Perfect health means harmony in the body. When any organ, nerve or cell ceases to work in co-operation or harmony with all others, there is a cause of disease. Harmony is a state of well-being and the keynote of beauty in all nature. Over 90% of Rosicrucians are happy, radiant, intelligent and healthy people because they have over the years cultivated that state of harmony within their being. We as Rosicrucians know that the human body is divine in the sense that its order, its splendid mechanism is the result of divine intelligence and creation not a product of man's action and that if there is a diseased condition, the divine spark within man can be used to effect immediate reparation by petitioning the mind of God to direct healing forces to him.

Rosicrucians do not ignore pain which is nature's signal system. Pain is a build-up of pressure when harmonious flow is impeded due to a defect in the system, when flow resumes pain goes.

Analgesics will only deaden the nerves around the obstruction temporarily. In emotional states religious revival and battle pain may be suppressed temporarily or permanently. Our approach will be an admixture of preventive and healing techniques because prevention is better than cure. For perfect bodily health, we need an intake of what the Rosicrucians call A & B elements and the addition of that great absorbent called water of which we shall discuss later. All diseases, Rosicrucians contend, result from unbalanced relationship of A & B. A is the VLF (vital life force) in the air we breathe while B is in the food we eat; it is earthly and chemical.

Self Diagnosis

A. If A is lacking, we become exhausted, tired and restless to cure, we go into the open and take a series of deep breaths exhaling slowly. Sometimes, if we are near someone with negatively polarized aura, we feel run-down, we must then recharge our system by a combination of deep breaths and visualization egg circle or cylinder exercise;

B. The following conditions indicate that B element is lacking colds, loss of appetite, anaemic blood, sleeplessness, rheumatism or neuralgia. Generally the body's ability to fight is greatly reduced.

Remedy

Eat simple, nourishing foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, less of carbohydrates, avoid coffees, if at all, drink tea sparingly, little or no alcohol. Use water charged by hand or by colour. The overall exercise is a tonic to the system use it all the time.

Exercise

a) Conduct the overall exercise;

b) Then give self treatment of B as follows: Let the finger tips touch while the lungs are completely emptied of air, and then bring the finger tips together, when you feel like breathing separate the finger tips. Repeat thrice.

Best Personal Medicine

Have medical check-ups;

Remain calm whatever the situation it could be worse. Thank God always;

Know yourself indulge in self-study leading to self improvement be slow to correct others.

Slow down as you grow older relax.

Healing

We can divide healing into 3 main areas:

(i) Conventional healing as carried out by doctors;

(ii) Contact healing;

(iii) Metaphysical healing i.e. absent or long distance healing.

For (i) we see a doctor if need be. Rosicrucians do not teach this which is left to those whose job it is. Be careful of self-medication, however;

(ii) Contact healing in self healing Basic Ethereal energy flows through the body. There are two nervous systems Spinal nervous system and sympathetic or autonomic nervous system both sides linked by rami-cummunicans to the central nervous system. On the sympathetic nervous systems are central stations called ganglia (sing. Ganglion). Here, the subtle spirit or cosmic energy flowing through the thumb and the first two fingers can be distributed throughout the body; each ganglion leads to a particular part of the body. Contact healing is useful for healing others but may be adapted for self-healing in certain cases:

a) Short circuiting extra flow of energy Eaman's circle;

b) Charging water;

c) Clasp hands and hold against body in the area of the solar plexus;

d) For pains in the head, face and neck, apply the tips of the fingers of the right hand just beneath the left ear on a line with the mouth. Breathe in and out and concentrate on the area of pain for 3 minutes.

e) For pains in the arms, chest and upper part of the back, apply the finger tips of the right hand to the back of the neck above the collar bone to the left side of the spine. Breathe and concentrate as in (d) above.

All these and more are uses of the nerve energy flowing through man particularly through the radial or medium nerves of the thumb and the first two fingers. Also note that vowel sounds can used to enhance the flow of this energy when combined with proper breathing.
