What's the key to successful spiritual healing of illness and other troubles people face?
In a word: spirituality. That's not too big a word, but it's a very big concept. And that's the primary thing. Now, as to what spirituality is? Well, basically I think it has to do with relating to the things of God, rather than to the things of material life. It has a lot to do with one's values—what is important and what is not. But on some level, I think it's a matter for individual definition. What spirituality is for me may not be quite the same as spirituality for somebody else.
