When we find ourselves in the grip of anxiety, it’s crucial to understand that this state can hinder our own healing process. This tangible stress acts as a barrier, preventing us from relaxing enough to initiate the healing of our dilemma. Moreover, our stress levels can cloud our understanding, making it difficult to fully absorb the value of what we are hearing.
Healing is an inside job, period. This became clearer to me recently when someone I love questioned me about some techniques I gave her, one of which was to create light within her body. She told me she was “sending light” to herself by visualizing light coming from outside her from a Divine Source outside of oneself, which is always a good thing. What could be wrong with this prayer? I had obviously not been clear enough in my description.
Let me preface this with the understanding that at birth, the first breath of life is breathed into us, and that last breath departs when our body, our vehicle, no longer serves a purpose. That is our connection with Divinity. These techniques are simple because that is what I need for my own understanding. I want to make it easy for myself and those I teach and make use of what is in our physical world.
Imagine a stadium light, which is the brightest light I know in my world. Imagine this light within the core of your being just being dormant. Place your fingers beside your ear and snap them, snapping that light switch, turning on that healing light that spreads throughout your body, filling every cell as it radiates further and further into every crevice of your body. Feeling that God Love, that God Light is now going beyond your physical body, beyond your spiritual body, healing not only you but the planet. Anytime you think of this exercise, you can snap your fingers beside your ear and hear that light switch turn on. Now, you can affect your own healing process and, in so doing, become more proficient in serving as an ambassador of God.
The spiritual ethics of healing are as follows: A person can send healing light on behalf of others, but ultimately, the distressed individual, at a soul level, can choose to accept healing or not. We, as healers, do not know the ‘soul contract’ of the individual. It is not our business to see the outcome; it is our business to send love and caring. Maybe all we can do is ease pain or let them know they are not alone; the effort is never wasted. Giving individuals the tools they need may or may not do the job, but those tools help awareness expand and will never be lost. Healing always occurs.
