Lesson 10 from Jon Kabat-Zinn's "Letting Everything Become Your Teacher"

In this brief yet profound lesson from Jon Kabat-Zinn's Letting Everything Become Your Teacher, we come to a better understanding of the difference between healing and curing.

LESSON 10 - Healing & Curing

Healing does not mean curing, although the two words are often used interchangeably. While it may not be possible for us to cure ourselves or to find someone who can, it is always possible for us to heal ourselves. Healing implies the possibility for us to relate differently to illness, disability, even death, as we learn to see with eyes of wholeness. Healing is coming to terms with things as they are.
