VERY IMPORTANT POINTS REGARDING HEALING

We all possess the power to heal ourselves. And we also possess the power to make ourselves ill. Most people unconsciously do the latter. Therefore, it takes a conscious effort to become well again.

How do people unconsciously make themselves ill?

In a variety of ways. A common way is through negative thoughts. But don’t we all have these thoughts at one time or another? The key is in awareness. Because a fleeting thought isn’t generally powerful enough to effect damage. But if this fleeting thought is repeated over time, it will become harmful. For example, if a person constantly thinks to him/herself, “My parent had kidney disease so I’m genetically prone to it,” this becomes an affirmation that one is likely to get this disease.  But if we are aware that we have this recurring thought we can then change it. As simple as a thought may seem, there is GREAT POWER in what we think and what we say!

Another way is through fear. If one is fearful of say getting cancer, one actually makes oneself MORE SUCEPTIBLE to getting cancer than one who does not possess this fear. This seems to not make sense. For example, it seems as though if one is more fearful of getting cancer, then one would take measures NOT to get it, for instance, eating right and exercising. But these actions will NOT override the subconscious mind. Because the fear itself (negative energy) can counteract the most healthful regimen and cause one to contract the exact thing one is trying to avoid.

The Power of the MIND

Many people do not understand the power of positive thinking and affirmations.   Many people also don’t understand the principal of gratitude and giving back. There is a parable in the Bible where Jesus heals ten lepers.  After being healed, only ONE of the ten came back to say “thank you.” He was also the ONLY ONE that did not re-contract leprosy. Therefore, the other nine were only TEMPORARILY healed. Why did leprosy come back to the nine? Because their MINDS had not changed! And even though their bodies were healed, their selfishness and ungratefulness (plus whatever other qualities caused them to be susceptible to the disease in the first place) had not changed. Therefore, their OWN MIND overrode the healing of their bodies and made it so they became ill again. I would suffice it to say there are many many people who subconsciously believe they DESERVE to be ill! They are unconsciously punishing themselves and until this fact is recognized, they will NEVER be able to experience permanent healing. Are you in any of the above categories?

BREAKING THE CYCLE

Everybody has been negatively programmed to a certain extent. The good news is that the world is in a state where humankind is just now beginning to experience its divinity and understand its power. People are becoming more loving and more aware. But most of us have to act to consciously break the negative programming we’ve been exposed to. How do we do this? An effective way is through a combination of affirmation, prayer, and meditation. Visualization is also extremely powerful.

Affirmation: Positive statements repeated often. For example, “I am healthy.”

Prayer: Talking to the Universal Creator. Remember, you CAME from this source and you will eventually return to it, regardless of what you may believe. And this source is the most LOVING, NONJUDGMENTAL energy in existence. Forget what “religion” may have taught you! This source LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY and WANTS you to become well again. If you are a parent, you can understand this feeling if you’ve ever had a child that was ill. And this is only a watered-down expression of the infinite and indescribable love of the Divine. Prayer then is an action that helps one to establish a direct and PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with the Creator.  It is not simply requesting something over and over. This is because the Creator knows what you need before you ask. Would you repeat the same words over and over when talking with a friend?

Meditation: Listening to the Universal Creator. This is more important than prayer. Why? Because through deep meditation one becomes reintroduced to their True Self. I say reintroduced because it is always there, but hidden by the veil of the mind. Through meditation one comes to understand the deeper meanings of things and the answer to all the ‘why’ questions you may have. Although it may not be easy to get into at first, once the ’connection’ is made, it will grow easily with practice. As Jesus, a master healer put it, “it is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.” (Luke 13:20 NIV). This connection will help you to make good decisions and to seemingly be in the right places at the right times. This is also called ‘being in the flow.’ It will also tell you (if you really want to know) if your illness is karmic, and what you need to learn through it, if anything. Sometimes, getting better is not possible because it is time for one to pass on. It has been said that those who are in tune are alerted 14 days before they are to die. This is a beautiful thing, to be able to prepare for the next leg of your journey rather than being surprised by it. Regular meditation is like medicine (notice they share the same root).  And it is necessary, not optional, for one not only to remain healthy, but to be able to live life to the fullest and to fulfill the purpose for which you came here.

These three:  affirmation, prayer and meditation help one to achieve FAITH. Faith can be described in many ways, but a simple way of putting it is, the belief in something that you have no actual proof of. So faith will tell you that you are well and thriving, while you may be lying up in a sickbed. How many people have lived long and eventful lives after being told they had “two weeks to live!”  Faith will tell you you are wealthy even when you only see $5.00 in your bank account.  And it will help to sharpen the subconscious mind.  When you are able to believe what you are not able to see with the physical eyes, you are able to manifest things you want into your life. And faith helps one to be effective in visualizing, an extremely powerful technique that won’t be mentioned in this article. However, you are encouraged to seek out more information on this.

To summarize, YOU have complete control over your destiny. But the larger, REAL you, not the mind and body which most people mistakenly believe are you.  If you get into contact with this real you through the techniques described above, you won’t ever be ill or off-balance. Before you seek healing from anybody outside of yourself, you must BELIEVE you can be well, be THANKFUL for any help you get (especially if it’s free or charitable), and have FAITH that you will be well, or that the Creator has your BEST INTEREST at heart no matter what the outcome.  GRATITUDE is essential, so a simple "thank you" goes much farther than one may imagine! And you must also GIVE something, which does not have to be money, in return. This is an important universal law which also dictates that the more you give the more you will receive. Know that even a simple prayer for your healer will suffice.
