Medicine and Magic Are
we mere flesh and blood, or something more?
Many believe that we have both a spiritual as well as a physical
existence. Call it a soul, an aura,
whatever - we are energy linked to a physical shell. If this is true for us, can it also be true
for the strange little life forms we call diseases? Medicine
works on the physical; it attacks an illness on a material level. An example of this is an antibiotic which
attacks the microscopic "bodies" of the invading disease. But in addition to medicine, many people use
a variety of healing techniques which employ magical energies. Perhaps this magic works with the energy
portion of the disease. Both
medicine and magic have merits. They
also have limits. But when used
together, they have synergy that makes them much more effective. Look for ways to see the magic within your
medicine. It is just another magical tool! Are the pills round? Are they colored? If you should take them every 4 hours, can
that be a cycle, a rhythm? Help your
medicine be blessed and charged with the powers to heal. How
can energy be used to heal? There are
very complex ways, but very simple ways too.
The simplest being the use of your own imagination! Does a hot bath feel good when you are
sick? Try steeping the illness out of
you, leaving it behind like flavor from a tea bag. Notice the symptoms of many illnesses are the
body's natural "output" devices.
Coughing, sneezing, bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea and sweats all cast out
a tiny bit of you, and perhaps the illness as well. See the illness leaving your body with these
symptoms. Ever
sign a cast for someone with a broken bone?
See that as a magical event, focusing your attention and energies on
healing the wounded area. Use the
colors, shapes, symbols or words you feel appropriate. With body paints, you can work your healing
magic over just about any part of the body! If
medicine and magic can work well together, then perhaps we can do the same for
habits which prevent illness. See your
diet, exercise and general healthcare as magical events. Pray (and work) for the benefits of good
health. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.
