What is Healing?

I know a rudimentary question, in which the answer might seem obvious but before we delve further into what it means to fully heal, first we must ask, what is dis-ease? What is dysfunction, what is illness?

The other day I wrote in my journal: If I am a spirit inside a body, then every step I take is Divine.

In the Western world we often look at illness as something wrong, like a machine that has to be fixed. Once we fix this little part, everything will be operating smoothly, but if you bring spirit into the equation, then we are so much more than a physical system, but made up equally if not far more so of an energetic body. This energetic body is perfect for how could it not be perfect – always flowing to and from source.

If we view the body as experiencing an energetic block, instead of something intrinsically wrong that needs to be fixed, the minute we unstop this block, energy flows smoothly once more and healing happens more rapidly. Just as you might remove leaves covering a gutter or debris inhibiting the flow of a stream, so too with our energetic body. The practitioner through practice knows how to demonstrate this openness through breathing and body awareness. As they demonstrate the infinite sea of being, the client is able to open up to this, match this frequency and the debris seems to magically melt away.

So, when we go back to the question what is healing? I’d say, it’s allowing the system to flow in harmony with itself – where the light of the infinite can shine in every crevice of self, it’s not contained to just one part. When we compartmentalize our lives, we are creating divisions within self, but if we view ourselves as divine beings, always channeling source, then no compartment is necessary. You can flow from work to family to leisure without any interruption or division of self.

A Scientific Point of View

In the book, The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot, this same concept is expressed from a scientific point of view. Often, we think of what we see, hear and feel as being just that. Even personality we take for granted, but in this book, using research from physicist David Bohm, and neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, among others, the author presents a world of holograms where the physical is not as solid as we believe. As Talbot writes on the first page in his introduction to the book, “…there is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it—from snowflakes to maple trees to falling stars and spinning electrons—are also only ghostly images, projections from a level of reality so beyond our own it is literally beyond both space and time.”

He goes on to theorize that if enough people believe something to be true, it will manifest into reality and present itself according to people’s beliefs. There were even studies done amongst cancer patients, where those who did visual exercises on a consistent basis, visualizing themselves as completely healthy, had a much higher recovery rate. Same with those given placebo drugs or even placebo surgery. There actually may be validity to the expression that many of us have heard in childhood that ghosts are real if you believe in them.

Mysterious Leg Pain Disappears After Feeling Emotions

Where does this leave us? That your mind is so much more powerful than you can even begin to imagine, and not just the conscious but subconscious as well – often couched in those very light niggling feelings that you unwittingly push away.

One of my favorite sessions was with a client who was struggling with mysterious leg and foot pain. He had been to podiatrists and other doctors and no one could figure out what was wrong. He came to me as a last resort.

We did our session over Zoom, which is another mystery in itself of how energy could be felt remotely. No matter how many remote sessions I do, this still astounds me and fills me with childlike delight.

The first part of the session, I had the client lie back and relax as I “worked” on the area of pain. The pain went down but wasn’t completely gone, so I began to lightly coach the client in feeling sensations that arose and easing gently into the sensations, rather than isolating and blocking the discomfort. Emotions started to bubble up and the client mentioned how he was furious at a former business partner who had been dishonest with him and cost him a lot of money.

I didn’t try to talk him out of his feelings or smooth it over, but simply had him feel whatever arose. Within a few minutes, the pain completely disappeared from his feet and legs. He was astounded and expressed that he was afraid the pain might return, so I had him feel this next and we ended the session with him feeling joyful, relaxed and pain free.

I did about two more sessions with him and he remained pain free for about a year. We’re now working together again in conjunction with doctor visits to rule out anything on the physical level. Doing energy work doesn’t need to eliminate working with modern science and doctors. We are more in charge of our realties than we would suspect, and can include in the session, the client figuring out the perfect solution with his doctor, for after all, it’s about the client, and not ridding him of his beliefs but working with the structures that exist for him in his current reality.

The Power of Visualization

Going back to the idea of visualization, it can create extraordinary results, but we also don’t ignore any resistances that show up. By acknowledging resistance and allowing it to be what it is, harmony is the result. In a way, we’re allowing all parts of the hologram to have its moment to shine on stage—we allow whatever shows up to dance, tip its hat, sing a song—and then here we are: the dancer and the dance, the singer and the song, the gentleman and the hat, and finally, the thing that appears to be in the way and the way itself.
