Healing

During my speech when we launched the centre, I used the word healing a lot, I said ‘a lot of people need healing’ and ‘we will help people heal’. One of my best friends highlighted to me afterwards that I should be specific when talking about healing because someone might have a wound on their leg and expect us to heal it at the centre. At first I thought about it defensively – I thought – duh! we are a Spiritual Centre so of course we do heal any kind of wounds – but when I thought about it later - It occurred to me that she was right – I did not explain in detail what healing is.
To heal is to cure something that is not in its natural form. When a relationship needs healing it means there is something in the relationship that is not the way it is supposed to be, it means there is some unhappiness. Doctors heal the symptoms, the individual knows what caused the sickness. The Individual may not be aware of the cause of their sickness or unhappiness.
We are born complete. We have all the healing powers within ourselves. Because of the upbringing – and the conditioning we have managed to give our power away - to the systems – to medicine, to religion, to education and so forth. We are the cause of all the diseases, sicknesses and unhappiness in our lives. To answer my friend’s concern – it is true when you have a wound that needs healing, at the centre we will help You heal the wound.
It is so amazing how disconnected we are from ourselves - For instance - A woman wants a baby because she believes that she CAN have it , she has no doubt in her mind that she is a woman. When she doesn’t fall pregnant she starts doubting herself, she doubts the creator, she blames abortion, she blames women who abandon their infants - - still she wants to have a baby – she disconnects from who she is – she has become angry without realizing that she is jeopardizing her chances of falling pregnant. She consults her doctor, the doctor runs some tests on her body, he does not find or he finds something, the therapy process begins – on the body –she still does not fall pregnant. The soul was not part of the therapy process with the doctor. This woman refers to herself as ‘spiritual’ – but she does not consult her soul with her decisions. How do we help this woman heal? As a spiritual centre, everything we do is of the spirit, we help her connect with who she is. And everything else falls into place. Once she connects with herself, she discovers that she does not really want to have children, she wanted to do it because she is married. She wanted to please someone else, because someone said to her married people have to have children. What if the husband does not want children as well, who was she pleasing then – her womanhood, her parents and friends who also do not know the real her – how could they know her when she does not even know herself.
The suffering of the spirit manifests itself through the body. When we are ready to face our suffering – truthfully – we heal.
