There are solid benefits to becoming less focused on the body and more conscious of God. One of these benefits is to our health and well-being.
A precedent for turning away from the body and to God for healing is found in the Bible, particularly in the life and works of Christ Jesus. He healed many who had physical troubles, showing that disease is a violation of an inherent right—the right of the children of God to experience harmony in every aspect of life.
Underlying Jesus' words and deeds was eternal divine law, which we can learn how to apply. Through prayer that springs from an understanding of God as the perfect Principle of the universe, and of our actual nature as His spiritual image, we can experience genuine health.
