An Interesting Spiritual Healing Fact
Faith Healing In The Christian Religion
Faith healing is a phrase that some Christians use who believes that God physically heals people through the power of the Holy Spirit. This involves "laying on hands" and intercessory prayer. Faith healing is often spoken of in other terms in the Christian world. The Catholic Church believes healing occurs because of intercessory prayer of a saint or a person that has the gift of healing.

Mantras and Spiritual Healing
Studies have been conducted to find out if mantras are an important part of spiritual healing. Those who used a word or short phrase they were comfortable with to meditate and help the body to relax. Catholics were asked to use "Hail Mary", Jews used "Shalom" and Protestants used the first line of the Lord's Prayer. Although there is no magic in saying a few words it did work well relaxing the body and stimulating healthy physiological changes in the body. The Doctor who conducted the study had others use one word or phrase without spiritual meaning. They found that those who people did not stick with the program by using mantras without meaning. Those who used spiritual words did stick with the program because of their deep belief in a Higher Power. It has been proven that mantras will only work if the person has an unqualified faith in their God. They will have a spiritual commitment, devotion, and deep faith in their spiritual life. A deep spirituality may be necessary before a person can receive the full benefits of a spiritual healing.
Spiritual belief and healing is a benefit that will transform your life. The most important change is the person will have a deep personal spiritual commitment to their God. They have a transformed life and this growth in spirituality will affect the whole being, body, mind, and spirit. This gives the person an unshakable trust and faith that scientists call "intrinsic belief."
People who experience a spiritual awakening have received major turnarounds in their emotional and physical health. A faith in God gave them hope, courage, and faith as they follow through with emotional and physical healing. They are given a deep sense they are not alone in the universe and they have a resource for guidance and support. They know beyond a shadow of a doubt there is guidance and support during dark times of discouragement and confusion.
Developing the spiritual part of the human nature can result in peace, joy, and emotional stability. God can give the moral courage it takes to follow through a difficult recovery program or rehabilitation from a serious injury. The 12 Step Programs rely heavily on prayer and dependence on a Higher Power and that has given many people the courage to kick addictions, stop drinking, and other personal problems. These programs often address the person with the addiction, the family members, and those who might have been children of alcoholics or drug addicts. The 12-Step program has successfully been used to treat those who were obese and unable to lose weight in other ways.
Spiritual healing does not depend on a mantra, but spiritual mantras can help a person to be calm, reduce anxiety, and allow positive feelings to flow through and heal their body and spirit. The Eastern religions have used mantras to help calm the body and spirit to promote relaxation and allow for meaningful prayer and meditation. They find they are more relaxed and have less stress after achieving a spiritual peace. |
