Healing

Stubborn mental or physical diseases always have a deep root in the subconsciousness. Illnessmay be cured by pulling out its hideen roots. That is why all affirmations of the conscious mind should be impressive enough to permeate the subconsciousness which in turn automatically influences the conscious mind. Strong conscious affirmations thus react on the mind and body through the medium of the subconscious. Still stronger affirmations reach not only the subconscious, but also the superconsicous mind -- the magic storehouse of miraculous powers -- Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, "Scientific Healing Affirmations'

We all have this tendency of thinking that we must have good health at all times. Our health is determined by our thought processeses and this is precisely what Paramahansa Yoganandaji is saying in the abovementioned quote. We are very eager to get healed or good health instanteneously however we forget that unless we are always in tune to the supreme consciousness or cosmic consciousness we cannot achieve it. When we are developing ourselves into being Self realized people it takes time for healing to happen. An moreover we have to have the attitude of complete surrender to the Almighty because only he directs everything. So doing our part of affirming good health in a strong manner without an element of doubt is essential. In the initial stages of our spiritual quest we always have doubts about the power of affirmations and being steadfast in it is the way ahead because in time your effort will see results. Paramahansa Yogananda put it very well stating that pain and pleasure is transitory and we have to endure the duality with belief and faith. God Bless every soul in this world, Amen
