Changes

That's the one thing needed—important, very important: to keep the body in good health, in a sort of balance. We must keep our balance. Very important. The rest doesn't matter!<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/04/july-24-1963#p40</ref> ==Potent Thought and Will==What are  The potent thought and will of health replaces its faith in illness and its consent to illness, or the idea of strength calls in the substance, power, motion, vibration of strength; the idea generates the force and form proper to the idea and imposes it on our substance of mind, life or matter. It is in this way that the first working proceeds; it charges the Prerequisites?whole being with a new and superior consciousness, lays a foundation of change, prepares it for a superior truth of existence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-ascent-towards-supermind#p23</ref> ==Physical Aspiration== You may have a physical aspiration also; that the body may feel the need to acquire a kind of equipoise in which all the parts of the being will be well balanced, and that you may have the power to hold off illness at a distance or overcome it fast when it enters trickily, and that the body may always function normally, harmoniously, in perfect health. That is a physical aspiration. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/7-october-1953#p11</ref> ==Belief==

Health naturally depends upon If one believes in self-healing, one shall after a time find out the way to heal myself—if one hasfaith in transformation, one can end by laying the sadhanahand on and unravelling the whole process of transformation. But if one begins with doubt and go on with more doubt, how far am I likely to go on the journey? <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwsa/0128/julydoubt-6and-1958faith#p11p29</ref>

If one has the healing capacityWhat is not good is too much preoccupation with it, anxiety, despondency in illness etc., there is for these things only favour the capacity to remedy wear and tearprolongation of ill-health or weakness. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwsa/1131/marchillness-25and-1970health#p79p81</ref>

For All illness should be rejected and all suggestions of illness; the spiritual life Force should be called in to give and not to demand is the rule. The sadhak however can ask for cure by the Divine Force assent to aid him in keeping his health or recovering it if he does that as part of his sadhana so that his body may be able and fit for the spiritual life and a capable instrument for refusal of assent to the Divine Worksuggestions that bring or prolong its opposite. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2931/seekingillness-theand-divinehealth#p8p4</ref>

==How Does the Physical Healing Happen?True Knowledge==

It readily takes Knowledge, when it goes to the root of our troubles, has in all kinds of suggestions and these can rapidly change and almost remould its condition. Depression and discouragement have itself a very adverse effect; they cut out holes in it, marvellous healing-power as it were. As soon as you touch the quick of the trouble, in its very stuffas soon as you, render it weak diving down and unresisting and open down, get at what really ails you, the pain disappears as though by a miracle. Unflinching courage to hostile attacks an easy passagereach true knowledge is therefore the very essence of yoga. No lasting superstructure can be erected except on a solid basis of true Knowledge.<ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0331/16sentimentalism-sensitiveness-juneinstability-1929laxity#p11p10</ref>

===How to Deal Union with Pain?=Divine==

First point: do not stress It is only by emerging from the pain by telling yourself, "Oh, how painful! Oh, this pain is unbearable! Oh, it is being worse mind's prison and worse, I shall never be able to bear it", etc., all this sort consciously soaring into the light of thing. The more you go on thinking like this and feeling like this and the more your attention is concentrated on itspirit that, through a conscious union with the pain increases amazingly.Second point: as I saidDivine, it depends on your habits. If you know how to concentrate, to we will be quiet, you try to realise within yourself a state of peace or attempt able to enter into a conscious contact with a force of peace. Suppose you succeed more or less completely. Then, if you can draw let Him give us back the peace into yourself balance and bring it down into the solar plexus―for health which we are not talking of inner states but of your physical body―and from there direct it very calmly, very slowly I might say, but very persistently, towards the place where the pain is more or less sharp, and fix it there, this is very goodhave lost.But if by widening this movement you can add a sort of mental formation with a little life in it―if by my aspiration, my concentration, I can bring into the cells of the body the consciousness of this sole Reality, all disorder must necessarily cease… <ref>httpshttp://incarnateword.in/cwmagenda/0811/4march-july18-19561970#p12,p13,p14,p15,p16,p17,p18,p19,p20,p21,p22,p23,p24,p25,p26,p27,p28p10</ref>

==Useful PracticesPeace==

To separate If you know how to concentrate, to be quiet, and if you can bring into yourself from the thing a certain peace, of any kind―it may be a mental peace, it may be a vital peace, it may be a psychic peace; they have different values and call in the Mother's force qualities, this is an individual question―you try to cure it [is the Yogic method]—or else realise within yourself a state of peace or attempt to use your own will enter into a conscious contact with a force with faith in the power to heal, having the support of the Mother's force behind peace.... Suppose yousucceed more or less completely. If Then, if you cannot use either can draw the peace into yourself and bring it down into the solar plexus―for we are not talking of these methods then you must rely on inner states but of your physical body―and from there direct it very calmly, very slowly I might say, but very persistently, towards the action of place where the medicinepain is more or less sharp, and fix it there, this is very good. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3108/doctors4-andjuly-medicines1956#p3p14,p15,p16,p17,p18,p19,p20,p21,p22,p23,p24,p25,p26,p27,p28</ref>

To begin mental formation witha little life in it―not just cold, but with a little life in it―that the first condition: to remain as quiet as possible. You may notice that in only reality is the different parts of your beingdivine Reality, when something comes and you do not receive it, all the cells of this produces body are a shrinking—there more or less deformed expression of this divine Reality―there is something which hardens in only one Reality, the vitalDivine, the mind or the and our body. There is a stiffening and more or less deformed expression of this hurtssole Reality―if by my aspiration, one feels a mentalmy concentration, I can bring into the cells of the body the consciousness of this sole Reality, vital or physical painall disorder must necessarily cease.

===Through Faith=Mother’s Force==

It must be an integral faith To separate oneself from the thing and call in the Mother's force to cure it must be absolute. And it must be [''is the Yogic method'']—or else to use one’s own will force with faith in the power to heal, having the support of the right kind, not merely a Mother's force of mental thought or will, but something more and deeperbehind you. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0331/5doctors-mayand-1929medicines#p18p3</ref>

===Through Knowledge=Japa==

KnowledgeOne can pass from a more or less mechanical, more or less efficient and real japa, when it goes to the root true japa full of our troublespower and light. A power that heals everything. One can come out of it refreshed, rested, cured. So those who say they come out of it exhausted, contracted, emptied, has it means that they are not doing it in itself a marvellous healingthe true way.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/01/october-6-power as it were.

You can obtain a rhythm of movement and downgesture which is very exceptional. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/17-july-1957#p7, get at what really ails youp8,p9</ref> ===Will for Harmony=== We are ALWAYS off balance, the pain disappears as though by body is always off balance (more or less), and it is something else, above, a Will or a miracleConsciousness, that holds it up and makes it work. Unflinching courage to reach true knowledge So if we can call on that Will—that Will for Harmony—and if we can have the Flame within, that Flame of aspiration, and make contact, we emerge from so-called illness, which is therefore unreal, an unreal and false sensation and just one way of being of the very essence general Disorder, and we enter into Harmony, and then everything is fine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/06/july-10-1965#p6</ref> ==Receptivity== One cannot imagine the immense flood of yogaforce that is at your disposal! And generally you do not feel it even. No lasting superstructure can be erected except on When one feels it, something shrinks because it is too much and produces a solid basis kind of instinctive fear in your cells; and when one receives it, more than three-quarters of true Knowledgeit is thrown away like an overfilled vessel! It gushes out, spills over, because you are not able to hold it.<ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/1005/november16-29september-19691953#p47p29</ref>

===Through Formation==Future of the Body=

When one has a thoughtWhat it craves for is duration, health, strength, physical perfection, bodily happiness, liberation from suffering, ease. These demands are not in themselves unacceptable, mean or illegitimate, a well-made mental formation which goes out for they render into the terms of Matter the perfection of youform and substance, it becomes an independent entity the power and continues on its way and it does that for delight which it was madeshould be the natural outflowing, the expressive manifestation of the Spirit. It continues to When the gnostic Force can act independently. That is why one must in the body, these things can be established; for their opposites come from a pressure of external forces on the physical mind, on your guard. If one have made such a formation the nervous and it has gone outmaterial life, on the body organism, it has gone out from an ignorance that does not know how to do its work; and after a time one finds out that it was perhaps meet these forces or is not a very happy thing able to have a thought like thatmeet them rightly or with power, that this formation was not very beneficial; now that it has gone outand from some obscurity, it is very difficult for you to get hold pervading the stuff of it again. One must have considerable occult knowledge. It has gone out the physical consciousness and is moving on distorting its way… ===Through Sincerity responses, that reacts to them in a wrong way.
