What is spiritual healing and what does a spiritual healer do. These are the two questions that this article will answer in the most basic terms. This is the first in a series of articles discussing this topic that will lead to an e-book and several instructional videos.

There are many ideas being held on what is spiritual healing. Ideas that portray healing as psychic surgery, falling down and speaking in tongues or laying on of hands to name but a few.

But spiritual healing is much more then the “side show” theater that we are generally used to seeing. It is a deep and fundamental change in how we view ourselves, the world and God. Spiritual healing lifts a person above themselves so that they are able to see everything from a new perspective. Do not be fooled by the theater of “psychic” types, spiritual growth is an intimate and very quiet pursuit.

Spiritual healing shows itself in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual change in the individual. These changes can be profound and noticeable to everybody or they can be subtle and only felt by the person making the changes. Going from physical sickness to a state of recovery is a part of spiritual awakening. Finding peace in emotional calmness is another aspect of change that is seen as a person goes through the process of spiritual healing.

The most dramatic part of the process is when one is able to have a clearer vision of God and how we relate to God and to each other. This feeling of unity and brotherhood redefines a persons life and their direction in terms of career, interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth.

A healer is a facilitator of this process. A spiritual healer has the ability to “see” the person as a whole greater then the sum of their parts. The healers job is to help remove blocks to an individuals growth.

How a spiritual guide does their job varies from healer to healer. Most accomplished healers have the ability to see the blocks that are causing the problems in the lives of their clients. The blocks can be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. Through a combination of talking to provide awareness and energy work the client is brought from a state of dis-ease to one of more balance.

A spiritual healer may only see a client once or twice or like a trusted advisor play a part is an individuals life for many years. A healers job is to maintain the growth process for as long as a client want to implement change.

In future articles I will discuss the many roles of a spiritual healer and the many aspects of the healing process.

What I like to focus on with this meditation is to have you understand the concept of meditation and healing (since meditation is also healing) and to understand that when you experience life, your body takes in the experience.

And the analogy that I like to use is your energy body is meant to work like your digestive system. When you eat food, your body digests the food. It absorbs what’s beneficial, and it eliminates what isn’t beneficial or what it doesn’t need at that time. That is a functioning digestive system. Your life and your energy is meant to work the same way the digestive system works, when it works properly. That is to bring in the experience. You hold on and absorb the good, and you let go of anything that wasn’t beneficial for you. And then you hold onto the lesson or experience – what you learned from that whole experience. So more meditation, guided meditation, various healings that you do or have done help you to release anything that you have had stored in your body. And that’s what we’re going to work on today.

So remember your assignment is to find that predominant thought, that predominant experience, or something that you would like to let go of.

What is perfection?
Perfection is the movement and constant flow towards enlightenment.

How does one become enlightened?
The first step is to realize that we are able and have the ability to change our lives at any given moment, we have the power to choose how we evolve. So the first step is knowing. The second step is to accept responsibility for what we have chosen to change and put the steps to get there on a priority list. I suggest that you only list what you want to see change.

You always have the choices
I don’t know how many times people ask if there is one certain way that things need to be done. I tell them that you always have the choice to pick the way. That is why you see so many people struggling to move forward in their lives. They do not realize it is their action that is needed and so they are waiting for someone to give them the answers. The only real answer to anything is to take action. Once you put the thoughts out there then action is the only way to put things in play.

How long would one need to wait for the results of the action step?
I would say if all steps that you thought out were complete that is when you would see the results. Any idea can be successful if only one would put it to action.

Clear receptivity, clear thought, clear action
Time ultimately is only there to provide us with frame work to complete our ideas. We are here to play with as many ideas that we can come up with or receive from our guides. How do you know if the idea is your own or it was received from a guide? All information is sent on an energetic frequency for all to hear. Those tuned into the frequency at the time will get it. It’s like a radio. If your on another channel when an announcement is made you will miss it. But when you are on a channel and you hear an idea that feels right for you. Act quickly! We are always being fed information on the psychic channels. When you are tuned in think it through and write it down. Decide if this is for you. List steps to implement the idea and then if you want to go for it, get going!!

Just remember
Once you have heard it’s a matter of action to fulfill your desires. Now if you want to know how to implement an idea then you will need to ask and then tune into the channel. You do this by calming yourself, being open and asking precisely for what you want. Be attentive to ways in which you might receive your answers.

As I have said
Perfection is the movement and constant evolution towards enlightenment. We have the ability to change our lives at any given moment and we have the power to choose how we evolve. Take charge and choose your steps carefully and put them into decisive action.

Although looking for a healer takes you out of the bounds of the traditional healing arts you do not need to suspend your logic or judgment. Just keep these four questions in mind when looking for spiritual healers.

1. Friends are a great source of referrals – Talking with friends and family would probably be the first place you would go if you were looking for a doctor or dentist. Why not do the same thing when looking for a spiritual healer. Find out from people that you know if they have had any experience with healers. Ask what results did they get. Did they feel better. What was the healer like. How many times did they go to see them etc…

2. Confidence is ones skills and abilities is important – A money back policy is normal when you purchase most products or services. Is the practitioner you are talking with confident enough in their work to guarantee the results? A guarantee does not mean you have to throw away your crutches in one session but you should feel satisfied with the results. The healers confidence in their work can be a determining factor in whether you see them.

3. How many sessions will be required – Although it is unlikely that the full extent of any healers abilities can be felt in only one session, does the healer give you an idea of how many sessions it will take to clear your immediate problem.

4. There is a common feeling that someone somewhere can make all of our problem completely vanish. What type of results will make you happy with your sessions? Would you be happy if you problem was reduced by 65% after 3 visits? Is it successful enough to say you would like more sessions or is it just enough to say that is all you want and can now function very well.

It is very important to ask the above questions. You are the one in control of your life. Keeping these questions in mind you should be able to find a spiritual healer that you can work with.

Our ideal state is reached through the process of spiritual growth. Our ideal state is when our true nature shines through. And our true nature is that which was given to use by our creator.

The inner beauty of our true nature will shine through only when we remove the filters that block it. What makes up these filters? The filters are made of our thoughts and emotions. Our words are what expresses both our thoughts and emotions.

Why have I chosen to focus on the words that we use? I could easily have focused on thoughts or emotions. I decided that words were the easiest to observe so I decided to choose them for observation. And they are the easiest for others to observe and point out to us.

If your friend says that you seem angry it is not hard to have a different opinion. But if they said that you said “I hate everybody” or “I love everybody” that is difficult to challenge. We are able to see our growth by the words that we use. If you want your life to change then simply change your words.

It is difficult to directly change your thoughts because thoughts are so fleeting. I am sure you have noticed how your thoughts roam from topic to topic. It is very hard to stop them long enough to see what is going on.

The same is true for your emotions. They have a tendency to just jump up and surprise us. By the time we recognize that we are in a strong emotional state, it probably is to late to change it.

Observing words is not the same. You can retract words after you have spoken them. To either reorder the words or change the words altogether. Instead of saying “You make me mad” you could say “What you are doing makes me mad”. These two sentences are very different.

You may wonder how this helps with changing the filters that block our true nature from coming through. Negative emotions are our main filters. Emotions such as fear, hate, jealousy, anger etc… These negative emotions are best replaced with positive emotions such as gratitude, love, patience, kindness etc…

We can replace the negative with the positive by watching our words and what we say. The more positive and uplifting our words become, the more positive and uplifting will our thoughts and emotions become.

The positive will grow as the negative gets cleared away which lets our true nature shine through.

Would that not be wonderful? Well it is possible!

You can change lower vibrations into higher ones.

This miracle happens every time that you change a negative emotion into a postive one. You can change hate into acceptance. You can change anger into compassion.

More spiritual feeling come about when negative emotions are transformed.

This transformation of negative thoughts to positive feelings is the basis for spiritual growth.
