distant healing

[Guest guest]

A couple of Monday morning thoughts from Liverpool:

 

Firstly, about the concept of distant healing ... can I use an

analogy? Just over 100 years ago most people would have scoffed at the

idea of being able to send messages over the airwaves, then Oliver Lodge

(and later Marconi) proved them wrong. Bell, Baird and everyone else

then went on to make wireless and apparently miraculous transmission of

sound and vision, across the world, almost instananeously. We take it

for granted now, being able to pick up a mobile phone and talk to a

friend on another continent, or turning on the TV and watching what's

happening around the world, as it happens.

 

Is it impossible to think that with distant healing and all energy work

we are simply using the same concept, but using our own bodies/minds

rather than mechanical devices? Perhaps in a couple of decades the

concept of sending and receiving energy, healing, and all the other good

things we talk about on this list, will be a matter of fact and no

longer supposition or belief.

 

And to the point about permission for sending distant healing ....

while I believe we are all responsible for both our actions and for much

of what happens to us, and while I agree 100% that forcing anything down

anyone's throat is not a good idea, there are times when I have

deliberately done something harmful to myself (little things, like being

bolshy to someone I want to love me, or demanding to be left alone when

I'm actually desperate to be hugged) when I want exactly the opposite.

Sometimes other people's responses don't mirror what they actually want

- we're not always in the best position to be open about our needs.

 

I'm not sure, either, that we 'heal' anyone .... I'm more inclined to

think that all we do is use our therapeutic skills of whatever kind to

offer encouragement and the extra resource (energy, touch, understanding

etc) to others to help them heal themselves. We can offer whatever we

like, but there is no way we can force the other to accept it or use it.

Just like advice!!!! How many times have we been given advice and

ignored it UNTIL we are ready to hear it and act on it? I can remember

lots of people telling me things years ago that I am just now realising

were right (dammit!) .... So like Vitamin C, perhaps we only absorb the

healing we need, when we need it, and let the rest go.

 

It's just brilliant reading/responding to these sorts of discussions -

SO positive and hopeful. It's irresistible!

 

Enjoy your week
