The Healing Power of Caring
Question: One of my patients had diabetes and suffered from depression. She was lonely, so she ate whatever happened to be around, never cooked for herself, microwaved ready-made meals, and ate on the go. I asked whether she had a friend, and after receiving a positive answer, I advised them to cook for each other. They followed my advice and both began to recover. Why is it that a person cannot do something for themselves, but does it with pleasure for another?
Answer: In a woman this is expressed especially strongly, because she has a maternal instinct of care, a sense of duty. A person is too lazy to cook just for themselves. It is well-known that if a woman lives alone, she will never cook. But if she has a family, she cannot allow herself to let things slide.
Why do we become healthier when we care for others? Not even because our systems balance each other, but because we enter into balance with nature, with the vast surrounding world in which powerful forces circulate that strive toward equilibrium. We exist between each other like a dipole: plus–minus, minus–plus, which begins to interact with this enormous field, with this enormous force. And since we strive to resemble it, we draw its positive influence onto ourselves, an influence that heals us.
It doesn’t matter on what level we interact with each other. Suppose two people exchange small pleasant things; it doesn’t matter what. The main thing is that an action occurs that places them in correspondence with this vast field, and then both begin to recover. And it doesn’t matter that one sent the other an apple and the other sent back something equally insignificant; that is not the point. The point lies precisely in the correspondence with the surrounding environment, with what you align yourself: either with corrupt humanity, from which you receive only negative influences, or with the positive influence of the great force of nature.
