One of the topics that has grown in interest for me has been the link between health and spirituality.
This is not so much about the obvious link between healthy body and healthy mind, but more about seeing one's general health as a gateway into understanding more deeply how the body works - and then the role of mind in the process of self-healing.
On the one hand, we have many doctors who are little more than drug dealers. If a patient is lucky, a diet of chemical toxins won't result in permanent damage. If lucky, a patient will eventually "give up" and admit that there is "no known cure". If really lucky, the treatment may even work as hoped.
On the other hand, many traditional healing modalities appear to offer benefits that mere allopathic interventions fail to address. Such "cures" often fly in the face of orthodox medicine and are dismissed by such vested interests as mere fantasies.
But fantasies also have power.
Thankfully, some researchers are looking beyond the above polarities and trying to fathom precisely where the powers of self-healing come from - and how each of us can generate them. It is this kind of cross-disciplinary research that I find interesting.
I shall be picking out both fascinating books in this area and any revealing articles.
I wish you good health!
