Edgar Cayce has been called the father of the modern-day holistic health movement, and his physical readings continue to be studied by physicians to determine if the material given for specific individuals years ago can be used today to help those who suffer from similar conditions.  The principles of health and healing in the Edgar Cayce readings are that the balance of body, mind, and soul are so closely intertwined that the dis-ease of any of these three aspects will also affect the other two.

                                                      Inner Healing

     All healing comes from within.  Our bodies have the inherent ability and inclination to be healthy.  Therapeutic intervention work best by assisting the processes of innate healing.

     Some approaches to healing ignore this principle and promote the practitioner or modality as the source of healing.  To be sure, some treatments can seem to provide dramatic outcomes.  Yet, without the healing response from within, a flawless surgery will ultimately result in the patient bleeding to death.  The most highly touted pills, whether from a major pharmaceutical company or your local health food store, can at best only stimulate or awaken the inner healing response.  Without the inner healing impulse, these chemicals only become a dross on the system.

     Therefore, when you choose a practitioner or treatment modality, look for that understated quality of humbleness that acknowledges the power of inner healing and the willingness to cooperate with the physician within.

     Nature cures is the basis for many healing systems as it is for the Cayce approach.  Since nature is an exression of the divine (as is the body), this principle is closely linked to holism and inner healing.

     Although almost any modality can assist the inner healing response, some therapies do have an inherent advantage in this regard.  In this context, "natural" usually translates as simple and unprocessed, whether it be foods or medicines.  Pills don't grow on trees or bushes, nor do they sprout from the ground.  Oils that are derived by cold-pressing are preferable to chemical extraction, and so forth.

     The ability of Edgar Cayce to give detailed information on any subject while in a trance is a startling phenomenon in itself.  Though he had no medical training, he could not only diagnose ailments that orthodox doctors had failed to diagnose, but could also prescribe proper remedies.

     For more than forty years the "Sleeping Prophet" closed his eyes, entered an altered state of consciousness, and spoke to the very heart and spirit of mankind on subjects such as health, healing, dreams, meditation, and reincarnation.  His more than 14,000 readings are preserved at the Association for Research and Enlightenment.
