Love Heals Your Heart
We now enter into the realm of religious belief. I will include
Buddhism; although I do not believe it is a religion but more of a
philosophy; however the philosophy of Love and Healing in Buddhism is
very similar to that of the world's major religions. Buddhism teaches
love as one of the four immeasurables along with compassion, joy and
equanimity. I would argue that compassion, joy and equanimity are
expressions of love as well. The importance of love is expressed in a
quote by the XIV Dalia Lama, "Compassion and love are not mere luxuries.
As the source of both inner and external peace, they are fundamental to
the continued survival of our species."
Hinduism, Islam and Christianity holds love as a pivotal part of the religion, something too often overruled by the wants or goals of a specific group or church. Hinduism, as part of the five principles, states, "All human beings are divine" and "Unity of existence through love" shows the importance of love to the religion. Islam relates that Allah or God's love embraces all things. Christianity holds that God is love.
If you desired to study more religions throughout the world, throughout human history, you will find that the ideal of Love and Divinity are very similar regardless of time era and location.
Although we were speaking of healing modalities, it is important to include love because without love-love of one's self, love of others-healing is not possible. Each of the religions and philosophies stated above embrace love of not only the individual but of the collective whole as well as the power of this same love in the healing process.
Roughly stated, all the different modalities, through love, channel divine energy into the person or group that comes from spirit, God, Allah, Universe, which happens when the person or group opens up to the healing by confessing (or examining) their past wounds and accepting the healing energy (or Jesus, God, Allah) into themselves. Embracing self love, opening the past up to heal old wounds, believing they are worthy to be healed and allowing the divine energy to flow. The name applied to the healing modality or religious belief or philosophies are less important than the purity of the steps taken during the healing process.
If you take the time to study the many religions, philosophies, rituals regarding healing you will find that they are not so very different from each other; and you will discover that love and equality of life are at the forefront of all religious pursuits that have been corrupted by the ego of humans.
