What does self-healing power refer to?

The characteristic of the manas is that at all times it engages in activities unknown to the mind consciousness, unwilling to remain idle. What it does is chiefly all for the sake of "self," safeguarding all of its own interests. It always finds ways to satisfy its own needs and solve the most pressing problems. It possesses great energy and can realize its goals and achieve its aims, because behind it there is the tathāgatagarbha that satisfies it as much as possible.

Therefore, one must make the manas believe that one's body will surely become healthy. Once the manas believes this, it will find ways to make itself healthy. Whether the body has a deficiency illness or a substantial illness, He will find ways to resolve it and resist stubbornly. If the manas is unwilling to remain afflicted by a deficiency illness, it will put up a desperate fight; when karmic obstructions partially recede and merit strengthens, the beings of the yin realm will withdraw.
If it is a substantial illness and the manas wants health, the tathāgatagarbha will exercise its nature of the intrinsic nature of the great elements (mahābhūta-svabhāva), transmitting and harmonizing the seeds of the four great elements, allowing the material body to gradually recover — this is what the secular world calls the body's own self-healing power. The manas will also seek out various opportunities behind the scenes to change its own condition. Then the material body will have many chances to regain health.
The key is to make the manas confident that it can become healthy, that it has no illness, and that everything will get better; then the manas will strive in this direction and ultimately solve the problem. Suggesting to the manas and encouraging the manas is blessing oneself. In the end it is all blessed by the self-nature Buddha — one delivers oneself, one saves oneself.

A contrary example is when a patient knows his illness is serious and displays fear and restless anxiety — this is precisely the result of the manas believing the doctor's words. Because the manas is afraid, the body and mind change according to the manas's thoughts; when the manas relaxes, the material body also changes along with the manas. That is, the mind consciousness processes and transmits to the manas the information obtained from the doctor; the manas believes it and has thoughts; the eighth consciousness complies with the manas and manifests the material body's healthy or wretched condition.

If it is cursing someone, then the one who curses — his manas emits a kind of energy. The manas should have thoughts and wishes; his own tathāgatagarbha cooperates with the manas, and thus the cursed person fulfills the curse's wish.
