The process of what we call holistic healing is not just healing of the physical body and the mental body but it is seeing under a different light your own Self. The Self, the Atman, is compared to the shining radiant Sun, giving light and life to all around. Self- Healing is allowing your consciousness to enlighten yourself so that you understand that the body and the mind are your instruments, and you are not making the mistake that your body and your mind is your Self.
