The Difference Between "Curing" and "Healing"


I often get asked questions that indicate to me that many people are not aware of the difference between "curing" and "healing".


So let us, just briefly, look at the difference between healing and curing:


Curing is an end product or finite result. Dictionary definitions define it as “the complete biological resolution of a diseased state” or “ the elimination of disease, distress, evil”.


Healing is a Process and infinite in nature. Some definitions include: “the making or becoming whole, the mending of a breach”, “to free from grief , troubles, evil”, “ restoring to health or soundness”.


Looking at it in the borader sense, to be healed spiritually with respect to an issue is to become whole with that issue. For example, it may involve a cure but it may also mean being at peace with the fact that there is no cure.
