\"\"<\/a>In my journey of healing I return time and time again to the concept of how much of healing is\u00a0in\u00a0fact a\u00a0process.\u00a0\u00a0The healing I have experienced has never come\u00a0through\u00a0an act of a single “doing” or\u00a0“being”.\u00a0 It has not revealed itself simply through diet,\u00a0positive thought or my meditative practices.\u00a0 It\u00a0order to gain my full attention, it has required\u00a0my perspective on healing to\u00a0encompass\u00a0three central forces within myself.\u00a0 These central forces have been the body, mind and spirit.<\/p>\n

Healing is a “thoughtful” process, as anything else done with thought it takes care and attention.\u00a0 Its a methodology by which our bodies, minds and spirits take the time to re-engage in dialogue about oneself and careful assess what would be best to allow for ourselves to begin to move forward from a place of unease.\u00a0 Our bodies respond in a complete web of science and biology to address what ails us.\u00a0 Everyday our bodies work their hardest to return us to a state of homeostasis, to place us in balance.<\/p>\n

While this is occurring our minds look to find clues to our unfounded freedom.\u00a0 We ask ourselves and others questions.\u00a0 We seek out new remedies and find ourselves on a new path of learning.\u00a0 We begin a dialogue with words and ideas that were once foreign to us and use this new language in our everyday speech and internal conversations.\u00a0 We are in a way building upon what our bodies are physically working to accomplish by engaging our minds in our healing process.<\/p>\n

Our spirits find themselves longing for a place of respite.\u00a0 It reaches out to us as a calling to hold ourselves center and finds us looking for clues amongst our environment and the external world beyond what we can see to understand our dis-ease.\u00a0 We look to centers for wellness and their spiritual guides to create a womb, a matrix for our spirit to draw upon and gain strength for our physical bodies to continue on in its hard work and efforts.<\/p>\n

When our body, mind and spirit find themselves working together and aligned in their quest, we have created the opportunity for which to optimize our healing process.\u00a0 Sometimes we may take these in stages, focusing on one area at a time.\u00a0 For example, when we are in need of pain reduction, it is our bodies that we are seeking to quiet so that we can open ourselves to our mind and spirit.\u00a0 Each works as an extension of the other.<\/p>\n

So when you reflect on your healing process and find yourself speaking about it, consider the events in your life and how each of these central forces are playing a role in your journey.\u00a0 Perhaps you might use each day as a chance to reflect or give thanks to your mind, body and spirit for the efforts made and look forward to beginning again in the day to come.<\/p>\n

Share your thoughts on your healing central forces.<\/p>\n
