Contemplation

The possibility of healing, health and wholeness that may not be found elsewhere, lies in the art of contemplation.

How does contemplation bring about healing? There are times when the mind, soul, body and spirit need to rest. Contemplation, rather than outward activity makes that rest a reality.

Look at your own need for rest, in this light.

If you had a bone fracture, you would allow it to rest and heal, before engaging in activity that would put stress on it. If you had a broken tooth, you would seek to have it repaired before trying to chew. If you cut your finger, you would allow time for it to heal.

Here is more food for thought.

Think about traumatic events and how they fracture our emotional and psychological realms.

Most of us go through many traumatic events over the course of our lives. Some of these events are related to others, but not all of them. At times, for the sake of healing, we simply need to think them through and deal with them, in some manner.

The art of contemplation works well in this regard.

At times, our relationship with God is fractured and needs healing, so order is restored to our tormented souls. Our broken spirits need to be made healthy again, so that we can live in peace and know the true meaning of happiness.

Perhaps we are into debt overload with financial fracturing tearing our lives, homes and marriages apart. We need time for restoration in many areas of our lives, including broken relationships with others.

Our thought processes allow the art of contemplation to develop in many different directions in our lives, bringing the kind of healing that allows us to be healthy. Only then can we continue to function properly in our day-to-day lives.

It is wonderful that we can think!

Think about developing the art of contemplation further in your life and then do it.
