Greetings!
One day, I went to hear a talk on healing. Many in attendance were either healers or those who wanted to learn a healing art. The speaker had been a professional healer for some years. She gave a good presentation of the healing art which she practiced.
When her talk was over, people were welcomed to ask questions. A woman raised her hand. In a choking voice, she said she had been going to a known healer for over a year, but her pain remained. She wondered if she would ever feel better. The speaker was confident that she could help her, and asked the woman to make an appointment with her. Others joined in to talk to the woman. She did not talk about her illness or the cause of her pain.
I looked at the woman. Pain and frustration were written all over her face. My heart was filled with lots of compassion. She was hesitant to see another healer for she had gone to a known one. She had lost hope, and did not think she could be helped.
Suddenly, I opened my mouth. I said: "She (the known healer) cannot heal you because she has as yet healed from her own experience. You find comfort in seeing her because both of you had gone through similar experiences. She understands or is familiar with your pain, and that is why you keep going back for healing sessions." Immediately, tears flowed down her face. For a short while, I talked about forgiveness and letting go. When the gathering was over, she came to thank me. She wanted to see me for healing sessions. I gave her a hug. I told her to go to the speaker for healing sessions.
When we are in our human forms, sometimes we hold onto unwholesome feelings such as pain, sadness, and anger as if they are part of us. But, they are not! When we hold onto them, we end up getting sick physically.
I fully understand sometimes we feel powerless in releasing those unwholesome feelings, and we need help. (Oh, yes, I had been there many times.) In my own experiences, praying to the Divine really helps for the answers lie within. Of course, the willingness to be healed, and accept help however help may come are important in the process of healing.
Take responsibility of how we feel. Don't dwell on who gives me pain, who makes me angry, or who hurts me. One time, I felt pain over a dear one's angry and hurtful behavior. I thought I had tried my best to be loving and supportive. I said to myself 'I won't try anymore, I give up on this relationship'. For days, I dwelt on what happened. I was in a lot of pain. I finally asked my guides and angels for help. I heard
'you feel pain because you let pain be'.
It was quite an aha moment. I had forgotten that I was in control of how I felt, or how to react. I forgot that I was responsible for my own well being!
When similar situations happened again, I knew that it was his dis-ease. I took it with discernment. I looked at him with compassion for I knew it didn't feel good at all having those unwholesome feelings inside. It was his life, and he learned at his own pace.
With regard to healers, in my own opinion, every one who takes up the healing profession has his or her place in the journey of helping others. Doctors and nurses are healers too. For instance, healer X may be a conduit of healing for A, and healer Y for B. The known healer in the above case is probably a good healer who has helped many people. However, she is not the one for the woman above. As healers, we set our pure intention to serve, and leave the outcome in the hands of God. In "Ancient Memories" by Ronald Way, Jesus, seeing the sufferings of the world, said he would have healed everybody if it was up to him, but, it was up to God. Have faith that God knows what is best for us, and All Is Well.
Love yourself, and take responsibility of your own well being. Let God or the Love within shine through, and heal whatever needs to be healed.
Love and blessings,
