Spiritual Health: Being at Peace in Everyday Life

Ask Robbins

Do the words I pray matter?

When I learned to pray years ago as a teen, I just asked generally what I needed and that was it.  Why does your process need specific identification?  In other words, do I really need to figure out the specific wording? Isn’t this already known by Divine Source anyway?

This type of spiritual healing is brought about through your Partnering with Divine Beings of all types.  So, in calling for healing for yourself or others you have to be clear on exactly what you are asking for.  This all goes back to having Free Will. You have both your body and life as a human and you have a soul presence that is eternal. In that regard, you are both human and Divine. No being can impose a specific healing on you or fill in the blanks when you are not specific enough about what healing is needed.

You can generally call for the right solution to a problem to manifest and perhaps it will. However, the right solution for you may not be fully known by Divine Beings as you have Free Will and therefore you need to be a full part of that solution. So, you might say, “the right solution will have the following characteristics” and then list those.  The more specific you are, the more likely you are to receive the exact healing needed.

When you ask for general healing, you have a greatly reduced chance of succeeding with that call than when you say, “I call forth healing for recurring migraine headaches and all trauma energies surrounding those”. Even more specifically, when using the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol, a range of potentially blocked energies is included that could be affecting one’s migraine headaches. This gives permission for the Divine Healing Entities working with you to address fundamental blocked energies that have contributed to the headaches, for example.  Further, in the protocol, you are also calling for healing at all levels of your being, not only at the conscious level.  You can be seriously affected by blocked energies at the sub-conscious, unconscious and supra-conscious level until those are completely cleared from your field.

I don’t think of myself as both human and Divine. Will this process still work?

I don’t really think of myself as being both human and Divine as you speak about in your book? Will the processes in the book still work for me?

The processes in the book can work if you use the steps in the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol carefully. However, if you do carry doubt that you can heal or that you are unworthy of healing, those feelings can override your ability to receive healing. If you feel that you are a victim and that your concept of God is not helping you or that your concept of God is not even on the scene, that can also affect your ability to heal in these ways. These examples though are not explicitly about fully believing that you are both human and Divine. So, provisionally, I would say yes, these protocols can work even if you are not feeling that you are both human and Divine.

We are energy beings even though we think of our bodies as solid. Our bodies and our lives are shaped by the vibrational energy and feelings we have. The body is deeply affected by the energy and feelings running through our cells from our thoughts, feelings, doubts, fears, and even from our sense of safety to name a few reasons for blocked energy. Our genes can also affect our health and that can block our ability to heal. If blocked energy manifesting in a certain ways remains in our fields, we do not fully heal.

If you want to be free of conscious blocked energy that may be affecting your ability to fully heal, these following thoughts and feelings could interfere with healing. You could try calling for healing for some of the following areas:

  • feeling separate from Divine Source trauma energy and all symptoms
  • feeling unworthy of receiving Divine healing trauma energy and all symptoms
  • feeling angry with God/Divine Source/All That Is trauma energy and all symptoms
  • doubting “Thomas” trauma energy and all symptoms (needing to see God to believe in God’s existence or healing energy)
  • doubting that I can receive the healing I need trauma energy and all symptoms

Is detox normal after spiritual healing work is done?

Is detox normal after spiritual healing work is done?

Yes, detox is a normal response by the body after spiritual healing work is done. Detox is short for detoxification. Detox can occur after spiritual healing, massage, healing touch, visceral manipulation, acupuncture or any other type of healing you have received. Detox happens when the vibrations in the body rise thereby sloughing off toxins which have been held at a lower vibration before the healing was received. Detox with spiritual healing is very common especially when the healing originates in the conscious body. It is less common when the healing originates in the unconscious or supra-conscious (soul) body.

My experience of detox is that anything unusual happening in the body after healing has been received is likely to be detox. The most common types of detox for spiritual healing include tiredness, sluggishness, and bowel changes. The tiredness for some people can manifest from feeling unusually spent or sluggish after a workout to not being able to get out of bed and all levels in between. Rashes, headaches, acute pain, shaking, dry mouth, and dizziness can all be forms of detox depending on the healing that has been received. Detox from tissue cancer healing sometimes takes the form of vomiting among other forms of detox.

Usually the worst detox is immediately after the healing which can begin showing up the same day as the healing or in the next 1-2 days. The intensity of detox normally diminishes until you finally feel normal again. Detox is usually present for 2-4 days but can run as long as 2 weeks for some individuals.

Detox most frequently appears with the same symptoms one is seeking to heal. Therefore if you have received healing for allergies, the detox can take the form of temporarily increased allergy symptoms of runny nose and itchy eyes during the detox period. One may even think nothing worked with the healing because you find yourself feeling worse than before the treatment. However, the increased symptoms are really detoxification of the body happening as the body comes into balance.

To get through the detox period I often have people affirm out loud the following, “I am healing, I am healing, this too shall pass”. This helps focus the mind to the healing process rather than on fears that nothing good has happened.

If you are concerned about the timing and severity of the detox, you or the spiritual healer can call for mitigated detox symptoms or for the detox symptoms to be postponed until a particular day when you know you can have time to rest. If you see a healer who is not versed in these options, open Sacred Space and call for mitigation of detox symptoms for yourself during or immediately after the session. This will help with the severity of symptoms. See Chapter 7, p. 93 for more information.

Why isn’t my sore toe healing?

I have called in healing for my sore toe and it does not seem to be healing (three weeks later). I have already done antibiotics and other things that have not worked. Any suggestions?

It works best to try again to determine where the blocked energy could be regarding the sore toe. The important thing to remember is that your call for healing has ALWAYS been heard but there may be other blocked energies that you have not addressed keeping you from receiving the healing you want regarding your toe. This occurs because you have Free Will that no Divine Being can override ever without your permission to specifically address certain issues.

For example, your sore toe may not be healing due to your inability to receive spiritual healing. This could be the case, especially if the blocked energy is in the unconscious or supra-conscious level. You would not even be aware of such blocked energy but your toe could still be affected by that unhealed energy. If you carry doubt that you can receive spiritual healing, “spiritual healing doubt trauma energy” needs to come into balance before you can receive the healing you have called in. Use the language in quotes above when calling for that to clear from your field. You could have no conscious idea this is in your field if it resides in the unconscious or supra-conscious level.

Another situation might be that the toe is sore due to an imbalance in your leg, foot or ankle on the same side.  The sore toe can be a message to you that something larger is out of balance.  In this situation, you could try to determine if you have an imbalance higher up in the foot or leg that is showing up in your toe. You might call for healing for your (left) foot, toe, leg bones and knee imbalances trauma energy showing up as your left sore toe.

Another approach is to think of other core issues that could cause the soreness in your toe. You could clear for any virus or infection trauma energy that is present or affecting the sore toe.

When healing does not occur, it is most frequently because we have not fully identified the core issue affecting our toe.  Sometimes I try the following in Sacred Space. “I am calling in the needed information for the core issues affecting my (sore toe) so that it can heal.”  I will often then get clues or hints of what is basically out of balance and then proceed with healing for whatever is given. However, this may not come exactly when I am asking for this type of help. It may come a few days later. Information given could be that the toe is fractured, that the shoes you are wearing are re-hurting the toe daily, that a nerve has been affected or that your toe is out of alignment and that is what needs to be addressed.

Stay with the process using Sacred Space and you will be guided to what you need to address in order for the sore toe to fully heal.  I caution you against assuming that you are not being heard or not worthy of healing. This is rarely the case. When something does not heal it means that there is still more blocked energy we have not addressed that needs addressing before the specific body part can heal.

Do I have to open Sacred Space every time?

When I open Sacred Space in the morning to clear something, do I have to re-open Sacred Space later in the day when I want to work on something else?

Yes, you do need to open Sacred Space every time you seek to work with spiritual healing unless you have consciously opened the Sacred Space saying that you will be in that space until you go to bed, for example. The window of Sacred Space needs to be opened daily at the very least. If you anticipate working in that space throughout the day, set that intention with the first opening of the space.

However, if you want to be double sure you are working in Sacred Space later in the day from when you first did your work simply declare, “I am working in Sacred Healing and Wisdom Circle. We are in Quantum Space.” Quantum space is the space from which all things are possible so it reinforces your intention with a clear definition of how you are regarding this space.
