The Truth About Healing
April 17th, 2009 | 
Author: Living is easier, breathing is easier, and dying is easier when you remember who you are. This is healing; a sense of eternity no matter what! It is a feeling of oneness, a feeling of connection with your true spiritual nature. It is who you are. Life is life - all of it. “The “Good, Bad, and Ugly”, to borrow a phrase !!
Everything… breathing, loving, loss, change, transformation, understanding, compassion. Life is always changing, and dynamic, yet few things are assured. Connection is assured. It is a choice that you make. When connection is present, we are whole. We do not feel isolated, punished, victimized, alone, or threatened. We have the feeling of oneness with all, regardless of life outside of our heads.
Spiritual Amnesia
Life expressed through us is precious. And it is all about connection. Have you ever thought about that? Connection? My definition of spirituality which has evolved over my years as a holistic nurse, is that spirituality is a sense of connectedness to a Power and Presence that is Universal, a sense of connectedness to one’s self, and a sense of connectedness to others, and to nature. Our relationships are the vehicle for connection. How precious life becomes when see it through the eyes of connection. A hug from someone we love, children’s laughter, a sunset or sunrise, the seashore, the mountains, green grass, a bird’s first melody of spring, a red tail hawk, the eyes of a beloved one, all are opportunities to experience oneness or connection.
We often look for meaning and connection in material possessions, or food, drugs, alcohol, success, and another person. We mistakenly believe that it is always outside of ourselves, and therefore, often our search is outward. Material pleasures are not in and of themselves bad, but when we look to externals to give us this sense of connection, we only perceive emptiness and disconnection. Many religions and sacred scripture have said we are, “made in the image and likeness…”, and “…Be Still and Know.” If we could believe the truth of this profound advice, we would first look within for the eternal and lasting connection.
This connection survives death of your body. It is eternal. We forget, and the forgetting causes us pain and suffering. The nature of healing is creating connection. It is a free will to choose connection and experience connection until our very last moment of life, our last breath. We face our fear, refuse to stay in the feeling of disconnection, and choose love, compassion, and peace.
Healing only happens in the present moment and when connection is chosen over feelings of disconnection (created by fear, anger, sadness, hatred, and hostility), then healing results. It is important to remember, and to think again with an intention to seek connection? (don’t understand) Toxic emotions such as fear, hatred, and anger must be released, as those feelings can block our sense or perception of connection, even though it is always present from Source Energy.
Answering A Simple Question
Healing is a remembering and acknowledging connection, and begins with answering a simply phrased question. You may have heard parents demand of their arrogant child, “Who do you think you are?” And so, I ask you, “Who do you think you really are”? Do you think you are your mind? Do you think you are your physical body? Do you think you are your job? Do you think you are your role as a wife, husband, mother, father, lover, friend, brother, or sister? And so, I ask you again “Who do you think you are? What do you know for sure? Who made you? What is the name you give to the energy that created you?” And I don’t mean your mother or father.
Who Made You?
You are a spiritual being made in the image and likeness of creator energy. That is who you really are. It is the truth of you, the truth of your soul. Just as we say, we look like our Mother or Aunt Mary, or Uncle Harold, to what or whom do you give credit for your creation? Do you believe your spiritual nature is made in the image and likeness of a powerful Source Energy? Notice I do not suggest the name for Source Energy. I use the word Source Energy to allow you the freedom to choose your own word. M y name for the creator energy is God. But that is my personal choice.
In your alone moments, or those moments where your feel timeless, or when your mind shifts and you see and feel completely different about an experience or person, and you have no logical explanation, or when you have a sense of being part of something much bigger than yourself, ask yourself “What is that?” What is that energy that is present one moment before our last breath, and when our breath ceases, or we notice the energy that enlivened another has vanished? That is life force energy, our spirituality, and our spiritual eternal essence. Rainbows, the moon, sunrises and sunsets, the stars, the ocean, the mountains can trigger a moment of truth within. Connection with nature gives us the feeling and it is the feeling of healing.
The Stuff Outside Of Your Head
Regardless of what or whom you have lost in your life, or the condition or health of your body; healing can be experienced through connection. Inside of the feeling of connection is a sense of peace and that all is well. Inside of connection, all experiences, including death, are viewed as experiences whose nature is temporary and subject to interpretation. Usually we interpret our experiences through our filter of negative emotions based in fear. I read this acronym a long time ago that fear is false experiences appearing real. I do not remember the author. When you know in your heart the truth of you, then experiences steeped in fear disappear. Suffering disappears. Peace, love, and joy result when you remember and recognize you are eternal. This is the truth; all else is a lie.
Healing Is Not Earned
Healing is not doled out to deserving people, or earned. You already have it. Healing is waiting for you to give it expression in moments of connection. All of us have the capacity for healing and making the choice of connection. When you understand and know you are a spiritual person, and the truth of you is that you must have connection, then each moment is an opportunity to express your spiritual nature by seeking connection. Your sense of connection heals you and heals others, as it is a return or a homecoming through expression of Source energy, experienced by and through you. You can always experience connection. Always. It is a choice.
To heal is to proclaim, “I am a spiritual being who must have oneness, connection. I know I am capable of connection with or without a perfect or healthy body, or with a perfect and healthy body! Connection is the food my soul must have.” This affirmation is the antidote for the feeling,some express when they say, “something is missing,” or “isn’t there more to life?” There is nothing missing, but the core part of you has been forgotten. Your task is to be reunited with that aspect of yourself. You cannot die. Continue to seek healing in every moment that you take a breath. Your breath is your primal connection to Source energy. Our breath is our body and mind’s mechanism for connection to our spiritual essence and to Source energy. So breathe.
The Absolute Truth of Healing
Seek connection. Know who you really are. Regardless of the external circumstances or your life, or the condition of your body, create you life experience from connection instead of disconnection. Choose the feeling of healing hidden in the midst of negative experiences, and watch suffering disappear when you change your thought that it should be different, or you are being punished, or this is not fair. Breathe in love, peace, and joy in the midst of change and loss. Peace awaits you there. Recognize the negative feelings as connecting with fear instead of love and peace. There is no death of your spiritual essence. Proclaim in your heart who you are. Allow your light to shine. Do this in the midst of your fear. Remember. Remember. This choice is an act of surrender as well as an act of freedom from the false perception that most humans share of whom we believe ourselves to be. With your refusal to stay in disconnection of fear and suffering, each moment, regardless of the quantity, will be filled with a quality. This is the truth of creating healing. When this is your truth, and it resonates through you, healing and curing are possible. All is in divine right order and perfect.
Easier Said Then Done
I know that what I speak of is easier said than done, to use an old phrase. But when you analyze what I have said, your heart will let you know if you feel this is the truth of healing. Your heart is your body organ that perceives connection, thrives upon connection, and at the same times is the transmitter of connection. Our soul and our human heart are partners in connection, creating oneness with all. When reading or experiencing anything that I have suggested, notice how your heart feels. If anything does not resonate with your personal belief and truth, move on. Dismiss the information. But if your heart speaks to you, and you can hear and feel your heart proclaiming a resounding “yes”, I invite you to step on your healing journey. We are all walking our healing pathway. I will be walking mine. My life work is to create healing in my life, and to support you in creating healing in yours.
