TRUE HEALING IS THE REALIZATION THAT THERE WAS Never anything TO HEAL in the first place
The principle of healing, be that physical, mental, emotional or vibrational, is that there never was and never is anything to heal in the first place.
I realize that may sound like a paradox, especially coming from someone who has worked in the “healing industry” for over a decade, but the truth is, I have never called myself a “healer”.
Healing implies that there is something to fix within the individual seeking healing, but the quintessential nature of every human being, is vibrant life force energy expressing itself in the fullness of health and wellness. So if anything, healing is merely a return to that original state of being.
Seekers of healing are often focused on what they perceive to be wrong within their body, mind and emotions. Much time, money and valuable energy can be spent on these perceived “wrongs”.
The key here is that the perceived “wrongs” of illness, and dis-ease are simply experiences, and experiences are not permanent states of being. These experiences of illness and disease are changing expressions of impermanent imbalances, disruptions or blockages of the natural, vibrant energy that sustains all life.
When people identify with these experiences of imbalance and forget their natural way of expressing health and vitality, they can form chronic conditions of pain, illness and disease that they can sometimes mistake as their permanent state of being. In doing so, they essentially cut themselves off from this ever flowing source of life force energy that brings about the very “healing” mechanisms that they seek.
Healing is really more of an allowing, it’s a stepping out of the way of the innate wisdom within the body/mind, allowing it to organize its myriad of functions that create balance, equanimity and harmony and flow.
REMEMBER YOUR ESSENTIAL NATURE
Your essential nature is energy. Some people call that energy: God, Source Energy, Universal Intelligence, The Unified Field, Consciousness, Spirit. It doesn’t matter what you call it, that energy and its infinite combination of waves, particles, atoms, molecules and cells is what forms YOU. This energy is your whole and complete essential nature. It is the same energy that the earth, moon, sun and entire universe is made up of!
Returning to your essential nature requires your attention to be focused on the vital life force within you NOT on whatever you perceive to be the “wrong”. It is an act of remembering your “rightness”, your innate perfection, the precise and unique architecture of your exquisitely intricate mind and body.
This returning to your essential nature involves trusting your body and mind. Do you consciously tell your autonomic nervous system to activate all of the physiological processes involved in digestion? Do you tell your pancreas to excrete the insulin required to allow glucose into the cell for energy consumption? No, you trust the innate wisdom of your body/mind to do this naturally.
Healing is surrendering with confidence, to your natural ability to find balance. On the physical level, its called homeostasis – the body’s natural ability to return to a state of cellular equilibrium. On the mental/emotional level its called letting go and returning to your natural state of peace and harmony.
RE-FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION
You may have heard it said “Where your attention goes, your energy flows” which means that whatever your attention is focused upon, e.g. what you perceive as being wrong, or right, will increase.
On the emotional level, focusing on things to be grateful for and the things that we can appreciate about our life, actually release our good feeling hormones, endorphin’s. So not only does the practice of gratitude redirect our attention and energy away from our perceived “wrongs”, it also gives us a chemical boost that enhances our ability to feel good, which in turn, promotes healing mechanisms within our body and mind.
BE CONSCIOUSLY AWARE
Although healing is first about remembering your essential nature and then letting go and surrendering to this vital life force within you it is NOT about being unconscious of the process.
Many would say that consciousness IS healing, and this state of conscious awareness can then guide you to intuitively take any necessary actions that may promote and assist you and your body/mind to come back home to wholeness and health. The key here is that YOU are the life force energy that guides this process.
AREAS YOUR INNER HEALER MAY GUIDE YOU TO
Some areas of health that you may intuitively feel require your attention could be:
- Nutrition and hydration
- Movement/exercise
- Emotional outlets
- Psychological processing/Psychotherapy
- Massage/bodywork
- Talking therapy/Counseling/coaching
- Meditation/Breath-work
- Forgiveness/Releasing Fear
The invitation is to trust your inner healer and the guidance that you get through your thoughts, feelings and senses and let them lead the way to the full expression of your health and well being
Your natural state of being is radiant, vital, flowing life force energy and healing is simply a returning, a reconnecting to your natural state. So from this perspective, there is nothing to, and never was anything to heal….it’s simply a matter of remembering who and what you already are!
