TREATING THE PERSON, NOT THE ILLNESS

"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases." -- Gary Craig, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Founder

The real primary diseases of man are such defects as pride, cruelty, hate, self-love, ignorance, instability and greed; and each of these, if considered, will be found to be adverse to Unity. Such defects as these are the real diseases (using the word in the modem sense), and it is a continuation and persistence in such defects after we have reached that stage of development when we know them to be wrong, which precipitates in the body the injurious results which we know as illness. --Edward Bach

If you would have good health then you must imagine this as vividly as you fearfully imagine ill health. Seth

Seth said that not only do we form our own reality now, but we will continue to do so after physical death, so it is of the utmost importance that we understand the connection between thought and reality. Jane Roberts

Immediately begin to live in the present as much as possible. Refuse to worry. When your thoughts do touch upon your particular problem in that present moment, imagine the best possible solution to the dilemma.
Seth

The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies

"The action of the flower essences raises the vibration of the being.... They cure by flooding the body with the beautiful vibrations of the highest nature - in whose presence there is the opportunity for disease to melt away like snow in sunshine" - Dr. Edward Bach The Twelve Healers Bach Remedies are sometimes classified into three groups- 'The Twelve Healers', 'The Seven Helpers' and 'The Second 19'. The Twelve Healers hold a special place among the 38 remedies as each of the 12 remedies correspond to a particular personality type. The Seven Helpers "Resignation to faults in our character, or resignation to faults in our bodily health may be overcome if the wish is there to do so, and the (seven) helpers get us over this stage and bring us into the range of the Twelve Healers. Of course, in all healing there must be a desire in the patient to get well. There are (seven) types of people who have lost hope, although they are not all conscious that they have done so; not conscious because, as has just been said, the abnormal state of mind or body is regarded both by themselves and by others as part of their character.".... "If the patient does not improve when what seems the right one of the Healers has been given, there are seven more remedies to prepare the way; because, when an illness has become old, it has become more established and may require help before it responds easily, so that the seven remedies for such cases are called the seven helpers." - Dr. Edward Bach The Second Nineteen "There is no doubt these new remedies act in a different plane to the old. They are more spiritualized and help us to develop that inner great self in all of us which has the power to overcome all fears, all difficulties, all worries, and all diseases." - Edward Bach, 1935 Today, disease and death control us ever more strongly with a litany of viruses, cancers, and heart disorders. The causes may be vaccinations, environmental poisons, despoliation of food, or pollution of the elementsearth, water and air. For Bach the cause was clear and it is clear today: It is only because we have forsaken Natures way for mans way that we have suffered, and we have only to return to be released from our trials. In the presence of the way of Nature disease has no power; all fear, all depression, all hopelessness can be set aside. There is no disease of itself which is incurable. Julian Barnard
