SPIRITUAL HEALING AND GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

BY RILEY SEAY

Several years ago I was confronted with attacks of dizziness, nausea, and weakness. These attacks happened several times over a period of a year and a half. Sometimes I felt I was losing balance. I wondered at times if the attacks were caused by something I ate or a chemical imbalance.

My immediate response was to pray, as that is how I am used to dealing with illness. And each time, I found temporary release, although I wasn't fully healed.

After a while, I saw a pattern that was more mental in nature. I began to notice that the attacks often happened when I was with certain individuals who were very much opposed to the things that I stand for. At the time, I was working around people who were in direct opposition to my religious beliefs. I came to feel this was the basic cause of the physical sickness as well as the mental disorientation.
