Re: Who is a Healer? What is Healing?

[Guest guest]

This is brilliant Ali! So beautiful, and I agree all the way. I believe we all harness an incredible ability to heal. Just like Jesus could heal, so can we. We all have our different gifts and tools. Some can sing, write, play instruments, paint, photograph. Not only does the observer of the finished art receive healing, so does the creator. And yes, a smile is one of the most healing gifts we can offer our brothers and sisters everywhere! It's showing that we recognize that person, and we're offering a loving piece of ourselves to them. It's always a special moment when you know you've offered another such a gift, and they have returned it back with sincerity. Thank you for such a beautifully insightful post Ali dear. So many people doubt their healing abilities, but we do all have them. We just need to find the right outlet in order to use them to the best of our ability. What a boring world this would be if we all did things the same. What a sad world this would be if we relied on all outside influence to do our healing for us. We are beings of light. We are pillars of energy. Our physical bodies are just a temple we dwell in, and with the right tools we can remodel our temples. I love you Ali, and big special loving hug to you!Stef>> > > > > > > Who is a Healer?

Dearest Ali,

I am not sure if you can imagine the impact this truthtelling

of healing and being a healer has had a massive impact on me and my

life! The feelings that I felt inside seemed to be put so succinctly

in this amazing post. I have shared it with many. You have a

talent, my friend! Your words are as graceful, knowledgable and

wondrous as you are sweetie! I can truly say that I feel such a

peace inside my heart when I read this for I felt somewhat alone. I

know I have all of my wonderful family here, especially my e-mama's,

hehe and my sisters but you know those times when you are alone with

your thoughts and you let other's opinions creep in when you

definitely don't want those opinions there. It is not to say that if

someone does not agree with me, they are just plain wrong, no...I

feel that there needs to be at least some understanding of special

gifts as healers that hopefully our loved ones can understand, does

this make sense? It is all kind of jumbled in my head.

I guess in short, dear I am trying to say that this message of

healers and healing brought me just that, inner healing for the part

of me that felt misunderstood or took others opinions on as personal

jabs at me in my personal life. I think that is a bit clearer?

I just love this and wanted you to know that!! I have emailed this,

posted it in bulletins on myspace, a beautiful friend sent it to me

in an email and it is just so amazing. Thank you from the bottom of

my heart of hearts, my dear e-mama. You truly are a gift to me and

this family/group!! *bow of utmost respect* Namaste, LUNA
