Greater well-being is within reach

Spontaneous remission. Optimal health. Resilience. These words point to powerful states of well-being.
A person is diagnosed with an illness of the body or mind. The doctor recommends a suitable treatment. If the body responds, healing is apparent. If the body does not, the reduced state of health is apparent. While western medicine's ability to find a successful cure expands, it is the natural capacity to heal within that renders the cure effective.
To heal is inherent, a miraculous power given at birth. Whether a broken bone mends or cancer disappears, the body is in greater alignment with its true potential for well-being. Resurrecting it or merely getting out of its way, this state can be encouraged in many ways.
Approaches can focus directly on the physical self, having secondary effects emotionally and energetically. The facilitator can specialize in a branch of Western medicine, chiropractic care, neuromuscular massage, nutrition, or Bikram yoga, to name a few. No matter the path or how knowledgeable the guide, the leaps of awareness or steps to realign with true levels of well-being must be taken by the one in need of healing.
In his 1989 book titled, "Quantum Healing," Deepak Chopra, M.D., begins with the story of Chitra, a 32-year-old woman with advanced breast cancer. As she participates in the prescribed treatment, she experiences spontaneous remission, which he refers to as quantum healing. He has learned from spontaneous remission research each patient experiences a dramatic shift of "awareness" directly before the healing occurs. As in the case of Chitra, it can be deliberately fostered.
Another vital avenue to heal is to directly focus on unleashing the power of the mind. It has direct results physically, emotionally, and energetically. Common techniques are guided imagery, conscious intentions, and meditation. Each creates space for the mind to clear and the health within to flow freely throughout. Focusing on greater knowledge of the mind (what it is, how it clears and more) takes the participant to the next level.
Aligning knowledge with capability actually includes greater awareness of the three principles, mind, thought, consciousness, for they work in tandem. These three essential elements are the ability to experience the moment. Greater knowledge results in using them more properly moment to moment as well as intentional use of their more valuable features.
A good example is a job with many deadlines. This can typically be experienced as stressful. Through greater understanding as to the true origin of stress, one is better able to experience the deadlines in many other ways. This results in wreaking less havoc on the physical self, better job performance, and greater enjoyment of the job. Greater knowledge of these three powerful gifts also paves the way to become more aware from within of limiting habits, reducing access to health lying inside.
We are born with an unlimited capacity to heal. The key is greater awareness. Greater awareness is unlimited. One has the choice to set his or her gaze in this direction when life is demanding it, before life demanding it, or not at all. Moving to the next level can be more natural than you think.
