Healing Karmic Based Physical or Spiritual Diseases, Illness

A disease which has its primary consequence in past lives or previous acts by violations of the Divine Principles is considered a Karmic disease. We sowed seeds through the actions and thoughts in the past life, which now come up throughout the present life. Many karmic diseases are related to body injuries or wounds. For instance, heart defect is a karmic disease associated with cardiac activity failure in the past life. This could be a knife wound, a cardiac surgery or heart transplantation, or a car accident. The relevant information was recorded and deposited in mind, and mind is one of the covers of the thin body which transfers information to the following body. Karmic disease may be a spiritual disease or bodily disease, or their various combinations. Karmic diseases are often referred to only as spiritual diseases for they are manifested only on a non-material level and materialistic methods cannot identify, describe or eliminate them. Any action that might have caused harm to the health of others whether in physical, mental, emotional or sexual realms can actively induce physical karma. Consequently, these diseases are present in our energy bodies as unbalanced patterns, and they are enshrined in our Akashic Records, as everything that happens in our lives has been stored. According to our vedas, however, every disease is Karmic. After all, every disease has its cause in ignorance and subsequent incorrect, unnatural behaviour and the objective of every disease is to extend our cognition, to fulfil our Karma. When illness occurs, we cannot ignore it or put off dealing with it until sometime in the future. How we respond to illness is the key to the outcome. It can be an opportunity to face ourselves and how we are living and become a force for positive change.

An important principle in healing, is to remove the cause of the illness. For example, if your stomach is burning from eating too many chillies, stop eating too many chillies. This follows the natural relationship of cause and effect. The action of eating too many chillies causes the burning effect. Karma is defined simply as “action.” Some actions have immediate effects like eating too many chillies. Some do not. Some have a cumulative effect over time. This is why poor habits gradually turn into full-blown illnesses. For example, eating too much sugar may predispose us to diabetes. Drinking too much alcohol may lead to liver disease. In these cases, to remove the cause means to remove the negative habit. Upon removal of the habit early on, the person has a chance to gradually heal. We can explain this delay between cause and effect with an analogy. Causes are called karmic seeds, and effects are called karmic fruits. Each time we perform an action of body, speech, or mind, it is like planting a seed in our subconscious mind, the storehouse of karmas. The karmic seeds, once planted, remain dormant until the appropriate conditions are present for the seed to sprout and bear fruit.

A disease can thus haunt an individual for a lifetime and sometimes during several lives, until he gets rid of it himself or until someone knowledgeable and authorised assists through spiritual therapy.
