Question
Few months back, I was involved in a serious accident that resulted with my hospitalization for 3 months. Although I have been released from the hospital, I am still suffering shoulder and back pain. I consulted my doctor, but nothing is done to fix my problem. What should I do to ease my suffering?

Answer
We assume, an accident that requires 3 months of hospitalization must have caused major, as well as other damages to your entire body. So it’s probably very natural to require some more time to heal. To ease the physical healing process, we recommend you focus a little on your mind.
Be aware that true health is when the kokoro and the body are in harmony.
Kigan so that you may live by Kami’s teachings.
Your kokoro will gradually become positive and the body will move with suppleness and flexibility.
But, the movement of the kokoro to go off the “path,” weighs down the movement of the body.
Kami teaches us that true health is achieved in the balance of the mind and the body. The more you make the effort to live with a positive mind it will help you stay physically healthy. As long as we live, we become sick or get injured. However, there is a way of life that protects you from health issues. If for any reason you do fall ill or get hurt, make that an opportunity to look back and reflect on how you are living based on the teachings of Kami. You will notice the areas in which to adjust—whether it is your appreciation towards your doctor or your family who’s there to support, your attitude towards the surrounding. You will be able to make the right decisions, take away something positive from the situation and overcome.
