Fabienne Raoul, an engineer by training, testifies about her near-death experience and her recovery which defies science. His book “These cures that defy science” opens the debate on the agreement between body and mind in the healing process.
In her work “These healings that defy science”, Fabienne Raoul explores the mysteries of unexplained healings, a subject that touches her personally. An engineer by training, Fabienne Raoul has always had a Cartesian vision of the world. But a heart attack in 2004 changed his perception of reality. She recounts a near-death experience, which marked a turning point in her life. “During my heart attack, I lost consciousness and instantly went towards the light, where beings were waiting for me. I was bathed in an extremely powerful love”she confides. A spiritual experience that she had never anticipated, and which opened her to the existence of an invisible dimension, far beyond what she could previously conceive.
A dimension beyond science
Fabienne Raoul distinguishes the idea of God, which she considers to be too fixed a concept, from what she calls “another dimension” of our reality. “I am deeply convinced that there is something much greater than us, but our brain only perceives a tiny part of this reality”she explains. This perception of the invisible, which she describes as a “higher dimension”, nourishes a reflection on the relationship between the body and the mind, and in particular on the way in which emotions influence our physical health.
In her book, Fabienne Raoul questions the impact of psychology and emotions on physical healing. It refers in particular to Chinese medicine, which values harmony between body and mind. “In the West, we have a very materialistic vision of medicine, where we treat the diseased organ without taking into account the person as a whole”she emphasizes. This approach, too reductive according to her, does not allow us to grasp the profound impact of emotions on the body. The link between mental state and illness now seems recognized in certain traditional medicines, but remains a vague and little explored area in conventional medicine.
The placebo effect: proof of the power of the mind
Another concept she addresses is the placebo effect, often relegated to the rank of an anecdotal phenomenon, but which Fabienne Raoul considers as a concrete illustration of the power of thought on healing. “The placebo effect demonstrates that the mind has a real influence on the body. This clearly shows that our psychology can act on our physiology”she says. She therefore invites us not to neglect this psychological dimension in the healing process.
Healing is not just physical
Beyond physical healings, Fabienne Raoul also evokes spiritual healing, that which we achieve at the moment of death. “Some of my witnesses found peace before leaving, almost miraculously, in a state of absolute serenity”she says. For her, healing is not limited to healing the body, but can also concern inner peace, which can be achieved at any time of life.
The author hopes that one day Western medicine will integrate these spiritual and emotional dimensions into its practice. “I dream of creating a database that would list cases of unexplained healings so that we can study them from a cross-sectional point of view”she confides. According to her, the future of medicine could rest on a dialogue between sciences, psychologists and traditional medicines. By bringing together all these approaches, it would be possible to better understand why certain cures escape current science and why others, sometimes inexplicable, occur.
