What is Spiritual Healing?

Spiritual Healing

is not about doing anything to heal your spirit it’s about

allowing your spirit to heal you.

Your spirit (or soul) is always stable, secure, strong and sure so if you’re feeling

unstable, insecure, weak or unsure this may be a sign that you’ve lost connection to your spirit.

Disconnection to spirit can happen when you become overwhelmed with the things occurring in your life - when you’re grief stricken, worried, anxious, angry, frustrated, over thinking, bored or stuck. These emotions are not felt by the spirit.

Your spirit is always at peace, it is the part of you that is always OK no matter what.

When you’re in the depths of your despair (in whatever form that may take) try to find within you that place of peace - be quiet and still….just wait, beneath all the noise, emotions and stories of your lives it’s there.

Even if you get just a fleeting glimpse of that stillness and peace within you’ve

reconnected to your spirit, reconnected to that stable, secure, strong and sure part of yourself that’s always there and by sensing that, even for a moment, you begin to heal.

Wishing you health, harmony and happiness

Heal Yourself

Heal Yourself

There are many things we can do to help heal ourselves. Those things we've heard many times before like eat right, exercise, get plenty of sleep and drink enough water - all good ideas but how about just stopping for a moment and listening to what you really want or need to heal...
You may need

• a good cry to release your sadness
• a physical workout to ease frustration
• meditation to calm an active mind
• a detoxing diet to help your digestion
• a soak in epsom salts to relieve sore muscles, or
• a massage to relax and unwind.

For 1 week, 1 day or 1 moment focus on you - what will clear away the cobwebs or shine a light on your path to healing...
                                   What do you need to do?

    Who do you need to do it with?

The Power of Healing Words

There is real power in words.

The words we hear and the words we use when talking to ourselves or others affect our mood, our behaviour and our biology. To test this out think of the last time you were complimented - how did you feel? Now think of a criticism you recently received - do you notice any different reactions in the body to these 2 situations?

For this month try choosing words from the following list to enhance your healing or the healing of another.

If you catch yourself using words that disempower or criticise stop and swap them with something that uplifts the spirit instead - Be kind to yourself and those you care about.

Love     Hope    Forgiveness   Abundance   Ease    Harmony   Joy   Optimism   Kind   Resourceful   Calm   Determined   Alive   Relaxed   Happy   Conscious    Balanced   Intuitive   Faith   Strong   Unique   Worthy   Safe   Thriving   Vibrant  Youthful   Valuable   Wise  Compassionate   Grateful   Achieving   Nurture
Glowing   Secure   Versatile   Enhancing   Positive   Glowing   Beautiful  Knowing   Peace   Spiritual   Empowering   Growth   Change   Friendship   Laughter   Fun   Reflection   Time   Quiet   Stillness   Reflection   Allow   Give   Simplicity  

How do you heal yourself physically?

If you have a physical symptom, illness or pain and you take a pain killer and it lessens or goes away have you physically healed or just numbed a symptom?
Have you ever wondered why we have physical symptoms or illness?

Do we experience pain because our body needs a pain killer...of course not. 

Pain, illness and symptoms are not just problems that need to be numbed they are clues that something is not quite right with the body. So try to listen to your body's clues and investigate what they're really trying to show you before you silence them with avoidance, medications or temporary relief.
For true long lasting physical healing find and treat the underlying source of dis-ease instead of just eliminating the symptoms.

What is Healing?

What does it mean to be healed?

In her book 'Why People Don't Heal and How They Can' Caroline Myss PH.D states "Even after healing, we have to keep working on our healing. Healing is not a process that has an ending."

What do you think she means by this?

What does healing mean to you?

To me healing is feeling at peace, I feel at peace if I am unaware of any "negative" aspects of life like illness, pain, upset, anger or fear. I don't feel healed or at peace if my body has pain, my mind is overactive, I'm worried, stressed, frustrated or sad....
my life of ease becomes a life of dis-ease.

Does this mean that to be fully healed would be to have peace at all times?  Is this possible? Would we even want this?

I don't think I would because I feel there are reasons why our peace, or wellness, is disrupted. On a physical level we may get a headache to tell us we are dehydrated and remind us to drink some water, on an emotional level we may feel so angry or frustrated about something that we're moved to create changes that could improve our life or someone elses, and on a mental level our mind may be racing and over-thinking to keep our thoughts and focus on an issue that needs to be understood and resolved.

Situations like these disrupt our peace and cause dis-ease for good reason but if we do not act to resolve those situations and return ourselves to a a life of ease then we struggle i.e. the headache may become a migraine, the anger becomes a tightening of the muscles leading to joint or back pain, the over-thinking may stop us from sleeping and lack of sleep leads to a whole lot of physical, mental and emotional problems. Like Caroline states "even after healing, we have to keep working on our healing" as situations will continually arise that require this.

So healing does not mean never again being ill or being completely cured of all dis-ease it means having the understanding that dis-ease is not a bad thing, it's really an alarm to get us to look at what's underneath our symptoms and to work on that. Once we have this awareness disruptions to our peace can be seen as opportunities to learn, grow and create change and having this awareness helps us heal and move on - as we work on our healing we are healed.
