  The mental Consciousness likes to make black-and-white
• 0:04
  decisions. Thus it tends to set up our
• 0:07
  positions between Reliance on the spiritual Force for healing,
• 0:12
  and the use of physical means such as medicines or other
• 0:15
  medical interventions. When we recognize, however, the
• 0:20
  complexity of the human instrument and the variable rate
• 0:23
  at which the different parts of the being open with receptivity
• 0:27
  to a higher spiritual Force. Are able to assimilate it.
• 0:32
  It becomes clear that taking a dogmatic approach is not
• 0:36
  productive. There are times and moments when
• 0:40
  the receptivity brings a force into action.
• 0:44
  There are other times and moments, when the body is unable
• 0:47
  to assimilate and utilize the force directly and need some
• 0:51
  kind of physical symbol or substance to help it focus, and
• 0:56
  achieve the energetic response to the healing force.
• 0:59
  It needs to overcome the manifestation of illness or
• 1:03
  weakness. The persistent effort eventually
• 1:07
  can bring about a new relationship that allows the
• 1:11
  body to heal and maintain its health and balance without any
• 1:15
  longer, requiring, the physical support of Medicine.
• 1:21
  Until that time, the practitioner needs to recognize
• 1:24
  both the complexity and the varying stages of Readiness of
• 1:28
  the human instrument. There are numerous examples of
• 1:35
  Yogi's who have exhibited various powers of healing and
• 1:39
  control over the. Well, north of the body SRI
• 1:45
  aurobindo has related to specific instances within his
• 1:48
  own experience. As have also Paramount,
• 1:51
  Yogananda and others energetic. Healing also shows the ability
• 1:56
  of the body to respond to forces other than physical medicines.
• 2:01
  Homeopathy works on a subtle, physical level practices such as
• 2:07
  Reiki. Also rely on channeling, a
• 2:10
  Divine Force to facilitate healing these represent, some of
• 2:15
  the wide variety of approaches as we experiment with making the
• 2:18
  body receptive and opening it to Healing forces that do not rely
• 2:24
  on physical means SRI, aurobindo writes quote.
• 2:28
  It is very good. If one can Rid of illness
• 2:32
  entirely by faith and yoga power, or the influx of the
• 2:36
  Divine Force. But very often this is not
• 2:39
  altogether possible because the whole nature is not open or able
• 2:45
  to respond to the force, the Mind may have faith and respond,
• 2:51
  but the lower vital in the body may not follow.
• 2:54
  Or if the mind and vital already, the mock body may not
• 2:58
  respond or May respond only partially.
• 3:01
  No, because it has the habit of replying to the forces, which
• 3:05
  produce a particular illness. And habit is a very obstinate
• 3:11
  force in the material part of the nature.
• 3:14
  In such cases, the use of the physical means can be resorted
• 3:18
  to not as the main means, but as a help or material support to
• 3:23
  the action of the force, not strong and violent remedies, but
• 3:28
  those that are beneficial without disturbing the Certainly
• 3:34
  one can act from within on an illness and cure it only it is
• 3:38
  not always easy as there is much resistance in matter, resistance
• 3:42
  of inertia and in untiring. Persistence is necessary.
• 3:48
  At first, one may fail altogether or the symptoms
• 3:51
  increase, but gradually the control of the body or of a
• 3:55
  particular illness become stronger.
• 3:58
  Again to cure an occasional attack of illness.
• 4:01
  By Inner means is comparatively easy to make the body immune
• 4:06
  from it. In future is more difficult.
• 4:10
  A chronic malady is harder to deal with more reluctant to
• 4:14
  disappear entirely than an occasional disturbance of the
• 4:18
  body. So long as the controlled, the
• 4:21
  body is imperfect, there are all these and other imperfections
• 4:26
  and difficulties. In the use of the inner Force.
• 4:32
  If you can succeed by the interaction preventing increase,
• 4:36
  even that is something you have then by a Piazza to strengthen
• 4:41
  the power until it becomes able to cure know that.
• 4:45
  So long as the power is not entirely there.
• 4:48
  Some Aid of physical means need not be altogether rejected and
• 4:53

• 4:59
  yoga approach to psychological health.

  And growth disturbances of the body, and physical
