It is within us to explore and draw upon our inner resources to heal. Some wounds are embedded so deeply that no amount of professional expertise can cure, much less heal.

A famous Yale surgeon says that as a surgeon, he cuts into the body, but he can not order the wound to heal. Ultimately, it through our efforts that healing can occur.

The path to healing is a personal choice. It is a path where you choose to piece together the fragments and make it” whole” again. It paves the way to self-discovery, to open the door to your inner self and experience inner harmony. And ultimately, come to meet the child within that has longed for your love, care and attention. The child within that is forgotten, pushed to the background, lurks in the shadows, but waits patiently.

What needs healing?

Childhood trauma:

The imprint of childhood experience is a powerful force. An expectant mother who lives through a stressful situation during pregnancy shares the burden with the unborn child.

Years ago, domestic matters were never discussed openly, especially issues about abuse, violence, neglect, abandonment and other related matters. Today, society is more aware of the potential or actual existence of abuse and violence in the home. Tragic that the innermost and safest sanctuary society depends upon can be the most dangerous.

These are issues that take its toll on the young victims. They grow up with wounds, carry them around like a heavy load on their shoulders. Some never get over their trauma, it turns up at the most unexpected moment to haunt them; yet, there are those who are lucky enough to confront it and use it to propel themselves to a healthier and successful relationships and life itself.

When love is a venom:

How many hearts have known pain all in the name of love. It invades lives from all walks of life, social status, add to that race or creed. No one wants to suffer pain, but it does happen. Healing a broken heart, picking up the pieces of broken hopes and dreams, suffer the betrayal, endure shattered self-image, re-live the haunting nightmares, the violation of one’s innermost being, soul and spirit.

The most traumatic of all is the violation that comes from those who are supposed to provide a nurturing environment to those who are entrusted to their care. All in the guise of love.

Grief

The loss of a loved one can be most devastating. Sometimes one did not have a chance to bid their last farewell. It was all too sudden. Or one passes away after a lingering illness, with the relief that the suffering is over comes the grief of the loss. At one point and time in one’s life, grief is a reality.

Guilt

Wrong turns, wrong choices, wrong decisions. We all take wrong turns, make wrong decisions and choices. This is a human trait that not even the saintliest of the saints has not experienced. We stumble, we fall, but many of us manage to get up and get on with life. The losses incurred at times are life-threatening, or at the cost of financial comfort and security or worst, relationships are threatened, lost or innocently or unconsciously sacrificed.

Wearing guilt on your face, in your heart, in your being invites negative vibrations and digs you deeper into the mire. Take a look at those sad eyes, the window of the soul, and you’ll know. However, this is not a dead-end!

Unfulfilled dreams and hopes

Live your dream,ride on the wings of hope; this will not always work out. One day you wake up and realize your dream never materialized and languish over the many years you spent trying to pursue that dream! In the meantime, time, opportunities and life passed you by. Hope can lead to disappointment- realize this. When all hopes are dashed, what have you got?

Path to healing:

Healing is a complex matter.

Who has never felt the pains of suffering, be it physical, mental, emotional, material and spiritual. Even our dear Mother Earth is in desperate need of healing from the abuse inflicted upon her through man’s recklessness, negligence and lack of respect.

There are avenues open to healing. One may choose to spend time with a professional, seek comfort from related groups, but always, healing has to start with one.

It is important to acknowledge the pain, to recognize the cause, to be able to integrate the fragmented pieces and be willing to take it to the next step to be “whole”again.

Healing extends beyond the physical state- when one hurts deeply, the spirit; the soul also bears the pain. It is a pain that comes in hauntingly in the dark of the night, it fills a once loving heart with venom, it could ravage a once healthy mind and body beneath a once beautiful and graceful soul is the mask of vengeance.

Blocks to healing:

But, sometimes, the path to healing is full of potholes. Indeed, the path is covered with blocks, where healing can not be accomplished, it almost out of reach. Impediments on the path:denial, apathy, self-absorption and self-indulgence, addiction, putting up walls and barriers, busy-bee syndrome, compartmentalizing, isolation, withdrawal from society, cynicism, loss of faith, trust and compassion, self-pity, poor –me syndrome, anger, fear of getting hurt again, martyr complex, neurosis or psychosis, aggressive/ oppressive, confrontational, guilt complex,resignation

Disclaimer:

Sometimes, we hurt those we love most deeply; likewise, we bear the pain they cause. This is a personal essay, it does not in any way deny the importance of seeking professional help when indicated. However, it is acknowledged that one must want to heal, must understand what needs healing, must be willing to accept the need to heal – all the expert advise and professional help can not be effective otherwise.

Original post: Path To Healing

My life has been in such an incredible mode of shifting and changing; at times it feels like the only constant thing occurring is change. Why is this happening? Why is there such a great need to shift so rapidly? And how do I stay on top of all this change?

I am very grateful for the gift of Surrender. I think, in fact I know that without this gift, staying sane and balanced energetically would be very challenging. There have been days where nothing has made any sense, days where I have felt overwhelmed by the lack of financial flow, days where life’s heaviness has been just too much to bear, days where my self-judgment of not being good enough brought on a great depth of sadness. On the flip side there have been days where I have felt incredible peace and bliss, where there has been a feeling of oneness and unconditional love, days of lightness and joy, days of experiencing deep compassion for the heart of humanity.

Learning to surrender on my heavy days has been a journey in itself! In the beginning I didn’t feel very much lightness after surrendering all the emotions and thoughts that are inconsistent with the feeling of unconditional love. I am grateful for the gentle but consistent reminders by the masters to keep surrendering regardless. As I have been consistent with surrendering all emotions and thoughts inconsistent with love, I began to feel the lightness of being. It felt like a release was taking place each time I surrendered. I started to experience energetic shifts occurring every few days.

Then came the deluge of emotions and erratic thoughts. The masters tell me that this is one of the stages in the process of releasing. Mind you this was a very uncomfortable stage. Great sadness, anger, frustration, self-pity and guilt started surfacing to be released. There were many times and there are still times where I lose the plot and begin to process the emotions or thoughts that have surfaced to be released. Or worse yet, I go into the emotions and start creating more of it.

With a gentle nudge from the divine, I see what I am doing and surrender the emotion. With the surrender come the release and the lightness. A feeling of bliss and love now follows the lightness. This constant state of releasing on the internal has to see its corresponding change on the external. Now the challenge seems to be to stay on top of all the external changes. I have to keep reminding myself to stay focused on surrendering and releasing as the external changes occur and to trust that the solutions will present themselves to me.

The masters say, “Be still and allow all things to come to you.” I believe this stage too will be a great journey!

May Peace Become Your Mainstay And Clarity Your Guiding Light.

Dogs are man’s best friend. Always loyal and ever loving, this trait has made canines an integral and common part of what is fast becoming a common mode of therapy in many health care facilities. Not just dogs but animals in general have long been recognized as having a positive effect on the healing process. Dogs, especially, have a calming effect.

These dogs help people cope with emotional issues, offer physical contact, invoke pleasant memories and they divert a person’s focus from the problems of the day. That’s why they’ve been used to great success as helpers for those people who are in therapy. Dogs are specially trained for their jobs of helping to take care of the sick, the elderly or the infirm.

Currently there are three types of therapy dogs:

a) Facility Therapy Dogs

b) Animal-Assisted Therapy Dogs

c) Therapeutic Visitation Dogs

The first two types assist physical therapists by meeting the requirements for a person’s recovery. They are usually found in hospitals and are permanently assigned there. The most common type of therapeutic dog, however, is the third type.

Therapeutic visitation dogs are ordinary pets whose owners take to hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. These dogs help people who are away from home due to mental or physical illness. These people are usually in a highly stressful or depressing environment and a visit from a therapy dog can always brighten their day and help them deal with their problems.

Through their bright example, these dogs help the people they meet maintain a positive attitude. This positive outlook is important in good health, happiness and staying young. Pets also provide a chance for patients to touch and be touched. This gives the patients a chance to express their need for physical contact, a need that doctors have proven as a very important factor in a patient’s psychological health.

This is integral in helping people maintain a better mental standing on their condition. This and the ever-loving nature of dogs make them perfect cures to depression that often plagues many patients and residents of nursing homes and hospitals.

It’s very difficult to accurately measure how positive an effect these dogs have on patients. But all you have to do to see that they’re doing their job is a happy smile on a patient’s face when they’re in the company of one of these amazing healing hounds.

There are many great healing scriptures. Sometimes, however, you run across one that you have not seen before. Or if you have seen it, God simply has not yet quickened it (made it come alive) for you. Then he quickens it for you and you see complete new revelations in it that you have never seen before. Isaiah reveals one of these hidden, healing Scriptures to us.

Isa 57:19

I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him. (KJV)

Who is the person who is afar off? Who is the person who is near? To answer the above question, we must understand the same identical words, terms and/or phrases that are used to describe the Abrahamic Seed Group in the Old Testament (the saved Jews) also describe the Abrahamic Seed Group in the New Testament (the saved Jews with saved Gentile Christians grafted in.)

(We call the Abrahamic Seed Group Jews in the Old Testament, but we call them Christians in the Old Testament.)

This is the same identical group of people in both Testaments. In the New, however, Gentile Christians are simply grafted into the Old Testament Group.) Because of this Gentile Christian grafting, the same words, terms and /or descriptive phrases are used to describe the same Abrahamic Seed Group in both Testaments.

One of the words, terms and/or descriptive phrases used to identify the Abrahamic Seed Group in the Old Testament was the expression near. Conversely, the Gentiles in the Old Testament were referred to as far off.

This resulted in the existence of two distinct groups of people in the Old Testament era. Saved Jews composed the first group, the near group. Unsaved Gentiles made up the second group, the far group.

Keep in mind as we progress here, that healing belongs only to the near group. It did not belong to the Gentile far group until Jesus becomes the peace between the two groups.

Also remember in our verse above, Isa 57:19, that we are watching closely just two terms: near and far. Again, the person near is the Jew in the Old Testament. The person who is far off is the Gentile in the Old Testament.

These same two terms (near and far off) are also used by Paul in the New Testament in Ephesians. But here we see Gentile Christians transferred from the far off group into the near group by grafting.

Eph 2:13-14

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle (KJV)

In other words, the blood of Christ, when accepted by Gentiles, forces an instantaneous, supernatural transfer of us Gentiles from one group to the other. We are supernaturally snatched from the far off group and supernaturally place equally into the near group!

Now during the Christian era, these two groups, the far off and the near, are merged into just one group, the near group. From Jesus’ death onward, Gentiles who receive Christ are grafted into the near group right along with the saved Jews. Furthermore, we Gentile Christians stand in this group on an equal footing with the Jews and we participate in the Abrahamic blessing of healing.

We both now make up the near group, known as the Abrahamic Seed Group and are both promised healing from the hand of God.

The point is this; God will now heal the far off person as well as the near person because we Gentile Christians are no longer far off. We Gentile Christian have been brought into the near group by grafting.

No wonder Isaiah 57:19 said above, “I will heal him.” Why not? God promised healing in the Abrahamic covenant to both Jew and Gentile. No wonder Isaiah saw this and recorded it for us.

Now you can see that Christian healing traces its roots to the Old Testament and to the Jews themselves.

Learn the terms, words, and/or descriptive phrases of the Abrahamic Seed Group in both Testaments and you will have an understanding of what belongs to you that you never had before.

Excerpt from: Healing With Homeopathy

Energy healing is a very widely used term for any form of healing which balances, rejuvenates, or restores the levels of energy in the body. The principles of energy healing are rooted in the belief that in addition to biological and bio-chemical systems, the human body consists of a system of subtle energies. Most often referred to in the West as universal life energy or bio-energy it is referred to as various names among other cultures; in India it is known as prana, the Japanese know it as qi; in Hebrew it is called ruah, the Chinese refer to it as ki, in Hawaii it is referred to as mana or ti.

Energy healers believe that this universal energy flows through the body in recognizable patterns. This energy extends beyond the surface of the body and creates an energy field, also known as an aura or bio-field. When an individual’s energy patterns are balanced and free flowing, a healthy life can be enjoyed. When the energy field becomes disrupted, weakened or blocked, however, the symptoms of physical and emotional damage can occur. Prolonged disturbances in an individual’s energy field can lead to chronic pain, disease and emotional disturbances.

Many mainstream health systems have employed the life energy principle within their healing methods. Well known healing techniques such as chiropractic healing, shiatsu massage, acupuncture, osteopathy, acupressure, naturopathy, reiki, touch therapy and several others, employ various forms of energy field or life force principles in the treatment and diagnosis of patients. Traditional health care providers increasingly offer these healing techniques as a compliment to orthodox medical care.

Energy healing works by reconfiguring the energy that exists within and around all living things. Energy manipulation performed by a practitioner corrects imbalances and blockages in the flow of life energies through the body. The reconfiguring of life energy is commonly performed with the hands, in some cases it is carried out remotely. Life energy also acts as a catalyst to accelerate the natural healing process of the body. When life energy is applied to the unhealthy part of the body the rate of recovery or healing is increased.

Practices such as, qi-gong, tai-chi, yoga and focused meditation also involve the perception, manipulation and direction of universal life energy within the body. Additionally, thought field therapy incorporates similar methods for establishing and maintaining emotional well being.

Does Energy Healing Really Work?

The thousands of energy healing recipients who have benefited from the practice would answer in the affirmative. Is there any scientific data to back up these claims? Admittedly, energy healing techniques have not been the focus of a great deal of government funded research; however, the studies hat have been performed lend credibility to the effectiveness of this method of healing.

For instance, the medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine published a review of clinical trials concerning various types of alternative healing methods. Energy healing was found to be the most effective practice, producing statistically significant results in 65 percent of the test subjects.

To put this finding into perspective, many drugs in use today fail to achieve a response rate higher than 50 percent in clinical trials.

One of the most complete studies of research showing the effectiveness of energy healing comes from psychiatrist, Dr. Daniel J. Benor. Dr. Benor surveyed all such research and studies made prior to 1990. They consisted of research performed on, cells, yeasts, bacteria, enzymes, plants, animals and humans. Of the 131 controlled experiments on spiritual, psychic, prayer or psi healing, over 50% showed statistically significant results. In 56 of the studies performed, there was less than a 1 in a 100 possibility that positive results were due to chance.

Perhaps the most significant evidence of the effectiveness of energy healing techniques stems from the growing number of people seeking such treatments. It is doubtful that a practice with limited benefits would continue to attract so much interest.

“The whole world is medicine, what is the illness?”

When some people suffer they take medication, others seek therapy, a few become students of Zen. Although much has been made of the connections between Zen and psychology, to really understand Zen healing, it is also necessary to be aware of what healing means psychologically. From the psychological point of view, emotional pain is a message from the unconscious that conflict has arisen, defenses are weakening. A patient coming to the therapist asking, “Is this all there is- could be seen as depressed, obsess ional, at the very least in real trouble.

In Zen practice this very same question is considered to be symptomatic of health. Students are told to dwell on this question continually. The question is called a koan and helps burst the bubble of illusion we live in. From the Zen point of view, all beings are ill. They are in the grip of three poisons – greed, anger and delusion (ignorance). However, by seeing these afflictions for what they are, by not chasing after them or making them real, they can break the hold they have upon our lives. By asking, “Is this all there is?” they are breaking through the limitations they live with, finding a way out of their usual responses.

From the psychological point of view, suffering arises when desire cannot be satisfied. We then must seek healthy ways to meet our needs. The deeper question of whether these so-called needs are good for us, whether we actually need them, or whether they are poisons in disguise is not taken into account.

From the Zen point of view, greed is insatiable. No matter how much we have, we want more. We truly need little, but craving develops, along with attachment and addiction. In this way most of our lives are spent accumulating goods, people, credentials, etc. Then we cling to what we have; often it becomes our identity, and we become fearful of losing it. Our precious life energy is thus used up, chasing after that which we do not need and which causes pain.

Attachment causes suffering. No matter how tightly we grasp what we have, life gives and then takes away. As we embark upon Zen practice, we learn how to let go, receive anew, and become grateful for whatever life brings. We also learn to become aware of our true needs and unnecessary wants. We do not spend as much time chasing, seeking and yearning for that which will never satisfy. Instead we learn how to become fully planted in the present moment and be able to fully taste, digest and appreciate whatever life brings our way.

Zen healing is not much interested in personality. Its sights are set on a different realm. Instead, when a person comes to the Zen Center they’re told to take off their shoes and place them carefully on the wooden shoe rack carefully. They are to “Pay attention to what they’re doing. Sloppy shoes, sloppy mind.”

For Zen the quality of even the smallest act is of enormous importance. Rather than spin out daydreams and analyze them, rather than grab for personal attention, individuals are instructed to pay close attention, moment by moment, to whatever they are doing right now. Feelings and thoughts which come and go are like the wind. They aren’t taken seriously. The student is asked to stop reacting mindlessly and automatically to everything that comes along. Instead of developing a fancy personality, he develops awareness and patience.

“But I’m hurting,” a student might protest.

“If you hurt, you hurt. If you don’t, you don’t,” the Zen Master might reply.

“But I want to know why,” the student might insist.

“None of that will do you any good,” the Zen Master would explain. “Just pay attention to each moment, pay attention. your breath. ”

“But how will this help my misery?”

“Who said something’s supposed to help your misery?” the Zen Master would reply.

From the Zen point of view a great cause of suffering is that we live our lives playing with toys, never reaching for the real thing. It is rare to find someone who outgrows the need for distractions of all kinds, including comfort, advice, guidance, a restless search for answers and truth. As we let go of all this, we discover another source of wisdom and authority that never lets us down. As this is discovered, suffering naturally ends.

There are many places and organizations that offer new age healing to their clients. They offer different methods to incorporate the lessons that can be learned through the techniques. Some methods work well on people, while other methods are not nearly as helpful. It is important to find a company that gives clients the best that the industry has to offer so they can experience all of the benefits. There are certain things to look for that will allow clients to get everything they want and need out of the techniques.

When people take advantage of the techniques offered with these methods, it is best to find a company that offers visual aids. Visual aids can stimulate the mind in ways that reading material cannot. Visual aids can also allow the imagination to be triggered, which can be an incredibly useful tool. It has been discovered that visual aids trigger the subconscious, which is very important with these types of techniques. It is necessary for the subconscious mind to be awakened.

Audio aids are also effective in new age healing. Just like visual aids, they can stimulate the mind and enter the subconscious in ways that reading material cannot. That makes them much more effective than books on the topic. One of the biggest concepts with this method is that the subconscious must be reached so it can be brought to the surface. Audio and visual aids can help reach the subconscious in a way that does not require much work for the user.

Effective methods will also stay on top of cutting edge techniques. A company that is effective will give users the newest techniques available. The company will grow as the industry grows. They will understand that there is always more to learn when it comes to new age healing. They will seek out new information and methods. That will allow the company to give their customers the techniques that will best help them.

Effective companies will also use methods of today, along with age old methods, in order to get the best techniques possible. By incorporating both kinds of methods, they will be able to better serve their clients. They will be able to give their clients the best of the new and the old in order to find an effective treatment for them that will work in all situations. Some of the best methods have been around for years, and by combining them with the methods of today, people can truly get the most out of the techniques.

Go here to see the original: How to Get the Most Out of New Age Healing

In the past year, I have been on a journey to regain my health. In November 2005, I went to the doctor because of pain in my feet. After numerous tests, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I didn’t know much about the disease but I was in a lot of pain.

Doctors wanted to treat me with drugs but I wanted to heal without them. My journey included chiropractic, naturalpathic care, major nutritional changes, acupuncture, and energy medicine. One year after my diagnosis, I see tremendous change in my physical, mental and emotional well-being. .

These changes are due to working with my diet, energy medicine as well as my attitude and emotional well-being. I had been searching for answers in the past with no success. This dis-ease has given me the opportunity to find my answers and to start growing again as a person. I have learned to:

1. Release anxiety – I used to get a knot in my stomach when I started feeling overwhelmed from thinking about so many things. Now, I stop and breathe and let the oxygen give me the strength to focus and find my balance. I am training myself to address the things I can take action on; If I can’t take action immediately, I write it down which is enough action to help with the feeling of overwhelm.

2. Focus on health – Once I learned how to release the anxiety, I could focus on my health and healing – not on my dis-ease. Learning how to use the energy of my own body to help me heal was an amazing discovery. The effects of appropriate nutrition to assist in the healing process have been a benefit to my health as well as my family’s.

3. Enjoy and express gratitude for my family – I always loved my family but I think I also may have taken them for granted. Now I enjoy watching my boys with a sense of gratitude. Volunteering to help in their classrooms and spending time with my family is wonderful therapy for my mind, body, and spirit. My blessings include a wonderful husband, fantastic parents, exceptional in-laws and friends that support me in my quest for better health.

4. Do tasks with acceptance and joy – I look at my daily tasks differently now. I ask for help from my family when I need it; I have reached out to other Moms so I am not isolated.

5. Release emotions – During my journey I have gained clarity about many of the feelings I was holding inside and not expressing. I can now see a relationship between not expressing my emotions and the dis-ease which has had a major impact on my digestive system. I have learned to accept myself as I am and love myself unconditionally.

6. Strengthen communication skills – Part of releasing my emotions was communicating more effectively with my husband. Asking him for help when I am feeling overwhelmed is a great relief. He is supportive about my alternative health treatment even though it isn’t covered by insurance. I am also learning that I need to make sure I am communicating honestly with myself.

7. Continue growing mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have made significant progress and I am still striving to improve these areas. Listening to soothing music, and reading from a variety of inspirational, motivational, and nutritional literature adds to my healing and growth. Writing down affirmations and my thoughts have also been fabulous therapy.

What I have learned over the past year has helped me to understand why my health deteriorated. This blessing in disguise is helping me to discover my authentic power. Now, I am trying to share what I have learned and help others who may have health challenges.

The entire context of Acts 3 and 4 is the healing of the lame man at the Temple Gate. This is the occasion of Peter’s declaration that his level of power or holiness had nothing to do with it.

His actions, however, demonstrated that using Jesus’ name for healing had everything to do with the healing of this helpless man.

One verse in these two chapters, Acts 4:12, contains a hidden key to healing by faith. This key is hidden because of the words translated by our English words salvation and saved.

You see the translators gave us this:

Acts 4:12

12 Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be SAVED. (KJV)

They should have given us this:

Acts 4:12

12 Neither is there HEALING in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be HEALED. (KJV)

Why is this? You see the Greek word for saved and salvation is also one of the Greek words for healed. In other words, saved and healed are translations of the same basic Greek root.

Now, this Greek root is used here in this verse. In this context, however, this Greek root has nothing to do with the salvation of the soul.

This context pertains to the healing of the lame man at the Temple Gate. Read it for yourself and see. The plan, method, necessity or even a question of salvation never occurs in this context.

Therefore, Acts 4:12 above would be more in line with the facts of the context of these two chapters if the verse had read thus: “Neither is there HEALING in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be HEALED.”

In other words, God gave no name for our healing except the name of Jesus. When our “arm of the flesh” has failed, the name of Jesus will work because that is the name God left us for our healing from the start.

Thank God for medical science. They are God’s gift to us. Nevertheless, those times they can’t come through for us, we still have the all powerful name of Jesus.

Mark it well. There is no other name for healing. This is God’s doing. There is no other name for healing. Truly, “neither is there healing in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be healed.”
