Healing

Barry of An Explorer's view of Life
Got me thinking today about ~Touch~
and about how healing it can be...
and as i read his post, i started playing over in my mind
the moments in my life where a ~Touch~ was in fact a Healing
and also a ~Reminder~ of the natural ability my body has to ~Heal~ herself...



i do believe in our immune systems natural ability to ~Heal~ itself
i have come to understand this, through the journey i have had with illness...
That in fact our bodies are in a constant state of regeneration that we can ~Trust~ and that in these modern times, we have become separated (for want of a better word) from this language of our bodies... We have, in my mind, forgotten the language of our physical selves and because of this, have lost ~Trust~ in our amazing healing abilities... When, you are 'in touch' with your innately physical self you are also in tune with your Spirit (i believe) Just as the Australian Aboriginals talk of being in touch with Mother Earth in order to help her heal, so we too as Spirits need to listen to the voice of our bodies...



Reading Barry's post, i was reminded of a story a cousin of mine once spoke about... The cousin i am thinking of (for i have many) is a reiki master (among the many labels that i could give her) and she once told me about a lady who came to her for a healing... and as my cousin began the session and reached to hold the lady's hand, her client began to cry... For an hour my cousin just held her hand, as the lady cried... Some people, my cousin said, are never touched and the mere act of reaching out and making physical contact can be a great self~healing in itself for someone who has forgotten that she is Spirit in ~Flesh~



My thoughts go back to (my) yesterday's post
when i spoke of allergies and the research that is now being done...
Because one of the theories that i heard (on the radio)
was that scientists are now considering that our modern/western paranoid ways about 'germs' and our reactive sterilizing of everything combined with the over vaccinating of our children may well be compromising our natural immune systems and thus WE are in fact inflicting our children with immature and confused immune systems that over react to certain proteins (in this case it was the sticky proteins they have discovered in peanuts) resulting in allergies (and now more commonly the more dangerous anaphylaxis reaction that one of my children has)...



Don't get me wrong, i too have inflicted my babies with vaccinations in the past, but i have come to understand more, through our experience with allergies... And as a result have given more thought to the constant pressure to further immunize my children... Think about it parents... Do we trust that our immune systems are strong enough or do we trust modern medicine more? i wonder that we should put more energy into growing food with no chemicals (that can build up in our bodies and compromise the way our immune systems naturally work) than more and more immunizations...
Have YOU had all the immunizations that you have insisted upon your children having? i haven't, so now i give my teenagers information so that they can make informed choices for themselves... And it's true sometimes they have decided to actually go with some of the vaccinations offered, but like i said they take the time to sit with their own inner voices and make their own decisions about their own bodies... i try to empower my children with the fact that they have the ability to be in charge of their destinies and their experiences with their bodies... i remind them that we are three parts, Mind Body and Spirit and that with illness (lessons that we draw to ourselves for a million different individual reasons) all these three areas of ourselves need to be addressed and that we need to find our own individual ~Language of the flesh~ to be heard with the ears of our Spirits, in order to help us heal... i thought about this today as i gave my youngest some antibotics (yes it's true i can be a contradiction) for a lump in her neck... The doctor said it was simply a lymph node letting us know it is doing it's job fighting perhaps a virus and what to i do? You guessed it i instead listened to the fear in my heart that a lump may mean cancer and that we should hurry to make sure that it isn't with antibiotics... See how we impose our fears on our children, even though i know it is with the best intention, but i slap myself (Lol!) and remind myself that i learn these lessons in MY life not just to empower myself but to also share with those i journey with...




Because i too am ~here~ in search of my own inner Truth and Trust... and so i try to explore the reasons why and when i may have lost this trust in myself and always these journeys into my human journey are enlightening and give me renewed joy in the pathways that my Spirit has chosen...

One ~ healing touch~ (massage) i particularly remember from a Bowen therapist, as a beautiful voice from my Spirit came with a vision to my minds eye of me dressed in hooded cloth, slowly moving among a throng of people, with a quiet reverence in my heart to a man whom i now know as ~Jesus~
And as i spoke the words with emotion in my voice, to the therapist she too stopped and tears came to her eyes as she told me that she had been told once by a wise~one that she does in fact work with the Christ energies... and that ~touch~ was so wonderful and so beautiful that i don't have the words to describe it, except to say that my back vibrated with a gentle humming for days after wards...
i remember a healing touch once not so long ago that ventured into past life memories, that helped me to listen and understand why i had the reluctance to hear with my Spirit to my body's call...
i also remember from long ago the gentle moment of my first boyfriend's touch on my cheek as he looked into my eyes and gave me my first kiss ... and once, the memory stays with me still (although it may seem odd) of the unconscious passing touch of a stranger on my waist in a busy shop, a respectful but gentle passing touch, that surprised me and almost made me cry for it was a time when i felt most untouchable, so buried was i then in self doubt...



The ~Healing Touch~ with Love and Respect
can be one of the most powerful gifts to another fellow traveler
in this human journey...

~i Believe~
