Emotional and Spiritual Healing

Emotional and Spiritual Healing
Our thoughts and emotions have the power to influence our health just as much as our biological makeup. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, the focus needs to be not only on their physical state, but on their emotional and spiritual state also. Perhaps even more so. As more and more studies show the link between stress and the immune system, for example, and the role of emotional trauma in the development of cancer, it becomes clear that emotional and spiritual healing in cancer is critical for recovery.
