A few months ago I read the book "The test of heaven, " by Eben Alexander, which deals with the experience of an eminent neurosurgeon who prioritized medicine over spirituality, until he suffered a serious illness and spent a week in a vegetative state. A man who, devoted to science, had tried to understand the connections between the human brain and consciousness. But after his near-death experience, his vision of life changed markedly.
I had read other stories of people with similar experiences but being starred by a notable medical professional, with 25 years of clinical practice, I was very curious and several fragments of his book caught my attention: “On my trip I did not discover only love, but also who we are and the profound extent to which we are connected, that is, the true meaning of all existence ”; "... that all of us - each one of us - are intimately and inextricably connected to that greater universe", "... that the power of faith is of crucial importance to facilitate the triumph of the mind over matter."
It is not necessary to go through an experience near death to feel close to Love and to enter into spirituality. These deductions may well apply in the here and now. Many people have already lived the experience of awakening at the level of consciousness.
When it comes to health, how to apply these fragments to be healthy?
Some healing ideas can help illuminate thinking in each situation, open up to the spiritual and naturally lead us to what is beneficial:
- Discard fear, even if you always pretend to seem real, it never is.
- Starting from the premise of knowing who we are, feeling part of the whole Love.
- Recognize the true spiritual essence of each and the connection with the infinite source of good, the supreme reality.
- Be confident that all difficulties will be overcome.
Knowing that you already have all the potential for the best and a healthy and cheerful mental attitude, allow you to enjoy good health. Dr. Alexander was able to verify recently the influence of attitude and awareness on health and how consciousness is not in the physical brain, but Mary Baker Eddy, an American writer and healer, discovered that relationship much earlier by affirming in her best seller, Science and Health, that consciousness builds a better body when one stops having faith in matter.
This reality transcends all the material by considering that there is more than one physical cause and physical effect, because consciousness is the link with the Divine, with the totality of Love and as a mental state, it is a natural quality of the person. Spiritualize it through daily prayer, wake up to health, well-being and be aware of the infinite power of omnipresent Love.
That Love is the only real thing that will never change, nor disappear, because it releases, reveals and heals. You can experience it here and now.
