The literal meaning of ‘healing’ is a return to wholeness. We may know this, but how many of us really consider what this means when we are dealing with illness? Connection is important on many levels: internally – our cells and body systems must speak to one another for health; externally – we are meant to live harmoniously and in communication with other living beings; and globally – our collective strength is required for the wellbeing of our planet and all who inhabit it. However, there is another form of connection, one often overlooked, that is essential for us to fully embrace our wholeness and healing, this is our connection to spirit.
