Non secular features of therapeutic – The medication Buddha
What’s religious therapeutic? You would possibly take into consideration religious therapeutic by way of this definition:
“Non secular therapeutic is the artwork of bringing a better, extra complete and inclusive dimension of actuality to bear upon a decrease dimension, with a purpose to carry that higher wholeness, therapeutic and inclusivity into the decrease dimension, thus effecting therapeutic.”
To apply religious therapeutic is then principally studying to meditate (Sure, mediate, or channel) larger, deeper dimensions of power to folks or locations the place therapeutic is required. It may be completed in several methods:
- To impact bodily or psychological therapeutic for ourself
- To impact bodily or psychological therapeutic for others
- To direct therapeutic power to teams of individuals or locations on the planet
What/who’s the Drugs Buddha
The Drugs buddha apply is an instance of a religious therapeutic apply. Generally Buddha’s are linked to precise folks, however extra typically these are mythic somewhat than factual tales, and the Buddha in query is extra of an embodiment of a specific enlightened high quality, a primal archetype somewhat than a ‘individual’. Within the case of the Drugs Buddha, he could also be considered the therapeutic energy of all of the Buddhas (and our personal enlightened Buddha nature) embodied in a human kind, albeit with a blue physique (!)
Having been associated to on this approach for over two thousand years, visualizing the Drugs Buddha and reciting his therapeutic mantra supplies a ready-made pathway within the human group consciousness that we will use to entry this specific religious therapeutic power from the upper dimensions of actuality to carry therapeutic to ourself and others.
Paradigms for understanding illness
Within the conventional Drugs Buddha teachings, there are 4 forms of illness/sickness:
- Sickness that we will get better from with out medication (bodily or religious)
- Sicknesses that we want medicines to get better correctly from
- Sicknesses which have a ‘soul’ degree or karmic trigger, and that can’t be healed by bodily medication alone, however could be healed by means of religious therapeutic apply
- Sickness that’s basically untreatable, spiritually or with conventional medication, and that we can’t get better from as soon as they manifest.
From this we will see that religious therapeutic practices just like the Drugs Buddha are primarily useful for the third class of illness, and as a preventative for serving to to keep away from the fourth class of illness coming into manifestation. In my very own apply of the Drugs Buddha, I primarily deal with:
- Every day apply as a future illness prevention. This can be a bit like taking dietary supplements to extend immunity(!)
- Working to construct energy and wholeness within the ‘weak’ spots in my physique, once more making sickness and harm much less seemingly
- In relation to signs of illnesses I get, for instance decreasing ache and activating therapeutic round a current gastric flu I had. This was along side common TCM sort medicine.
- For others I do know who’re sick and in want of therapeutic, or who’re weak to sickness
Therapeutic meditation with the medication Buddha, 3 methods
The methodology used to do religious therapeutic is commonly deceptively easy, within the case of the Drugs Buddha it may be completed in a quite simple approach by:
- Producing a compassionate motivation
- Visualizing him within the house in entrance of you, setting your particular intention for requesting therapeutic
- Reciting his mantra
- Imagining therapeutic gentle and nectar flowing down from his coronary heart (the place the mantra sits), into the individual, space of the physique or a part of the world the place you need the therapeutic power to circulation
- Ending with a quick interval of stillness
The mantra itself is Sanskrit:
TAYATHA OM GATE GATE, PARAGATE, PARASANGATE BODHI SOHA
This implies fairly actually ‘Oh physician (Gate), physician, nice physician, physician of medical doctors, please grant us the therapeutic attainments!’
The apply might look easy, infantile even, however mixed with good high quality intention and focus, the results could be felt fairly quickly and simply. It’s a apply I’ve had for years, in case your in search of one other dimension to your personal therapeutic methodologies, that is one I extremely suggest.
