Love Heals

The past little bit I have gotten to continue my listening of The Science of Natural Healing taught by Mimi Guarneri, M.D. through the Teaching Company.  I have been learning so much!  She has explained the effects of stress on the body.  Did you know that they have done studies and found that people under stress actually heal more slowly?  She also explains the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and how to reset them by breathing, meditation and other ways.  She also talks about the effect of relationships and how much better people do when they feel loved and accepted.  I really like her approach of taking people where they are and helping them there, not condemning them, but really helping them and looking at her work as a service.  She talks about breathing, feeling love and joy, letting go of anger, accepting and forgiving people, energy, yoga, meditation, mantras, prayer, spirituality, relationships, support and love.  I have learned so much so far and a lot of things are making more sense to me.  My health journey is making a lot more sense, and I'm gaining a greater understanding and balance I feel.  Love really does heal, and this quote she quoted especially stuck out to me: 

The I in illness is isolation, and the crucial letters in wellness are we.

So again, love really matters, love really makes a difference.  It is that love that will change the world.   

Now I understand better what Moroni was saying and Paul for that matter:

1 Corinthians 13:4-13

New International Version (NIV)

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Moroni 7:45

 45 And ^acharity suffereth long, and is ^bkind, and ^cenvieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily ^dprovoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
