Medicine has the job of curing the body, western medicine involves eliminating symptoms. Psychology treats the mind while healing is the crafting of a healthy lifestyle by eliminating the cause of suffering and disease and then creating a meaningful destiny.
Contemporary Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, with its incorporating of such modalities as Acceptance and Commitment theory and Mindfulness with derivations from the Buddhist beliefs looks at the importance of bringing meaningfulness to the table. So healing attends to the soul and the spirit as well.
We are learning from ancient cultures, like the Laika uncontaminated peoples in the indigenous cultures of South America. They believe that “the physical world lies within the realm of the mind, which rests within the domain of the soul, which is held within the folds of the spirit. Spirit is the wellspring from which everything else emerges: It is pure light.” -Dr Alberto Villoldo PH.D
The Laika understand that everything in the universe is made of light and that it forms and creates matter. To help you with this concept, think of light as bound very tightly in trees and stones, while in others its very fluid, such as in rivers or in sunlight.
Today, scientific discoveries confirm that when we look deeply into the heart of the matter at the most fundamental level, all we find is vibration and light.
So working directly with soul and spirit, we can bring change on all levels, including the body and mind. Find out more how cognitive behaviour therapy can help you, contact us now.
