Nobody said healing was easy

Category: Religion and Philosophy

Ah Grandmother Moon looked so beautiful tonight as we journeyed into

her halls to bring back healing and light to Mother Earth. Such a

delight to ride her silvery beams up into the night sky.

I've been thinking about healing a lot lately and the topic came up

tonight after ceremony so I thought I'd work out a few things here.

You see, I'm realizing that I need to own up to the fact that I am a

healer. I have been attuned to Reiki for over a year now but beyond

that I've always been sought out by friends when they were feeling

bad because I could always make them feel better. It was draining on

me because I didn't know how much I was taking on their pain and

giving up my energy. It's hard to be a healer when you don't know

what you are doing. I ended up being a kind of a hermit and still

haven't quite grown out of it. But, one day at a time.

One of my dearest friends one day called me and asked me to pray for

her family and told me what was going on. She said she didn't mind

telling me because she knew I wouldn't go into fear and that I would

pray and send Reiki. I felt honored that she recognized my growth

enough to know that I could hold that kind of space even knowing what

was going on. That's a very important trait in a healer. As healers

we can't go into fear or take on pain from hearing of a situation. If

we do, we feed that situation and can seriously impact the healing of

the person. It isn't easy and people may even think that it is cold

hearted to not give in to the feelings, but when you are a healer,

someone is depending on you to hold that healing energy for them and

not give into dark emotions.

I think the first time I realized the importance of this principle

was when my dear friend Jurene put out a prayer request. She had said

to pray for this beautiful lady (I think her name was Shyloh but I'd

have to get Jurene to validate for me). The request basically said

that she was in a horrible accident and was given 24 hours to live.

Yet for some reason (likely because it wasn't someone I knew but also

I think we were told she was a Reiki Master hersefl) I didn't go into

fear or the " Oh My God, that is so horrible, that poor thing…. " .

Instead I sat down and connected with the ONE HEART and just knew

that she would be just fine and I sent Reiki and prayers with the

full knowing that everything would be fine. I believe that we got a

bulletin shortly after that she was just fine and her healing had

astounded her doctors. That moment will sit with me for a very long

time as it was the first moment I truly was a healer. I truly put

aside all fear, despair, and sadness and instead I faced the

situation with full faith and knowledge that all would be well.

And so it was with my wonderful friend Lee who we all saw go through

the bout of Valley Fever. The doctors said there was no way she would

be where she is today nearly 100% again and yet here she is. It is

because she didn't go into fear and she had a large base of friends

here who didn't either. There was no doubt she would be right as rain

again in many of our eyes here and I gotta tell you there are some

amazingly strong healers here. Some of them don't even realize it,

but their faith pulls them through. Just as Lee's faith pulled her

through. If you don't know about Valley Fever, check out my friend's

list and go to the Valley Fever Awareness page. You read about

something like that and it is hard not to go into fear. But as

healers, we can't do that. We have to hold our heads up and fill up

with LOVE from the ONE HEART and forge ahead.

I've got so many friends right now facing adversity of one type or

another and I know that the best I can do for them is to not fear for

their future, but to LOVE them right NOW. I can't feel sorry for them

for I know that it won't help them. Instead I have to just support

them and send them all of the LOVE that I have in my heart. And since

I share the ONE HEART with all creation, that's a lot of LOVE! It is

a struggle every day not to go into the fear and despair, but I know

that since I decided to be a healer and I decided that I want to make

a difference in service to others that I have to be strong and hold

on to LOVE for them. Because they only way they can heal is if

someone is holding on to LOVE while they get to feel and honor the

emotions that they are feeling. Once they are able to face their

emotions and heal themselves, they can heal their situation. But they

can heal so much faster if we as healers can hold on to hope and LOVE

for them.

But don't let this stop you from stepping up and taking your place as

a healer. You may think it sounds lonely and who will be there for me

if I am there for everyone else. But you know what? I am there for

you, and so are all of the other healers. We are here to support each

other. If your burden becomes too dense and you need a helping hand,

just reach out and I'll be there to help lift you back up. If you

find that you've lost hope, look into eyes and see that hope is

always there. If you find that you can no longer feel the LOVE,

search in our ONE HEART and you shall never feel lack again. The

healers of this planet are a part of the Christ Consciousness, we are

all connected as ONE as we heal the Mother Earth and all beings upon

her. We are your Brothers and Sisters and are always here to support

you, just as you are here to support us.

I sit in gratitude for my medicine woman Sprit Wind for teaching me

what it is to be a healer and what it is to be in right relations

with all beings. I pray that I only speak the truth of her

teachings. I give thanks to all of my fellow healers for their

support as I learned these important lessons. I give thanks to all

beings who have ever touched my life for each interaction has helped

me to be my true self right NOW. I sit here a man blessed with Grace,

Hope, and LOVE.

I greet you from within the ONE HEART. I am a healer but know that

the greatest healing comes from within by connecting to this ONE

HEART. You are perfect just as you are right NOW, perfect in life,

health, and LOVE. I LOVE YOU.
