Healing is about coming to 'wholeness', emotionally, mentally, physically and of course spiritually. It is not just about the physical health of the body.
We are made constantly aware of our physical existence from the day we're born. We feed it, rest it, indulge it and look to satisfy our physical desires on a daily, moment to moment basis.
However, in focussing on the physical, we overlook the 'unseen' forces which rule so much of our lives. Our emotions, thoughts, beliefs, values and attitudes, conditioning of family, culture, religion and nation are constantly with us.
We're a composite of so many different aspects...from this current reality, this life we're living as well as from other unseen realities, from the 'past', from family, from our ancestral heritage, from projections/opinions about ourselves we have accepted from others.
When we experience 'trauma', pain, grief or suffering, we often leave behind a part of ourselves, reliving the trauma over and over again, like a memory frozen in time. We don't necessarily know about this aspect because we are not aware that we left behind this part of us and/or we don't even know we experienced a trauma. For a baby or child a traumatic experience or emotion may be seen as a minor incident by an adult. We even say to ourselves as adults 'I had a happy childhood' when it is quite likely your inner child is holding onto a hurt that seems insigificant to us as adults.
