Attitudinal Healing

Attitudinal Healing

I was reading a very interesting article

explaining Attitudinal Healing in Unity magazine the other day.

Gerald Jampolsky, M.D. a Psychiatrist wrote a book

back in 1975 called Love is Letting Go of Fear.

That book propelled his Attitudinal Healing approach

to a very diverse audience.

He states: “The real emphasis is having peace of mind

as your only function.

Attitudinal Healing is about letting go of blocks

we put in the way of experiencing

the love we are born with; the love God created as us.

We’re not just physical bodies – we’re really spiritual beings.

We’re here to choose peace and love rather than fear,

to be love-givers rather than love-seekers

and love-finders rather than fault-finders.”

They go on to discuss why is it so hard

to hold onto happiness as our natural state?

He replies: “Attitudinal Healing is not about changing other people.

It’s about healing our own attitudes.

That’s why we say your attitude is everything.

When I get rid of judgments about myself,

other people, and my self-imposed limitations,

I start to see the world differently.

Then, nothing is impossible.

In that, I find freedom.

And that freedom is surrendering to love, to a higher power.

It’s surrendering to God.”

They mention willingness as a bridge

to shifting your attitude.

Dr. Jampolsky responds: “You just hit bingo!

It’s all about the willingness to see things differently,

the willingness to let go of the past and let go of form.

I think we need to be vigorously involved in that willingness

and not get caught in old habits of being defensive and pessimistic

and thinking the past is going to repeat itself.”

There’s a network of centers teaching this

in over 200 cities in 27 different countries.

It’s all about choice and choosing your attitude,

may you choose one aligned with love.

God blesses you and yours this day and every day, Keith
