When the patient becomes an active partner in healing with their doctor, powerful inner resources work with those treatments and they are better received.
Creating an inner healing environment is totally the patient’s responsibility, but it seems to be replaced by looking to outer resources for the solution to their problem.
If the patient really accepted their inner resources, their participation could make the doctor’s treatments more effective. The fact is healing is directly influenced by the inner environment of the patient and only the patient controls that.
When the patient accepts that power, they will be forced to act as an equal partner with the doctor. They will take even the casual expressions of the mind seriously and will strive to create the most optimal inner healing environment.
Their feelings significantly affect their inner environment and though they may not be the cause of healing, it affects the way they respond to medication and their doctor’s treatment. If the inner environment affects healing only 10%, why wouldn’t you do everything you can to heal?
That question is easily answered on the level of everyday thinking, but the real answer comes from a depth where actions speak louder than words. That depth is where the Wisdom of the Body responds to your illness without the complexity of thinking.
When we can enter that depth with complete respect for the power we have… we can surrender to the Wisdom of our Body without our thoughts limiting our participation.
