HEALTH INSURANCE
Steve Goodier
Have you noticed how health insurance is like a hospital gown: every
time you turn around, you find something that isn't covered? But
health researchers are now discovering what many people have known all
along - that getting healthy is about more than medicine and
treatment. It also involves a healthy outlook on life.
Various studies have validated the mind/ body connection. Cancer is
often diagnosed within months of the death of one's spouse. People who
are cynical or angry have been shown to be more prone to heart attacks
than those with a more positive outlook. And former "Saturday Evening
Post" editor Norman Cousins has demonstrated for years how humor,
laughter and hope can aid the healing process.
Not only is a healthy mental outlook necessary, but a healthy
spiritual outlook seems to be equally important. Noted psychologist
Carl Jung (1865-1961) made a telling observation about the connection
between one's mental health and spiritual outlook. "During the past 30
years, people from all civilized countries of the earth have consulted
me," he said. "Among all my patients in the second half of life - that
is to say, over 35 - there has not been one whose problem in the last
resort was not that of finding a (spiritual) outlook on life. It is
safe to say that every one of them fell ill because he (or she) had
lost that which living religions of every age have given to their
followers.."
It seems that a healthy mental and spiritual outlook, like eating,
sleeping and paying taxes, is not really an option. Not when one is
looking for wholeness!
