Mystical Remedies

[darlene carrera]

Many people have tarot card, astrology readings, go to psychics or go
to hypnotherapists for post-hypnotic suggestions for weight loss,
smoke cessation, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive
behaviors and the list goes on. Magical cures and mystical remedies
will give relief temporarily, but eventually the issue resurfaces,
because the root cause that created the issue was not addressed.
Finding the root cause takes you on a journey of self-discovery
through your mind, body and spirit, whereby you can eliminate the need
for band-aids, second opinions and empty promises.
While I am not opposed to tarot card or astrology readings, psychics
or post-hypnotic suggestions, they are 'quick fixes' for which a more
indepth approach is needed. Many people go to psychics who pronounce
they had a certain past life or another, with no processing or
conclusion as to how that past life is affecting the current life. In
order to resolve how a past life is affecting the current life the
person needs to experience their own past life.
Mildred Carter, one of the pioneers of reflexology, stated in her
book, 'Body Reflexology,' "whenever we feel pain anywhere in the body,
even the slightest twinge of a pain, it's the body's method of sending
you a signal, and if palpated and rubbed out, may prevent future
illness, although the actual dis-ease may be far removed from the
original site of discomfort..."
Prevention is far superior for health care than treating the illness
or dis-ease in progress. This is not to say, that the illness or dis-
ease can not be eliminated--it can, but it generates a sense of fear
and vulnerability, which exacerbates the illness or dis-ease. This is
the very reason the quick fixes for symptoms are the staple for
Traditional Western Medicine (TWM)
Given the proper support and adequate care, the body can heal itself.
As Louise Hay says in her book, Heal Your Body, "...no matter how dire
their predicament seems to be, I KNOW if they are WILLING to do the
mental work of releasing and forgiving, almost anything can be healed.
The word 'incurable,' which is so frightening to so many people,
really only means that the particular condition cannot be cured by
'outer' methods and that we must GO WITHIN to effect the healing. The
condition came from nothing and will go back to nothing."
Deepak Chopra, MD stated in his book, "The Book of Secrets' that "the
human body runs on dual controls. If you heal it from the outside by
material means, it will respond. If you heal it from the inside by
subjective means, it will also respond..." Arthur Miller stated, "I
think one must finally take one's life into one's arms."
Holistic Healthcare practitioners are dedicated to empower you to find
nurturing links to your health and wellness.
In modern psychotherapy we treat symptoms because symptoms can be
quantified and identified, or so it is claimed by traditional modern
medical and psychiatric practices.
Thus Emotional Pain is described in terms of symptoms'Depression,
Anger, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Self-Esteem issues, Mood Swings,
Compulsive Behavior, Chronic and Acute Fear, Self-Injury, Suicidal
Thoughts, Shame, Guilt, Eating Disorders, or Addictions) does not heal
itself. Time, marriages, children, success, wealth, buying a bigger
house, or faster car, changing jobs or relocating will not CURE it.
The damage is sometimes very deep, pervasive and profound. It is a
soul injury. The person has been robbed of his or her integrity, core
identity and trust.
Emotional, Physical or Sexual trauma in childhood is 'violence' that
does not require force. The child is thrown into a 'state of shock.'
For some the memories remain conscious, while others drive them
beneath the conscious level. The coping mechanisms the child used are
carried into adulthood and impact the person's life on every
level'Emotional, Physical, Mental, Behavioral, Spiritual, Sexual and
Relationships. While these coping mechanisms were appropriate then,
they are a 'problem' in adulthood.
Traditional mental health professionals ask: "What is wrong with you?"
or "What happened to you?" Asking, "What is wrong with you?" or "What
happened to you?" implies blame, sickness and fault. Asking, "What did
you experience growing up?" 'allows the person to begin the process of
discovering the source of their pain and healing the wounds.
Traditional psychotherapy/psychoanalysis neglects the fact that we
feel, sense, and experience global political mass consciousness, as
well as our individual consciousness, like never before. A Mind, Body,
Spirit approach addresses all three, therefore opening the door to
true balance and healing.
Well-being comes from the understanding of the Self, the family, the
local community in which we live, and the global community of which we
are part. We are each one heart of the Whole; each heart here to
express its unique piece of the Whole. Knowing Self creates a sense of
"I as a piece of this Whole," different and one at the same time. The
process of understanding the Self, the family, the local community and
the global community has its foundation rooted in metaphysics.
Metaphysics is the science, which investigates first causes of all
existence and knowledge. It seeks to explain the nature of being, the
origin and structure of the world, in relationship between the
ethereal and the physical. Metaphysics holds that the soul or spirit
and the physical body are one yet separate; here the applied
psychology of religion comes to bear. The metaphysician's teachings
help soothe the emotional and physical problems of youth and maturity,
illness and death. Herein, a transformational process occurs between
the work of the Facilitator and that of the individual. Because the
metaphysician or doctor of metaphysics can serve as both a facilitator
as well as a source of spiritual comfort, he or she espouses universal
spirituality through holistic health.
Metaphysical Healing a.k.a. Transpersonal Healing is the process of
reconnecting the person with their inner being. Reconnecting can be
achieved through meditation, introspection and over time accessing our
inner self, however, few people have the discipline, inclination or
know how to affect this process. Therefore, employing the help of a
professional who practices Mind, Body Spirit Healing/Transpersonal
Healing will quickly establish the foundation for empowerment, self-
esteem, peace of mind and on-going spiritual and emotional growth.
