Pythagoras said that the most divine art was that of healing. And if the healing art is most divine, it must occupy itself with the soul as well as with the body: for no creature can be sound so long as the higher part in it is sickly.

Apollonius of Tyana

Foreword

DOLORES KRIEGER, PH.D., R.N.

Healing is a mystery that does not easily yield to the casually worded question. True healing elicits response from depths of the human condition that are not well understood in our time. Its enactment draws power from personal commitments that are foreign to our daily tacit acceptance of aggression and competition as a way of life. Rather, healing aligns with life-affirming forces such as compassion and humane support.

At the healer-healee interface a curious paradox undergirds the mystery: It is not that a the healer is healing b the healee but rather that both are expressions of a unified therapeutic interaction. In the process both are mutually healed, made whole and at-one. In a moment of clear vision we then may realize that as healers we have opted for nothing less than a self-to-self relationship. Therefore, we need no longer feel shy at the mention of such concepts as the spiritual aspects of healing, for healing naturally encompasses the entire spectrum of the human condition, if we will but lend our full consciousness to it.

The questions we could ask of healing are manifold: What is healing? What are its delimitations? With what kinds of illnesses is it most effective? How can we recognize those who have high potential for healing others? Are there valid bases for determining the best coupling of healer and healee? Finally, one must wonder how an ability we understand so poorly can be so selective as to inhibit the growth of tissues in malignancies and yet stimulate the growth of tissues in wound healing.

We are left with the conclusion that, yes, healing is an enigma However, if we will we can indeed plumb its depth to the extent that we are willing to know our selves on its own terms. Such is the quest upon which this book focuses. It is only you, the reader, who can attest to its resolution.
