How can I begin spiritual healing?

William B. Salt II., MD

Gastroenterology

There are two main methods of spiritual healing. First, find and nurture some connection with a higher purpose in life, a sense that your life has meaning and value to yourself and others. Second, find and nurture some connection to a higher power in your life. Your higher purpose and higher power are united by an affirmative answer to the question, "Is what I am thinking, doing or saying going to lead me to greater love, kindness and compassion?" All spiritual healing leads to the fruit of greater love and acceptance -- of yourself and others.
