Here comes the sun and I said, “It’s Alright”. – The Beatles

Someone asked me at a community fair recently if spiritual healings are just for physical problems. The beauty of spiritual healings is they affect change on all levels. Different perhaps then a simple removing of symptoms, this type of healing goes to the core of an issue and affects change in one’s energy, consciousness, and ultimately, one’s life.

My analogy is when you plant a seed it takes root underground before manifesting as a particular plant above ground. Whatever you are experiencing in your life first took root on a deeper level; could be stemming from an old traumatic experience that was never totally released or a belief that came in at a young age that doesn’t serve your well being or even some energy brought in from a past life. This can show up present day on any level. It may appear in your life as a body issue or even an inability to manifest the kind of relationship or career you want. If you just remove the ‘symptoms’ without addressing the root cause, it will return again in the same or different form. Ever pull out a weed but don’t get all the roots? Then you know what I’m talking about – it sprouts right back up.

Picture a buoy. It is designed to float and has a built-in ability that propels it to the surface when it gets submerged. Life is designed to heal us; kind of a cosmic buoy. Whatever you do that doesn’t support your wholeness or isn’t in alignment with your purpose as a spiritual being, will surface as some challenge in your life. In Kabbalah, the term is Tikkun, which means correction. The universe, like any good parent, is directing us back onto our path of greatest transformation.

I was giving a healing to a woman at our weekly healing clinic at the Co-op the other day. She asked for a healing on her lungs and cough. I shared with her that I saw a lot of emotional congestion; regrets and past energies not released or forgiven. During the healing she coughed a lot which was unsettling for her. When we finished, she shared that often she notices with successful healings that she doesn’t cough at all while they are happening.

I responded that things sometimes appear to get worse before they get better. The tendency can be to resist or judge what is happening in that kind of situation, but it might be the means by which the blockage gets released. I don’t know what someone needs to experience before they can fully have a healing, but I trust that whatever is happening is perfect in the moment. As a healer, I know that ultimately the healing is out of my hands.

We can all be healers no matter the profession. The energy behind what you do affects everything and everyone around you. Infuse what you are doing with love. Spontaneously tell someone what you find beautiful about them. Give a smile to the person who looks like they just ate a sour lemon. Be the sun peeking through a cloudy day – maybe they walk away and become the sun to everyone else they encounter that day. Suddenly the world is a brighter place. If you need to be reminded of your sun-giving ability, come to the healing clinic for a tune-up or take a class to learn life changing tools to create a better world inside and out. Be of good cheer.
