A Word about Healing
The word heal comes from the old English word haelan meaning ‘to make whole and well’. Some common synonyms for heal are ‘restore, repair, renew, revivify, regenerate, rejuvenate, mend, pull through, improve or get better.’ These are all very familiar concepts so it is easy to overlook one’s own inherent responsibility in healing. The word heal is a verb. Verbs imply ‘action,’ even if the action is ‘passive.’ We’re not suggesting that you “do” healing or “work” yourself into a ‘healed’ condition. We are recommending that in addition to your treatment, you prepare your body and tend to it with proper rest, exercise and nutrition. Eat well, rest well, live well.
