The Importance Of Spiritual Healing

1310 Words6 Pages

Reason for choosing this particular therapy
Spiritual healing has been criticized for many years by doctors and scientists that hold a more secular approach to treating human conditions. The reason I chose this therapy is because of the large speculation that surrounds the natural healing process that spiritual healing adopts. The importance of this therapy has been noted in the last few years and this hands on approach is growing on a global scale and “spirituality is commanding more attention as modern scientific medical theory and practice are called into question” (Health and Healing, 2011). Many people have a negative view about spiritual healing as it seems unconventional and embodied in religion, which is a touchy subject for many.

Upon meeting the therapist, Karin Ritchie, I immediately felt her warm and accepting nature in the way she greeted me. The interview was conducted in a garden that was very relaxing and open which felt like an escape from the busy lifestyle we most of us experience on a daily basis. This state of serenity that I was surrounded by was very distinct and unique to anything I had previously experienced, which made this encounter something special.
Before I observed this particular practice, I was able to discover what Kundalini was about by questioning Karin Ritchie. Before discovering Kundalini, Karin was an endurance athlete and after sustaining a serious knee injury, began her search for a new passion. Karin states that the purpose of Kundalini is to create a sense of healing, balance, and connection with one’s mind, body, and soul. I had always thought of yoga as something that promoted physical well-being, however, as Karin explained, Kundalini is a form of yoga that creates a sense of awareness throughout the body and promotes physical and mental …show more content…

At the beginning of the treatment, Kayleigh felt a rush of emotions and thereafter a sense of serenity. After the treatment where a period of relaxation occurs, Kayleigh began feeling extremely emotional and then began to cry uncontrollably. This made her feel as if all the built up tension and negative energy was pouring out of her body that had been the cause of her suffering lately. After receiving the treatment, all the doubts Kayleigh had were removed and she had found the solution to her problems.
When asked to state what they understood of health and illness, the following answers were given:
Karin – “Health and illness originate from within the body. As long as you keep your body, mind and soul aligned, illness will be unable to exist.” What this means is that if a person constantly remains in control of their body, they will be healthy. As soon as we lose contact with ourselves, we are more susceptible to contracting illnesses.
Kayleigh – “Health is about accepting who you are and then being able to love yourself. Once we love who we are, then you are able to fully love your body and treat it with that love. We do this by nurturing it with healthy foods and sufficient exercise in order for our body to thrive and remain healthy”. “Illness is something that occurs when our body becomes vulnerable to infection. This may result from neglecting our bodies or by storing

It ignored a ‘mind-body connection’. Health however, is not simply limited to biology. “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not simply the absence of disease or infirmity” as defined by the World Health Organisation. The biopsychosocial model is an absolute necessity for clinical practice - it allows physicians to treat people who have diseases and not just the diseases people have. This will give us the ability to understand people beyond their biological functioning and to view human health in its fullest context.

In short, the biological model of health is mainly defined from the absence of disease, from the model that is well-matched with positive meanings in relation to balance of normal functioning. The social model health is actually a positive state of well-being and wholeness linked with however this is not mainly explained from the non-existence of disease, physical, mental impairment and illness (Gross, 2010). Overall the concepts of ill health and health are not balanced. Non-existences of disease might be part of health, however health is considered more than the “absence of disease”.

According to Smith (2011), Margaret Newman’s Health as Expanding Consciousness Theory of 1978 asserts that “every person in every situation, no matter how disordered and hopeless it seems, is part of the universal process of expanding consciousness. This is a process of becoming more of oneself, of finding greater meaning in life, and of reaching new dimensions of connectedness with other people, as well as the world.” Newman’s grand nursing theory stated that people with or without chronic conditions could be labeled as healthy, and that having a disease does not necessarily make an individual unhealthy (1986). According to Newman (1986), disease is a manifestation of people’s patterns. These patterns include our genetic makeup, bodily changes,

Human beings influence each other in deep ways; the therapists who have worked on themselves have a field around themselves that has a profound impact on the client. In Sanskrit, the term used to depict a state of well-being or good health is swastha, which means rooted in the self. Hence, if the therapist experiences a state of well-being and radiates an aura of healthiness, it has a healing impact on the client. Health is traditionally defined as a state of perfect balance and healing is that which brings about this kind of balance once again (William McGrey, 1964).The therapist who has worked through his own crisis and has reestablished a state of balance understands the process of inner healing, and this understanding is conveyed to the

Omadjohwoefe (2010:36) maintains that ill health is a life threatening experience to the sufferer and also the society as a whole. The moment an illness takes over, the patient is left with no choice but to seek assistance from physicians and others to help her get better (Omadjohwoefe, 2010:36). Yet, the extent to which the sick person seeks medical assistance is a response to his or her illness behaviour (Omadjohwoefe, 2010:36). Omadjohwoefe (2010:36) define illness behaviours as “the way in which symptoms are perceived, evaluated, and acted upon by a person who recognizes pains, discomfort and other signs of organic malfunction” In other words, the reaction to symptoms, use of lay referrals and compliance with health professional’s advice
