The Significance Of Mind And Body Healing Techniques

By Marie Snow


A persons attitude, behaviors, and thoughts significantly impact the ability for their body to mend. The process of mending is positively influenced by the person who is receptive to change and is compliant with their therapy. These individuals are also open to mind and body healing techniques. They do not have a problem looking at their wounds or taking an active part in recovery process.

When a persons recover process stagnates, they are usually disconnected from their condition. These are typically individuals who believe that the medical practitioner is responsible for the recovery process. These people are not involved or interested in participating in the mending process. More importantly, the individual may not be capable of making changes to improve recovery because they feel powerless.

Some people have no hope of ever recovering, while there are others who use their situation to stay away from work or school. Other patients might fear a loss of attention. They do not want to recover because they will no longer be the center of attention for friends, family, or doctors.

It is important to recognize that mind and spirit play an essential part in the ability to heal. Typically there is a common pattern of thought among patients who do not heal. It is a challenge for the medical provider to understand the feelings, beliefs, and attitudes the patients has related to the wound.

Conventionally, medicine has always taken the position that curing is the removal of the symptoms. However, shifting the focus to treatment of the person instead of the condition, improves the chances of recovery. The healing versus curing debate has been ongoing among medical providers for many years.

When a medical practitioner supports mind and body healing techniques, the recovery process is achieved by patients. The patients desire to recover, and their active participation in the process plays a significant role in their recovery.
