In my observing of self mosr dealing with problems had realy been a supression of symptoms and not a real healing. Jesus when he healed said 'go and sin no more' he knew that a 'falling away' into the same behavior would cause the problem to arise in more virulent form even. Healing will take place on all levels. If the mind is healed it can no longer be at dis-ease thus the body will degrade at a slower rate.
Not sure about reference to losing connection. I just write, I was not meaning to write all this, it just comes out, I have no idea what I am saying. Sometimes I go back and see some words that seem to contradict but I trust that the overall is more of a device than a singular word or phrase even and that it all comes from my higher place. At least it is higher than my thinking mind.
so connection.... one is always connected to source, one IS source so there is no separation. There is,however heavy clouding due to illusion whereby we cannot discriminate the connection. This gives illusion or effect of seperation. This is why we must practice or take refuge in order to tap into the higher source. At some point in our evolution we bring down the connection to higher self and become one this is called ascension also it is a descending of self however you want to label it.
