Spiritual Healing

In continuing the celebration of Swami Kriyananda’s 100^th birth anniversary*, I wanted to share this talk by Swamiji titled: Secrets of Spiritual Healing  (September 1984) from Treasures Along the Path. It’s an insightful and profound talk by Swami Kriyananda where he dives deeply into what true healing really is.

Paramhansa Yogananda stated that: “Sickness is of our own creation. It results from ignorance, or in ignorantly or consciously breaking the physical, mental, and Spiritual laws of our being.”

 He goes on to say that spiritual disease manifests in lack of Soul peace, restlessness, discontentment, unbalance, inharmony, unwillingness to meditate or putting off meditation, unkindness, unforgiveness, melancholia, bigotry, lack of introspection, and lack of self-analysis.

In Yogananda’s healing prayer technique, the “Divine Mother prayer” is used:

 Divine Mother, Thou art omnipresent. Thou art in all Thy children. Thou art in (the name of the person). Manifest Thy healing presence in his body, mind and soul.

We then send healing energy to the person’s body, mind and soul addressing all levels of need: physical, mental-emotional, and spiritual.

Most times, when the prayer network receives a prayer request for someone, it is for a physical or mental-emotional concern. But whatever physical or mental ailments a person may have, Divine Spirit knows that true healing is ultimately spiritual.

Paramhansa Yogananda stated that the most important kind of healing was the “dispelling of soul ignorance”.  It happens when we awaken to the remembrance that we are a part of all there is, and that we are all one in that Light and Joy.
