Prayer For Healing In Scientific Terms

By Traci Witt


Everywhere globally, there are people who are not ashamed to believe in the possibilities which are achievable when prayer for healing is offered. Powers exercised have up to now passed diverse stages of screening in science. Good examples of the studies exist, backed up by critical analysis featuring the distinct components of philosophical nature affecting the research work.

Prayers have been stated as having improved results obtained in both nonhuman species and human. A stark paradox in all this assessment though is that intercessory prayers still seem in some situations to have no particular effect on outcomes, which rather get worse altogether. Healing effects also appear at other times to happen retrospectively rather than instantaneously or progressively.

Research on curative effects of prayers, for a host of reasons, is somewhat riddled with challenges, assumptions as well as contradictions. This all renders the subject itself a religious and scientific minefield. It thus may be construed that so far research has not provided sufficient evidence to conclusively address this subject.

Perhaps even then, the ultimate way to prove whether prayers do work is by considering matters from a spiritual perspective. For thousands of years, various forms of religious practice have been associated with curative aspects. Individuals from all walks of life invest thousands of man-hours petitioning for health together with relief from different ailments. Majority of these people are in fact quite bold about their faith and intercede for friends, loved ones plus perfect strangers in certain cases.

Prayers could result in healing plus good health via one mechanism or a number of them. Prayer is a unique form of meditation, which implies it may convey all benefits of health associated to this spiritual practice. Diverse kinds of meditation are demonstrated to trigger biological and psychological changes associated with actual health improvement. Meditation indeed has been shown to produce clinically-significant reduction in ambulatory blood pressure as well as resting. The activity, which is spiritual by nature, is also known for slowing down heart rate, for occasioning cardio-respiratory synchronization and for suppressing cortico-striatal glutamatergic neurotransmission.

Other benefits obtained here boost body immunity while cutting down on levels of reactive oxygen, assessed by means of ultra-weak photon emission. Research also links meditation to elevated self esteem and positive mood states, together with minimized anxiety and pain. Such practice as well has been noted for causing good influence on the diverse aspects relating to human life.

Lives of patients suffering from terminal diseases have been observed to improve significantly during the late stages owing to meditation. Interestingly, the spiritual form of meditation has been discovered to yield better gains than secular meditation plus relaxation. This is all in relation to improving positive mood, spiritual experiences, spiritual health and pain tolerance.

One can boost prayers by increasing the levels of faith exercised therein. There seems to be some curative effects in regards to placebo application with different disorders such as anxiety, tardive dyskinesia as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This list also includes Parkinson's disease, cancer, cardiac failure and ischemic heart disease among multiple other forms. Prayer for healing might just influence humankind for many generations to come.
