Healing and Balance – Choosing to Accept Well Being

I spent a recent weekend in Chicago, studying Reconnective Healing with Dr. Eric Pearl, a well-known healer and teacher who travels all over the world. It was an amazing, thought-provoking and enlightening weekend and I gained much knowledge. However, what I wish to share is not about the mechanics of this modality. It is about the attitude of healing — the choice and willingness to accept well being.

This concept of being receptive and open to becoming fully healed is essential for anyone seeking real healing. So if you are in need of a shift in your life, you have to ask yourself: am I ready to let go of my condition? You need to be ready to detach yourself from your blockage. Many people use an illness or condition to define who they are. (And this can be an emotional condition, not just a physical one.) They use it as an excuse why they can’t do this or that or accomplish this or that. Or maybe it gives them the attention they so desperately crave. Do you know anyone like this — I suspect you do!

Dr. Pearl is known for many phenomenal and well-documented healings. He has a fantastic “track record.” But of course, it is not 100 per cent. Some of the amazing healings concern people who were born with clear physical defects or problems, and they were cured. Those are truly miraculous.

Sometimes people develop illness during the course of their lifetime — and yes, many of these have experienced a return to health after a healing with Dr. Pearl. And these healings have lasted, with no return to sickness.

However, there are also people who were promptly healed of their issue, only to soon fall back into the throes of their sickness. After some research, it was determined that for some of these individuals, their entwinement with their disease created a comfortable symbiotic relationship — not a healthy one, but one they were used to. Not everyone is ready to embrace true wellness.

I have met my share of those who, on the surface, claim they would welcome well-being, yet seem to be almost happy to focus on all that is wrong with them. I believe that the body is a remarkable system that always strives toward the greatest balance. The creation of a healing environment in the physical body and its surrounding energetic field is facilitated by a holistic modality such as Reiki or Reconnective Healing. But I suspect that much of the healing comes from within.

So if this strikes a cord of resonance, then maybe it’s time to really look into your heart and connect with your inner knowing that you CAN heal. Healing begins within you.

If you abound with joy and well-being, continue to stay that way by focusing on the radiance of good health, and appreciate all that is exhilarating, good-feeling and whole in your life. If you seek better health, then START focusing on the radiant good health you envision for yourself, and begin to appreciate all that is exhilarating, good-feeling and whole in your life!

Affirmations for well being:

• I love my life, who I am and where I am headed!
• I let myself flow with the radiant stream of well-being.
• I choose healing, balance and serenity as the essence of my life.
