Spiritual Aspects of Healing

This article discusses the spiritual aspects of healing and how they can be used to expand our awareness and access a wider range of options for healing both our mental state and our bodies.

The author argues that spiritual experience is non-verbal and comes in the form of a “felt-sense” or “inner knowing.” However, it is still valuable to do some hard thinking about our aims and to clarify the major principles and terms involved in spiritual work.
