Most people think of “healing” as “fixing something”, like a doctor fixing a broken bone, or a psychic “healing” you. Some people who do healing get upset or invalidated when the healing “doesn’t work.” But it’s not really up to the “healer”. The healer only facilitates the change but is not in charge of it.
Healing is … the ability to create change.
Healing is really very simple. It’s the ability to create change. You know that in any given situation you can cause energy to move or to flow. If a person’s energy is not moving, it’s stuck; if it’s stuck, there’s a problem or some kind of blockage — whether it’s physical, emotional, spiritual, or whatever.
There’s a reason for this. We as Spirit are in charge of our own problems and issues. Everything that manifests on a physical level has a spiritual origin. Everything. This means that if you can see Spirit, and communicate on a Spirit to Body level, you can consciously cause change to occur. People also heal themselves unconsciously all the time, whether they believe it or not. It’s just that you have so much more awareness and choice when you do it consciously.
Sometimes you do a healing … and nothing changes.
Sometimes you do a healing on someone (you perhaps?) and nothing changes. It didn’t work. That’s because that person didn’t want the change. Maybe an angry person wants to remain angry. The anger gives that person an identity, a reason if things don’t work out the way he or she wanted. If there is no permission to affect a healing, nothing you do will make it happen. We all have free will, which includes refusing change.
A healing, or a change, can have profound impact. If an angry person is no longer angry, for example, their self-image has just shifted. The relationship with him-or-herself changes, the people s/he draws into life changes. An identity change can cause quite a bit of discomfort during the transition period. That’s why many people resist healing, resist change.
An identity change can cause quite a bit of discomfort….
I did a series of healings on a person who had been consistently depressed and angry for a good part of her life. That person didn’t want to change because it meant she would have to start taking responsibility for what she created in her life instead of blaming her parents, her upbringing, her religious programming, and “society” in general. Blaming had been a key crutch. It meant she would have to take an active part in changing instead of sitting back and being angry and feeling bad. She felt that she would be totally exposed to other people’s judgments about her if she started changing.
Finally, being in charge of her life became more important than any level of potential embarrassment, so she began to heal herself. That person was me, and those healings have continued ever since.
I once did a healing on a woman who had a tumor in her ear. Her doctor was planning surgery. I advised her to keep seeing her doctor, but on a spiritual level it was clear why she had the tumor. For years she had listened to everyone else’s advice about how to live her life, but right then she needed to make a decision about getting married. Her boyfriend was insistent, and this was creating enormous internal conflict.
This was her healing: her willingness to change.
Beneath everything, she didn’t really want to get married — she was just then opening up to a glimpse of her own independence. She was willing to have a healing, and all of that built-up external advice was moved out. Her tumor began to dissolve of its own accord. This was her healing: her willingness to change.
Your options are yours when you’re aware of your own Spirit-Body communication — and very healing! You’re not always ready for the change, but you know about your choices, and you can have healing when you’re ready.
