*** Aspects of Spiritual Healing and the Spiritualization of Matter (Part 4)
Healing opens us to our spirituality. Spirituality is an awareness that has atrophied in our society. Western culture is something of an aberration when compared to the majority of other cultures, where the spiritual dimensions are experienced and conceptualized as normal parts of existence -- not paranormal, mystical, or to be rejected. Again we must clarify our terminology.
*** Aspects of Spiritual Healing and the Spiritualization of Matter (Part 3)
The experience of integrating spiritual healing with conventional medicine in England is instructive. In the mid 1970s British healers formed a healing organization that lobbied the government to allow healers to treat patients in National Health Service hospitals. With one governmental decision, 1,500 hospitals were opened to healers. In the early 1980s, healers joined in organizations that standardized a code of conduct. The code of conduct was sent to various medical, nursing and midwifery associations for review and was given their approval.
*** Is It Possible, Right Now, to Live in Trust Rather Than Fear?
Can you picture to yourself a world in which we are able to trust each other, without doubts or hesitations? Hard to imagine such a thing, isn’t it? Yet there are clear, readily available steps we can each take to start to make our personal world much less a place of anxieties, fears and worries and much more a place of peacefulness and enjoyment. This would be a world where we each grew up having enough so that seeking and striving to accumulate ever more ‘stuff’ was not the goal of our existence.
*** In Wholistic Healing, the Journey Is the Destination
Health and healing are not what we have been led to believe they are. Modern Western medicine and science tell us that disease is a scourge and that the primary goal of treatment is to cure it. In order to achieve cures, we fight illnesses with drugs; remove diseased parts; replace worn out parts; and are engaged in wars on cancer, heart disease and other ailments. Prevention of illness is also an accepted approach, but one that in many instances is overlooked or ignored in Western medicine.
*** The Ultimatest Most Inconvenient Truth of All
The pursuit of the truth shall set you free - even if you never catch up with it.rn - Clarence Darrow We all aspire to know and express truth in one way or another. We want to base our life decisions and actions, minor and major, on the best information possible. The difficulty is that in many cases it is challenging to know what is the truth.
*** Aspects of Spiritual Healing and the Spiritualization of Matter (Part 2)
How can we understand healing, which seems to occur through intention and subtle energies? Albert Einstein pointed out, earlier in this century, that matter and energy are interchangeable. Quantum physics has amply confirmed his theory. Conventional, Newtonian medicine continues to address the body primarily as matter. Healers have been saying for a long time that they are addressing the energy body when they do healings. Allopathic and energy medicine approaches simply represent the two sides of Einstein's equation, E = mc2.
*** Confidence Enhances Our Performance and Invites Success
Healing opens us to our spirituality. Spirituality is an awareness that has atrophied in our society. Western culture is something of an aberration when compared to the majority of other cultures, where the spiritual dimensions are experienced and conceptualized as normal parts of existence -- not paranormal, mystical, or to be rejected. Again we must clarify our terminology.
*** Aspects of Spiritual Healing and the Spiritualization of Matter (Part 1)
In our reductionistic Western world we are taught that reality is "objective." We are led to believe that there is a constancy to the world and that it is consistently measurable by reliable scientific instruments. I will address these beliefs from the perspective of more than a dozen years of research in psi healing (commonly termed spiritual, mental, faith, shamanistic, bioenergetic, subtle energy, vibrational, psychic, divine, or unconventional healing).
*** Remember to Extend Love to Yourself
If you've got love in your heart, whatever you do from that moment out is likely to be right. If you've got that one true note ringing inside you, then whatever you do is going to be OK. It's love, always love. - Ken Kesey On Valentine's Day we focus on amorous love, seeking those special ways to express to someone close to us that we care for them. Oddly, loving and caring for others is often easier for many of us than feeling love and caring for ourselves.
*** Which do we address first in wholistic care: body, emotions, mind, relationships or spirit?
Many people with acute pain simply want to be rid of it, without giving it much of a second thought. A pain pill does the trick and they move on with their lives. They see no reason to poke about and ask whether there are any deeper understandings to be had about the pain. Most of the time, a painkiller for acute pain is a benign remedy for whatever hurts. Sometimes, however, it might be insufficient or even dangerous.
***Fine-Tuning Your Affirmations For Maximal Benefit
A recent study revealed that positive affirmations may actually make some people feel worse instead of better. Psychologists Joanne V. Wood and John W. Lee from the University of Waterloo, and W.Q. Elaine Perunovic from the University of New Brunswick found that people with low self esteem who recite affirmations such as "I am a lovable perso " or "I will succeed" may end up feeling less lovable or less likely to succeed.
***Powerful New Way to Deal with Financial Stresses and Worries
There are fears around the planet about the financial crises now threatening every country in the world. The hasty governmental responses of throwing paper money at the problems that were created by irresponsible investments of banks is not going to solve these problems. Printing more money without anything to back it is going to create much worse inflation. This is not going to happen some time in the distant future. It is happening very quickly, right now.
