more about healing

a recent daily quote from www.abraham-hicks.com:

True healers know that wellness is the order of the day, so they do not allow themselves, even for a moment, to see anything other than that. So, the power of the healer is in the power to influence the one who needs to be healed into a vibration that allows the healing that they are summoning. (that they could get, even without the healer, but they can get faster with a healer's influence)

Excerpted from a workshop in San Francisco, CA on Saturday, July 30th, 2005

I'm not under the delusion that I'm any kind of "true healer." But I've noticed that often people seem to feel much better after our sessions, and I've been a little puzzled by this because I haven't really DONE anything. And I myself feel much better after a conversation with a friend, even though nothing in my actual circumstances has changed yet.

Maybe healing is actually a tuning fork effect, rather than some magical combination of words or techniques. Maybe when we connect with someone who is not as worried about our problems as we are, our own concerns relax, sort of like when all the pendulums in a room full of grandfather clocks eventually synchronize. And once we are relaxed, our narrow focus on the problem naturally softens, so that our inner peripheral vision can notice the solutions around us that have been there all along.

This could explain why I've felt so called lately to stretch and breathe and settle myself into a quieter inner space before meeting with clients, rather than preparing mentally by reviewing the details of their situations, as I used to do. Instead of filling my mind with information, I've been wanting to empty it all out and just meet them in the moment with love.

I wouldn't say I've progressed to the state of 'not allowing myself, even for a moment, to see anything other than wellness.' That sounds like it would involve effort, and I'm too lazy for that. It just seems to be happening naturally more and more that while people are talking about their problems, I feel like they have already been solved at some level and they are well on the way to catching up with their own solutions.

So I dunno, and I may never know, what's really at the bottom of this whole healing thing. But I think I would like it very much if whatever it is percolates into my own self talk, too. It would be neat to consistently feel my own solutions surrounding me already. We'll see.
