Levels of Healing

Summary

Through a case of advanced stomach cancer I would like to illustrate the different paths of healing. While healing is often defined as the disappearance of pathology, it is, the author suggests seeing healing as learning the lessons that are presented through the symptoms and pathology. Not only is this a more loving perception of health and life but it also doesnʼt necessarily mean that the pathology has to disappear. In the presented case, while the patient was going through a very profound healing process his pathology remained and even progressed.
