Certainty and presence intensify healing
|
The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the
person doing it
Chinese proverb. |
* Be certain that you will
heal.
* Visualize yourself doing
what you love to do and believe you will do these things again when
you are well.
* Fill your heart with so
many grateful thoughts that no room remains for worry and fear.
* Be present to the healing
energy of unconditional love.
Being certain that you will heal,
and being present to the guidance of your heart and soul, can
enhance your healing process. Doubts and fears cause you to tune out
your own inner wisdom and block the flow of healing energy, but
having gratitude for what is—as it is—accelerates and intensifies
your healing.
A few years ago I was gifted with
the opportunity to help a man named Michael, a dancer who had been
paralyzed from his neck down as the result of an injury. Before he
suffered the injury, I had treated him a few times for minor sprains
and strains. His dream was to dance in Broadway productions and he
was devastated by his paralysis. Michael could still move his head
and arms, but he believed it when he was told that he would never
walk again. He lost interest in trying to improve and was beginning
to lose his ability to speak clearly, He truly had a broken body and
broken heart.
When he arrived at my office in
his wheelchair, his head hung down so far we couldn't make eye
contact. I could see that he had nearly given up, so I got down in
front of him, took his hands in mine, looked into his eyes, and
said:
Michael, if you lose your vision
and your dream, you'll lose your will to live, and you may never get
out of this wheelchair.
You have to see light at the end
of the tunnel. You must be able to comprehend that you'll walk
again, you have to see yourself dancing, you have to see yourself on
stage, Michael. You must see yourself healed. You have to picture
it... If you can't picture it, your physiology can't create it. Even
if it seems impossible right now, you have to see the impossible
becoming possible.
He started to cry. "I just want
to walk," he said. "I just want to be able to walk. Why do I have to
go through this?" "This is a gift," I told him, "and until you can
see it as a gift, it will hold you back. There is no crisis without
a blessing; there is no turmoil without a gift."
