There is a difference between healing and curing. "Heal" comes from the same word as "health", "whole", and "holy" - the Anglo-Saxon word
"Haelen". Symptoms of a disease may be cured, yet injury persists, in the form of chronic pain - physical, emotional mental, and/or spiritual. After an
assault, tissue damage may be repaired, but the wound is still there. Also, healing can occur even though physical symptoms are too advanced to be repaired.
Our medical system - bio-medicine - is drawn from cadaver dissection, so we're used to thinking (for that and other cultural reasons) of the body as a machine, separate from our intelligence, self, and soul. Also, we're oriented towards disease management rather than health care. In doing healing work it is important to understand that our being is a dynamic, multi-layered process.
Body, mind, soul, spirit - these are one, transfused with life-energy ( Chi,
Prana, etc.) from the source of all life - and all are involved in healing.
When we "entrain" - join our energy to another's through intention and our hands - we open the energy of the person we're working with. The work allows any place within themselves that has been wounded and cut off to reconnect with that source through the agency of our mutual connection. The healer is like a midwife/guide, offering support to the healer within the person seeking healing.
