In his book, Instant Healing, author and Hawaiian shaman Serge Kahili King makes the extraordinary claim that we are capable of healing cuts, headaches, colds, depression, bruises, and even broken bones in less than an hour with no medical treatment. King reminds us that mental thoughts and images create immediate physical responses. For example, if you visualize someone you detest, your body will become tense--even though the person really isn\'t there. King goes so far as to claim that the body responds exclusively to the mind. If your mind decides your body should get sick--for example, to avoid an unpleasant meeting or to gain more attention from loved ones- then, your body will begin to manifest the symptoms of, say, a cold. Our body reacts according to our mental beliefs and expectations and this is why, according to King, we catch colds from standing in the rain, but not when we shower, why we feel weaker and sicker when the doctor tells us we\'re ill, and why people in certain cultures are suddenly cured of serious ailments from drinking¡°holy water.¡±If our minds dictate our physical responses, then it stands to reason that we can use positive mental thoughts and imagery to enhance physical healing. King radically claims that the body is capable of¡°instant healing¡±(less than one hour),¡°rapid healing¡±(less than one Á¸ ¹Ú(John Park) Âû°ú»ó, µÎÅë, °¨±â, ¿ì¿ïÁõ, ¸Û, ½ÉÁö¾î´ÂºÎ·¯Áø »ÀÁ¶Â÷ ¾î¶² ÀÇ·áÇàÀ§ ¾øÀÌ ÇÑ ½Ã°£ ¾È¿¡ Ä¡À¯ÇÒ ¼ö ÀÖ´Â ´É·ÂÀÌ ¿ì¸®¿¡°Ô ÀÖ´Ù¸é ¹Ï°Ú´Â°¡?

day), and ¡°fast healing¡±(less than one week), and he proposes a variety of healing methods, based on Hawaiian shamanism. The first method King describes is using the power of words. With great authority, commitment, and sincerity, you verbally instruct your body how to respond. This can be done in a number of ways. One is by repeating a detailed affirmation such as¡°I am as healthy as when I practiced ballet in high school.¡±The idea is to repeat a key phrase until you can feel an effect. More difficult than this is the radical affirmation where you might affirm, for example,¡°I don\'t have asthma! I don\'t have asthma!¡±This method is difficult because you must affirm something that is not yet true. Another simpler method is to repeat a health- enhancing metaphor such as¡°I am a tree, full of life and strength.¡±Anything that has qualities you admire can be used in metaphorical healing. A fourth method is to give directions to your body such as¡°Okay, body, I want you to enhance your immune system and clean out all toxins, improve blood circulation and digestion.¡±Finally, you can try giving yourself blessings. Blessings basically involve praise. You may express gratitude,¡°Thank you, body, for being strong and beautiful and healthy today!¡±Or you may provide validation,¡°Great job, body, on getting rid of that headache!¡±Use praise lavishly. Bodies, like children, are said to love praise. Another healing method King describes is using the power of imagination. One way to do this

Be sure to include all your senses in your recall (how things sounded, smelled, felt, tasted, etc.) as well as the emotions associated with times of health. The more detailed the memory, the faster your body will readjust to match it. Another use of imagination is to create a healthy fantasy. For example, if your muscles are sore, imagine yourself getting the greatest massage in the world. If you have the flu, you can imagine that doctors from the future have arrived in a time machine to give you a perfect cure. Let your imagination run wild. Or you can simply imagine yourself bathed in healing light. By far the most radical use of imagination is found
, in Kings¡°mind-blower technique.¡±As soon as you receive an injury, you repeat the actions that led to the injury, but change the ending so that you avoid the fateful blow or cut. For example, if you caught your finger in a door, you repeat the swinging of the door against your finger, but pull your finger away at the last instant. At the same time, you forcefully repeat out loud, over and over,¡°My finger was not hit! My finger was not hit!¡±The intent here is for your mind to convince your body through speech and action that the injury never occurred. King himself claims to have healed badly broken fingers by crying out,¡°Nothing happened!¡±for 20 minutes while reenacting his physical movements minus the stumble that injured him. This method requires extraordinary commitment because most people, when injured, immediately obsess over the damage, replaying in their minds the events that led À» »ó»óÇØº¸´Â °ÍÀÌ´Ù. µ¶°¨¿¡ °É¸®¸é, ¹Ì·¡¿¡¼ ŸÀÓ¸Ó½ÅÀ» Ÿ°í ¿Â Àǻ簡 ´ç½Å¿¡°Ô ¿Ïº®ÇÑ Ä¡·á¸¦ ÇØÁÖ´Â °ÍÀ» »ó»óÇØº¼ ¼öµµ ÀÖ´Ù. »ó»óÀÇ °í»ß¸¦ Ç®¾î¶ó. ´Ü¼øÈ÷ ºû ¼Ó¿¡ ¸öÀ» Ç« ´ã±Ù ´ç½ÅÀÇ ¸ð½ÀÀ» »ó»óÇϴ°͵µÁÁ´Ù.

to their getting hurt. King insists that our bodies have the power to heal instantaneously if only our minds will get out of the way.
, So does this really work? Ive tried out most of the , methods and I think they do, but its not easy and , Ive experienced both success and failure. Most memorably, while riding the subway last year, I got smacked in the eye by a hard plastic handle. I was certain I would get a black eye. I immediately grabbed the handle again and repeated its swing, but had it miss my eye, and at the same time, I quietly repeated,¡°My eye is fine! My eye is fine!¡±To my astonishment, my eye, which was already feeling hot, suddenly cooled and the sharp pain quickly reduced. In a few minutes, the pain was gone and my eye was fine. However, right now, as I write this, I have a cold that refuses to drop. I have asked my body nicely to get rid of it, , Ive imagined myself completely healed, I tried, but I\'m still coughing. So, yes, I think the meth, ods here work. But its not so easy to get your , mind to do what you want it to do. Why dont you see for yourself? ·Ï Èçµé¾ú´Ù. ±×·¯¸é¼¡°³» ´«Àº ±¦Âú¾Æ! ³» ´«Àº ±¦Âú¾Æ!¡±¸¦Á¶¿ëÈ÷¹Ýº¹Çß´Ù. ³î¶ø°ÔµµÀ̹ÌȲö°Å¸®°í ÀÖ´ø ´«¿¡ °©Àڱ⠿ÀÌ ½Ä´õ´Ï ½ÉÇÑ ÅëÁõµµ ºü¸£°Ô ÁÙ¾îµå´Â °ÍÀ̾ú´Ù. ¸î ºÐµµ ä ¾È µÇ¾î ÅëÁõÀº »ç¶óÁö°í´«µµ±¦Âú¾ÆÁ³´Ù. ±×·±µ¥Áö±ÝÀ̱ÛÀ»¾²°íÀÖ´Â ³ª´Âµµ¹«Áö¶³¾îÁúÁٸ𸣴°¨±â¿¡½Ã´Þ¸®°íÀÖ´Ù. ³» ¸ö¿¡°Ô °¨±â¸¦ ¾ø¾Ö¹ö¸®¶ó°í »ó³ÉÇÏ°Ô ºÎʵµ ÇØº¸°í, ¿ÏÀüÈ÷ȸº¹µÈ³»¸ð½ÀÀ»»ó»óµµÇغ¸¾ÒÁö¸¸, ³ ¿©ÀüÈ÷ ±âħ ÁßÀÌ´Ù. ±×·¡¼, ¹°·Ð ³ ÀÌ ¹æ¹ýµéÀÌ È¿°ú°¡ ÀÖ´Ù°í »ý°¢ÇÏÁö¸¸, Á¤½ÅÀÌ ¿©·¯ºÐ ¿øÇÏ´Â ´ë·Î´Ùµû¸£µµ·ÏÇϱâ¶õ½±Áö¾Ê´Ù´Â¸»ÀÌ´Ù. ¿©·¯ºÐµµÇÑ ¹ø Á÷Á¢ ½ÃµµÇغ¸±æ ¹Ù¶õ´Ù. |
