Each
type of illness is associated with a particular way of being. There is a
personality type associated with heart disease, there is another associated with
cancer, another with nearsightedness, etc. The person’s way of being has had
stress associated with it, and that stress has reached the physical level,
manifesting as a symptom.
When
someone wants to release a symptom, they must release the way of being that was
associated with the symptom, and which, in fact, created it. Releasing the
stress from the consciousness allows them to then have different perceptions,
and a different way of being. There is a change in the nature of the bubble, the
filter of perceptions through which they see the world.
Said another way, since our perceptions create our reality, there is a
change or movement from one bubble to another, from one reality to another, from
one paradigm to another.
Thus,
we can say that the process of healing implies a process of transformation. In
the experience of this writer, recovery from catastrophic illness is always
accompanied by a change in the person's way of being. They change, or else
continue to manifest the symptoms until they die. Those who change are able to
see things differently in their life, and to notice that things happen in ways
different from before. They are
able, through having different experiences, to define different beliefs.
Or, they are able to first define different beliefs, and then have
different experiences.
The
important thing, in either case, is to release old perceptions that have been
based on old experiences, if those perceptions have resulted in a tense way of
interacting with the environment.
One
way to achieve this reprogramming, this perception modification, is by
recognizing the element of time as a possible distorting influence in our
internal programs and perceptions, and choosing to not prejudice our positive
view of the present and future by our negative experience of the past.
For
example, someone might have a program in his or her human biocomputer that says,
“Every time I see that person, I get a headache!” Then, given the person,
the headache is expected, so that the individual has a chance to affirm that
truth, the program that is believed to be true, and therefore, is true for them.
Unfortunately, the program always results in a headache, so although the program
is very effective and efficient, the result is something unpleasant.
To
release the program while still acknowledging what is true, we can describe it
as having been true in the past. Then, the program would say, “Every time that
I have seen that person,
Then,
direct experience can show that something different is, in fact, true. “Wow!
This person really is different - and actually, quite pleasant to be around!
I’m sure I will never again get a headache from being around this
person.” From that moment, with those words, a new belief is created, and new
perceptions are allowed, and a new reality is created with the new belief.
If
you are interested in experiencing the process of healing, and therefore, the
process of transformation, what is particularly important is the way you
describe yourself to yourself. This
is because the words that you use to describe your experience create your
reality, and you are interested in the creation of a different reality in which
you feel better than you did before.
Thus,
it’s important to pay attention to the words that you use to describe
yourself. If you are describing some trait you do not find particularly
successful (I’m shy, or afraid of success, or naturally irritable, etc.), then
with your words, leave it in the past, making room for a different perception in
the present, and also the future (“I was shy, or have been afraid of success,
or had been irritable because I was not really being myself, etc.).
In
that way, you will be able to more easily dis-identify with and therefore let go
of old ideas, and old tensions associated with the symptoms to be released.
The
same is true about the words you use to describe the symptom to be released.
Consider the element of time, and be able to describe the symptom to yourself as
you experience in the present moment. If
you say, “It hurts all day,” you may not be noticing that, in fact, it
doesn’t hurt so much right now. If you say, “The symptom comes and goes,”
and if you do not experience it right now, you expect it to return.
It is more effective to describe your experience in the present moment,
acknowledging what is true now, and with a positive orientation toward a
positive future (“It’s better now than it has been. In fact, it really seems
to be getting better and better.”)
The
positive mental attitude is, of course, an element useful for enjoying the best
quality of life achievable. For the process of healing, however, it is
essential.
Whatever
you visualize, you improve the probability of happening.
The images or pictures that you put into your consciousness have more of
a tendency to happen. If you continue to put into your consciousness pictures of
yourself suffering, you tend to continue that condition. It does not even matter
what emotion you have with the picture - it is the picture that is important.
Thus, if you have a picture of what you do not want, you are still having a
tendency to fill your consciousness with that picture, and therefore, to create
that.
It
is important, then, to have in your consciousness a picture of the final
positive result that you are working toward, as a reminder of your goal.
When you are receiving a healing, optimally it should be with the
expectancy of being healed. At the very least, it must not be with disbelief and
resistance, which stop the process.
You
do not have to believe in the method or system, but you must remain open to the
possibility of it working for you. If you do believe in the healing, then during
the healing you can remind yourself that your healing is happening now.
After the healing has happened, you can see whether the results are
partial or total, so far. Sometimes, the full effects of the healing are
immediately apparent, although often there are continuing positive effects that
manifest during the days or weeks following the healing act.
When
the healing is total, and no symptoms are experienced, know that you are healed,
and just get on with the rest of your life. When the full effects of the healing have not yet been
experienced, it is important to continue to remind yourself that the healing has
happened, and that the effects are on the way. Rather than continuing to see yourself in your old bubble,
see yourself in your new bubble, the one you are moving toward.
See yourself healed, in the future.
In
changing your bubble, or moving from any one reality to any other, there are
three steps:
1.
Decide what will be true in the new reality.
For
example, you can decide, “In the new reality, when the healing is complete,
the pain will be gone,” or “Reading will be easier,” or “The tumor will
be gone.”
2.
Encourage the perception that it’s happening now.
While
it’s true that you are moving toward some goal in the future, and holding the
perception of success at some point in the future, the process of reinforcement
must happen in the present moment. The
idea is to examine your perceptions of what is happening now, in the moment of
experience. “The pain now is less
than it was before. The healing must be happening now,” or “The letters I
see are a bit clearer now than before,” or “Perhaps the tumor is actually a
bit smaller now. Anyway, my
consciousness feels more clear now, so I know that something positive is
happening.”
Positive
thinking is not self-deception. Even
when there are highs and lows in the experience of the symptoms, it’s
important to see that the lows are where the highs used to be, so that even on
your current worst days, you feel better than you used to feel on your previous
best days. In other words, even on days when the symptoms are being experienced,
it can be noticed that they are not so severe as before (when that is true), and
you are thus able to hold a perception of a positive direction.
The
idea is to give yourself reasons to believe in the process, while at the same
time, acknowledging what is true, on the physical level. It is, after all, the
measurement on the physical level that shows the effects of the work being done
in the consciousness. Each improvement in the condition on the physical level
should be acknowledged, and owned, as evidence that the healing is happening
now.
If
the conditions on the physical level have been measured as continuing to
deteriorate, it must be clear that something has not been working, so that steps
can be taken to correct the situation, and continue the healing process. Even
this necessary correction can be seen as part of the healing, and in fact, it
is. It brings the person one step closer to the final result of being healed.
3.
Decide and know that now, it’s true.
You
continue the encouragement process until you experience yourself symptom-free.
When that happens, you must consider the possibility that you may never again
experience that symptom. When the pain is gone, it may be gone for good. When
you see clearly, you accept it as your new normal state. When the healing is
complete, you must see yourself as healed, and in that way, we say that you own
the healing. You identify the state of consciousness you experience, and your
view of the world from that state of consciousness, as normal and usual for you,
even if it is your new normal way of being.
If
the symptom was evidenced on the basis of medical tests, look forward to new
tests that show you as free of those symptoms. After all, healed is healed, and
on all levels. If the tests show
improvement, but not yet total results, know that you are moving in a positive
direction, and that there is still a bit further to go. If you have been working
on yourself, continue, accepting the progress you have made thus far. If you
have been working with others healing you, you can know that it was a partial
healing, and that the next one can take you further along, or be the one that is
the last you will ever need.
When
you have the feedback on the physical level that shows the effects of the
healing work you have been doing, accept it and trust it, and when you have a
clean bill of health, find other things to do with your consciousness than
correcting problems. Get creative, and set goals, watching them manifest,
creating with the tools you have learned to use, a life in which you are happy
and fulfilled.
In
fact, you may consider sharing your success story with others. Many healers and
teachers of healing have started on this path through the necessity of healing
themselves. Thus, when they share their stories, it is from their personal
experience.
That
was the way it worked for me. Perhaps it can work that way for you, too.
Let
everyone know that anything can be healed.
