Only the mind is in need of healing. Yet sometimes the illness has a sufficiently strong hold over the mind to render a person temporarily inaccessible to complete forgiveness. In this case, it may be wise to utilize a compromise approach to mind and body in which something from the outside is temporarily given healing belief. This is because the last thing that can help the non-right-minded, or the sick, is an increase in fear (A Course In Miracles P-1.3 & T-2.IV.4:4-10)
