The Spiritual Side of Healing: Not all Sources Are the Same

In today's episode we dive into the spiritual side of healing. We discuss how new age practices and Eastern phiolosphy of enlightenment and self realization are often the first things many reach for when going on a healing journey. We dive deeper into the word of God to look at what the Bible says about them, and how it can appear as light while leading us towards a self focused philosophy that relies on our own wisdom over God's.

Ayurvedic health coach, Ally, discusses her own journey as she dove in to new age practices like crystals, psychics, reiki, yoga, and working towards a sense of enlightenment, and her journey towards seeking spiritual truth and healing. She goes deep into what drew her to these practices, and how while seeking God with all her heart, the holy spirit led her towards learning about the gospel and the power of Christ's sacrifice and meaning of his death and resurrection. After getting baptized she asked God to show her why these practices she was once part of were so deceptive and far from the truth, which she reveals in today's episode.

We dive into learning about Adam and Eve, and how the serpent didn't decieve them with evil, but a promise of delicious fruit that would give them the wisdom of God.

We talk all about how the true healing you need spiritually, comes from the one God who came down to us, sacrificing his body in the greatest act of pure love, so that we could have oneness with him, and why the devil works hard to decieve many who are seeking spiritual healing.
