Intolerance for painI become aware. I pray God for help. I accept the help as it comes. I am healed. I confirm the healing.For a time I walked around with an incredible amount of pain in my back. I adjusted myself to this pain. The more I adjusted to it, the more the pain became normal for me. Then I realized I was suffering because of my choice to tolerate the pain. Once I saw that, the pain no longer was acceptable to me. I asked for help. In prayer to God, I asked for the pain to disappear. The prayer request was sincere and specific. I desired only one outcome, because the only acceptable outcome left was healing. I realized my worth and knew I deserved better than to suffer needlessly. I resolved to look for healing and to accept whatever the form in which the healing would appear. My pride was removed, and the fear to join with someone in a request for help disappeared. My eyes opened, and I immediately knew where to go for help. I regained an appreciation for a person that I’ve known well, someone with a particular quality and integrity of mind, as well as a sincere faith in the authenticity of healing. This appreciation formed the trust I needed to take the next step in the process of my healing. I immediately went up to her. As soon as I asked her to help me with the healing of the pain in my back, the healing began. Right at the spot, right that moment, she stood with me, and prayed with me. She voiced a spontaneous and highly personal prayer, just for me. She invited the Holy Spirit to be present in the healing, and restated my request for the release from the pain in my back. Her wording was precise and guided by the spirit. The next moment we were in a different space. Safe, encapsulated, protected. The words were no longer spoken from someone outside of me towards me. The words became a healing force as they ignited a surge of energy that stirred up something deep within me. For an undefined moment a tremendous activity converged in my center. Then the awareness of inside and outside returned to me and energy started to extend from me. The healing had occurred. It was a miracle because it didn’t happen the way I expected. There had been no me and her. It was one mind joined that had witnessed the healing event. When this light energy started to radiate from me, she asked me to confirm the healing. She asked me to say thank you and thus give credence to the healing that had taken place in me. I will never forget this particular healing, and writing about it returns to me the richness and significance of healing. It is a clear example of the many subtle or dramatic moments in which I experience healing. Whether the healing is mental or physical the process in which the healing happens is similar; the solution is always spiritual, yet practical, and entirely available to anyone who wants it. To sum up about the process of healing: I find myself in pain, I suffer, I may adjust to it for a while until it becomes intolerable. I then decide to ask for help, I find the help I need, and I am healed within as well as without. I express gratitude and surrender to the spirit that healed me. My life becomes a life lived in the presence and service of the spirit. |
