Episode notes
Faith As Root Cause
- Rav Nachman teaches that lack of faith (emunah) is the root of personal exile and many emotional illnesses.
- Building faith requires persistent prayer and cultivating a relationship with God, which then reduces anxiety and resistance.
Belief Amplifies Healing
- Healing effects of medicine and prayer depend heavily on the patient's faith and mood before treatment.
- The Rambam prioritized uplifting a patient's spirits because emotional state amplifies medical outcomes.
Radical Remission Stories
- Gedale recounts cases where people facing terminal diagnoses found healing after embracing joy and surrender.
- Radical remission often followed a shift to living fully and letting go of fear.
