So these things are not actually at all relevant to the principles of healing, in my opinion. Instead I think healing is an outgrowth of emotional and creative expression, which may take many different forms, as well as the will to live. The willingness to live causes one to seek out healing and repair opportunities and to act upon them. This is why mental health can be so totally devastating and the body can deteriorate under such mental conditions, there is a disconnect from the will and desire to live.
I agree with you here. However, there are a couple of things to consider.
One is that the belief systems in one's subconscious, which may be derived from programming by media or culture, in other words, based on untruths, may conflict with "knowingness" of self. The underlying authentic self may understand the true nature of distortions or disease, but the subconscious mind may believe certain things such as a pill from a doctor will fix something (a rather exaggerated example).
Another is that we do have physical bodies which operate within a construct here; so if you ingest poison you become poisoned. But to that, there is the possibility of overcoming that poison much like the Bene Gesserit in Dune, even physically. But is that efficacious to depend upon? Why not optimize health in 3D physicality first and respect the construct we agreed to be part of? Or perhaps we are here to bust the system open; or, to transcend the physical.
Just throwing in some ideas to widen the conversation.
