definition
The principles of attitudinal healing, as inspired by "A Course in Miracles":
(1) Health is inner peace. Therefore, healing is letting go of fear. To make changing the body our goal is to fail to recognize that our single goal is peace of mind.
(2) The essence of being is love. Love cannot be hindered by what is merely physical. Therefore, the mind has no limits; nothing is impossible; and all disease is potentially reversible. And because love is eternal, death need not be viewed fearfully.
(3) Giving is receiving. When our attention is on giving and joining with others, fear is removed and we accept the healing for ourselves.
(4) All minds are joined. Therefore, all healing is self-healing. Our inner peace will of itself pass to others once we accept it for ourselves.
(5) Now is the only time there is. Pain, grief, depression, guilt, and other forms of fear disappear when the mind is focused in loving peace on this instant.
(6) Decisions are made by learning to listen to the preference for peace within us. There is no right or wrong behavior. The only meaningful choice is between fear and love.
(7) Forgiveness is the way to true health and happiness. By not judging, we release the past and let go of our fears of the future. In so doing, we come to see that everyone is our teacher and that every circumstance is an opportunity for growth in happiness, peace, and love.
