=What Is Healing?=
It is opening and receptivity to the divine influence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/doctors-and-medicines#p11 </ref>
It is what we experience in the process of identifying and connecting to the divine consciousness. In bodies, it may be manifested as a very great mental or vital power that imposes itself through the resistance of Matter. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/08/july-12-1967#p23 </ref>
Healing within the body, through drugs often cures the body but only if their physical attack on the disease is supported by the force of the spirit; if that force can be made to work freely, drugs are superfluous. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/10/aphorism-404-405-406-407#p3 </ref>
==What Impedes Healing?==
===Disharmony===
An illness of the body is always the outer expression and translation of a disorder, a disharmony in the inner being; unless this inner disorder is healed, the outer cure cannot be total and permanent.

===Ego===
Healing requires integration. Our first division is created by our ego...which divides us from all other beings as not-self and ties us to our ego-centricity and the law of an egoistic self affirmation.

===Dependence on Others===
Seeking support from elsewhere than in the Divine is often accompanied by hurt. Never seek the satisfaction of your needs in anyone else except the Divine—never, for anything at all. All your weaknesses can be borne and healed only by the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/5-may-1951#p16</ref>
