Healing and curing are sometimes but not always the same.
Sometimes a healing can produce a cure; symptoms are relieved, problems are solved.
But many of the uncomfortable situations we go through, that we often label as disease or illness are actually for our higher good.
Healing does not always mean recovery.
On the physical level, we all seek vitality yet bodily death is at some point inevitable.
Healing means moving more into wholeness, love, wisdom and consciousness.
This transcends the physical. Likewise, a person may be temporarily cured of a particular undesired condition through a relatively superficial treatment, but if healing on a deeper level does not occur, the underlying condition will resurface at a later time.
This is the reason that the most powerful forms of healing occur on the level of the energetic light body.
