Well this is a very deeply personal thing for most people. Spirituality works for me in helping with schizophrenia. I believe many people are psychic, and this is not due to the illness but due to human nature and open-ness to the divine within. Some people with schizophrenia learn to open up more to spirituality because of how hard it is to deal with.
The psyche and the spirit are connected. The spirit can heal the psyche and vice versa. I was driving during a rain storm and it was pouring and flooding the roads. Suddenly I thought, this is enough. And I told the storm to stop. Instantly it stopped, and we were driving through fog where the rain seemed to have vanished. I know how to speak to nature. I have known how since a little girl. When I was in the hospital a girl dared me when I said I could make it rain, to cause it to rain on this bright summer day with not a cloud in sight. In half an hour, it began raining and we could see it out the window.
On the fourth of July I was feeling depressed, so I sat on a mountain and I meditated and it began to grow foggier and foggier until the energy broke and I walked back deciding not to spoil the fun. When I was young I was very in love with nature, and spoke to the wind who would "respond" to me by brushing me and following me. Later I was told this was not possible, or for some reason stopped doing it.
This is nature mysticism. It is possible to speak to nature, and realms may exist where certain elements reside. I am pretty certain I will reincarnate, as I have petitioned for this and thought it seemed right for my path. I also used to speak to animals. I had a squirrel walk up to me and put its paw in my hand, a stray cat I would adopt and neighborhood dogs I would play with. These are all aspects of the healing power of the self.
Also, now with the diagnosis, I've learned that the voices I hear have become guardian forces. Not real forces, but aspects of my self that can gather information, that can perform missions. It's very magical, very mystical. They also act as reminders when I've done things I shouldn't do or strayed from my normal path. So in essence, there is something missing from many people's perceptions of the nature of the self, and healing, and how we can use schizophrenia to our advantage.
How the duality of the self is evolving.
