The Self Is the Worst Enemy in Self-Healing

The Self Is the Worst Enemy in Self-Healing

When it comes to self-healing, the self is often the worst enemy. Self-healing is holistic healing. It is a healing process by which health is restored in the most natural way without the use of conventional medicine, especially the use of dangerus drugs, throughout the entire healing process. The body has a built-in mechanism with natural resources to enable natural self-healing from any type of disease or illness. But that healing process has to be "whole," not just "parts of a whole." Interestingly, in India, yoga is considered a science -- the "ultimate remedy for all ailments of existential life." The reason is that for thousands of years, the Eastern culture has regarded yoga as a total therapy of personality. In other words, to cure human sickness, one has to address not just the physical, but also the mental, the moral, the intellectual, and the spiritual aspects as well -- in other words, the "whole" self. But the self is often the stumbling block to self-healing; indeed, the self is often the worst enemy in self-healing. Ironically enough, many of us may not want to be healed. Some of us may be psychosomatic: we "think" we are sick, and thinking can make it "real" -- just like a self-fulfilling prophecy; some of us may even use our "sickness" to seek and solicit attention and care from others, especially our loved ones. Therefore, having the intent to heal is the first criteria for self-healing. There must be a deep desire to be healed, without which the healing process will never take place. To live well, life must have a purpose, and to be healed is an important driving force in life to achieve that goal. Unfortunately, many of us do not show any intent for self-healing due to a lack of purpose in life. It is human nature to accept many different concepts, precepts, and beliefs. To change all these requires transformation of the self in terms of mindset, attitudes, and open-mindedness. That may not be an easy endeavor for many. There is so much hype about the efficacy of modern medicine and the potency of pharmaceutical drugs that sef-healing may seem more of a myth than a reality. In addition, the journey of self-healing may be long and difficult. As a result, many people would prefer to trust their doctors and dangerous drugs rather than their own bodies. But nobody -- not even your doctor -- knows your body better than yourself, just as Hippocrates, the father of medicine, once said: "No man is a better physician than himself, who knows his own constitution." So, for self-healing to take place, you must know your own body -- what it needs, and how it reacts to different conditions. If you reply solely on your doctors and their dangerous drugs, you have abandoned any opportunity for self-healing. In other words, you have forfeited your birthright to natural healing.Self-healing is a slow, natural process that cannot be rushed. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, also said: "Healing is a matter of time, but it is also a matter of opportunity." Give your body that opportunity to heal by itself, instead of using dangerous drugs aimed at removing symptoms right away -- which often interfere with the self-healing mechanism in your body. Unfortunately, many of us have the quick-fix mentality, and taking dangerous drugs seems to be a natural course for them. A drug may remove the symptoms, but it inhibits the natural self-healing process of the body. Fear and self-doubt in the self may also prevent self-healing. We are afraid of the unknown or the outcome of the self-healing process, we fear to step out of the comfort zone, and we doubt our own capability in self-healing. To conclude, self-healing begins with the mind. It is always mind over matter. Use the mind to overcome the self in order to embark on the journey of self-healing --- as the famous Chinese philospher said: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first stel." Take that first step and be healed without dangerous drugs.
