The Essence of Self-Healing to Treat 'Modern People's Illnesses'

Completely heals the pain of body and mind
Presenting a new paradigm

Healing and Recovery, by Dr. David Hawkins, a psychiatrist and world-renowned spiritual leader, has been published by Panmidong.
Based on lectures given at the request of various addiction and disease treatment groups and clinicians, this book marks a significant milestone, following 『Consciousness Revolution』, which announced the beginning of an innovative paradigm of 'scientization of consciousness research', and 『Letting Go』, the last work that contains the essence of the theory of consciousness that he pursued throughout his life.
In this book, Dr. Hawkins presents a new paradigm for complete healing by integrating the physical aspects of illness observed over the past 50 years as an internist, the psychological factors of suffering understood as a psychiatrist, and the spiritual realizations experienced while studying issues of consciousness and the soul.
In addition, it provides easy and clear self-healing methods to solve common problems faced by modern people such as stress, depression, anxiety, cancer, aging, obesity, various addictions, and diseases without relying on drugs, surgery, or counseling.
This book, a significant challenge to the conventional approaches of modern medicine, analyzes the root causes of human suffering from a fresh perspective and offers practical advice and guidance to help you completely overcome all ailments of body and mind.

What is in your mind affects your body.
If you want to know what's in your mind, look inside your body and observe its behavior.
Then you can know what you believe.--- p.48

When you let go of all negativity and replace lower-level negative energy with positive energy, you begin to experience the world, yourself, and your relationship with life differently.
Experience inner joy by willingly letting go of blame for yourself and others.
Then, this becomes established as an attitude or habit for living in the world.
The intention to be a source of healing for oneself and others becomes a context.
(……) In other words, an actual change in perception occurs.
As a result, you actually begin to see the world through eyes of forgiveness, healing, and compassion.
The compassion we are talking about here is not a low-energy level of sympathy.
Love means an inner determination to look at oneself and others with eyes of healing and compassion. --- p.64

Health issues are of concern to many people.
As an internist, psychiatrist, and researcher exploring spiritual issues, I have also focused on the areas of health and self-healing.
A very important fact about the relationship between body, mind, and soul is that the body cannot experience itself.
The body is experienced only in the mind.
The body expresses what is in the mind.
And the mind cannot experience itself.
It is only experienced through the larger energy field of consciousness. --- p.112

Stress occurs when external forces exert influence on our lives.
It comes from an attitude of seeing oneself as a victim and looking outside for the source of happiness, and an attitude of denying the power of one's own mind.
Healing begins with re-embracing the power of your own mind and recognizing that you are the one who creates the meaning of any environment, event, place, position, situation, work, or person.
It is we who create the meaning of these things, our position, and our way of receiving them.
Depending on our attitude, these can be a source of happiness or a source of illness.
It is we who determine the outcome. --- p.135~136

In the midst of these heartbreaking events that bring about enormous catastrophe, what we must deal with is, surprisingly, the energy of emotion itself.
When we look closely at the experience of catastrophe, we see that it is not what happened or what we think happened in the world that is the problem, but how we feel about it.
Who cares about facts? Facts themselves have no meaning.
It is the emotional response surrounding the facts that matters.
A fact is just a fact and is nothing.
So, what we really need to deal with when it comes to life events is how we feel about the facts. --- p.243

The way to lose weight should be simple, accurate, effective, fast, sustainable, and cost-free.
In the long run, diets don't work.
Because typical diets often lead to feelings of guilt and self-blame.
Sure, it may work, but it's only temporary.
No matter how strong your intentions, you can't truly change how you perceive your body unless you change the conditioned reflexes that ultimately lead you to eat.
Changes in state of consciousness are also reflected in eating habits.
And we can easily overcome the state of consciousness so that we can lose weight without gaining it again later.
Let go of the willpower, let go of dieting, and let go of resistance to eating. --- p.349

There is a difference between treating, curing, and healing.
It is possible to treat the disease and its symptoms to improve the condition or to improve the ability to live with the disease.
As I mentioned before, I have suffered from migraines, duodenal ulcers, gout, hypoglycemia, circulatory problems, Raynaud's disease, Graves' disease, and diverticulitis for many years.
All these illnesses were a result of my belief system and were accompanied by a certain amount of unconscious guilt.
Research has found that any illness is accompanied by unconscious guilt.
Therefore, it would not be wrong to assume that if you have a physical illness, you have an unconscious sense of guilt.
If there were no unconscious guilt, these diseases would not have arisen.
Because only destructive things that involve self-loathing can operate in a negative energy field.
Right here lies the secret to healing.
