Sickness isn’t something that just “happens” to us, and neither is health something that can be achieved simply with the right foods, medicines, exercise, and mental attitude.
Health and sickness are a reflection of our essential being, and hence the potential for health resides in each of us at all times.
When we are grounded in the universal consciousness the author calls our One-Self, our entire being is in balance, which gives rise to wellness. This is because there is no fracturing within our One-Self, which knows nothing but well-being. It is whole, or “holy.”
