Inner Truth: Health and Spirituality

The quest for health is universal -- everyone wants it.  And current research shows that spirituality plays an important role in establishing true health.  

Health is much more than a material body that is free from disease.  The World Health Organization defines it as “complete physical, mental and social wellbeing”.  

I’m learning that this complete wellbeing is “the absolute consciousness of harmony, and of nothing else” as explained by spiritual healer Mary Baker Eddy. It is a state of thought, a consciousness of harmony that stems from an awareness of God’s loving presence.  And the power of that presence to maintain harmony.  

It is the spiritual practice of stillness and prayer that enables me to become conscious of harmony, conscious that all is indeed well in the divine presence. Then physical or mental discord has no room in my thought.  This helped me find instantaneous and permanent relief from severe back pain years ago.  It continues to help me stay healthy.

Spirituality is indeed good for health – that’s been my experience.
