Spiritual Health: Being at Peace in Everyday Life

healing

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.

(For more information, see Chapter 12: Deconstructing Imbalances in The Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol)

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.

How do I get started healing when I don’t feel confident?

I really don’t feel confident in where to start asking for healing. There is so much information in the book that it is a bit daunting. What would you recommend?

If you want to focus on emotions that are causing you trouble, take a look at the tutorial on my website which will take you step-by-step though dealing with an unpleasant emotion or feeling (rage, shame, guilt, irritation, fear, blame, bashfulness, etc.) that causes imbalances in your life. The process is set up for a few minutes work over three days. You end the tutorial with calling for the specific healing you need based on the steps in the tutorial.

Authentic Prayer and Global Healing

Sermon – Comm-Unity On the Hill Congregation, Washington, D.C.*

Rev. Robbins S. Hopkins, Ed.D.

Thank you for asking me to speak.  It is delightful to be here this morning. The question I am exploring today is, “What is authentic prayer”?  Just plain and simple, authentic prayer is prayer that works.  It is prayer that brings results. It is prayer that produces energy shifts.  Authentic Prayer is powerful business.  Well then, how do we accomplish this?

The Bible has a few things to say to us about prayer.

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him” (1 John 5:14-15).

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds ….” (Philippians 4:6-7).

“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. (Ephesians 6:18).

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express” (Romans 8:26).

 

Atlantic Beach HDR Sunset – Explored by L1mey

The week before Hurricane Irene, exactly 7 days before it hit this area, we decided last minute to book a house in North Carolina for the week for my husband and myself.  We have been going to the beach in August for 41 years and we realized we were not going to go because none of our family were free to join us.  We discussed this at length and decided to make a reservation and take a weeks’ vacation just for us. That felt very wonderful, celebratory in fact! One day later, we realized that there was a Tropical Storm in the Atlantic. We thought, we had better arrange for trip insurance in case something more serious became of this storm. We called for the insurance and were told that we could not get insurance now because there was a named storm in the Atlantic, specifically now called IRENE.  So, my energy was very focused on this storm not only because of this reservation but also because I had been going to the North and South Carolina coasts literally all my life except for 4 years when were lived overseas.

So the prayers began in earnest.  Every time I went into prayer, I got the feeling I was simply nipping at the heels of Hurricane IRENE. I did all the things I usually do in working at the global level but I could not feel any shifts in energy which is how I know the prayers have been effective.  One day about the 4thday into the prayer effort, I finally asked in sacred space, “How do we do this?” I was feeling overwhelmed and completely under effective.  Someone had shared with me that the Hurricane itself covered an area as large as Arizona.  This left me totally amazed.  I could feel the power and strength of Irene when in prayer and something I called powerful fury but I did not know how to address it in prayer.

WORKING OUT with DIVINE PRESENCE

When we are on a conscious spiritual journey, sooner or later we spend time in Silence. But this is just the beginning of our potential journey.

In search of peace by Bindaas Madhavi

After Silence, we may need to spend time on imbalances in our field.  This can happen when our “quiet time” results in tough, yucky stuff appearing on the scene.   Thoughts and feelings which are out of balance, unpleasant, heavy or unprocessed do frequently show up.  Unsettling issues are a part of our dialogue with the Greater Whole.

This is the Divine Presence talking with us about what we need to focus on  to remain in balance. Unsettling feelings are not the result of being in Silence. They are the result of our seeking inner peace! When we go into Silence we are seeking peace, balance, wholeness and centeredness.  If we have unresolved issues with a co-worker, a spouse or a friend, we are likely to have them pop up after a period of sitting in Silence.  In fact, many people never go into the Silence for this very reason.  They are afraid that issues they do not want to look at will show up.

Guess what?  Unpleasant issues, thoughts and feelings are ALREADY in our energy field, draining us of our Light and life force energy!  They are already causing imbalance.  Just because we are not thinking about them, does not mean they go away.  In fact, because we are trying to “resist” them, they are even more demanding of our attention. The quickest way to resolve any unpleasant issue is to work in sacred space with our unresolved thoughts and feelings which are causing us stress or anger. 

Anyone want to join me at the beach for a good conversation? by Stuck in Customs

It is easy to say well “she should do this” or “he would be a whole lot happier if …”. However this will never bring resolution to an imbalance affecting us.  These responses are actually a  form of gossip and can perpetuate and expand the imbalance.  As long as we focus on what others could or should be doing, we miss the lesson for ourselves.  We are the ones who  have to take the steps to re-establish inner peace for ourselves. Then others sense a shift in us and they are also affected by our coming into greater balance.

Coming into balance and inner peace is our part of the partnership with All That Is.  No one else can do this work for us. The more we engage in this self-work,  the more expansive our inner peace becomes. It begins to permeate our entire being and all our affairs for the positive.  If this is hopeful or of interest to you,  keep seeking and you will find exactly what you are meant to discover.  There are infinite ways to undertake a work out process from Silence to release.   Here is one you might try and adapt for you own purposes.

WORKING OUT with DIVINE PRESENCE

When we notice charged feelings and thoughts, causing imbalances, one option is to work them out within a sacred space, through writing to Divine Presence and then letting the imbalances go.  Here are some steps towards that goal.

1.  Open a sacred space in which to work.  This gives us access to Divine wisdom, energy, love and support even when we are writing by ourselves. ( See Note A, for ideas of how to do this.)

2.  The letter

  • Get a journal solely for these writings and date each letter. Sign your name as you would in any letter.
  • Address the letter to Dear God/ Beloved Oneness/ Perfect Love/ Great I AM/  Mohamed/Mary/Jesus/Buddha/Saint Germain/Ascended Masters, etc.
  • Keep this journal in a safe place where you are sure no one will find it or read it.

3.  Explore the specific situation around which you have strong feelings which is causing you imbalance.

  • Begin by writing about your feelings.
  • Write as clearly as possible and with total honesty.
  • Include thoughts as well as feelings about the situation.
  • Write as much as you can until you feel really done.
  • Sign your letter each time you finish for the day

4.  Ask in the Silence what fears and blocked energy you are carrying which are manifesting as imbalanced energy specifically related to you journal topic.

  • Specify the fears and other blocked energy in the journal as notes after your letter.

5.  Go into a space of stillness and call for the sacred flame (within all of us) to consume all blocked energies you have identified which are causing turbulence and imbalance in your energy field from their originating source in this lifetime or from any previous life form you have taken.

  • If forgiveness comes to mind forgive self and others completely.

6.  Give thanks for the healing support and vibration clearing of your energy field.

7. Continue to write about this imbalance as long as it remains in your consciousness following this process each day you write about it.

  • Every time you enter into stillness for clearing, healing energy will consume the low vibrating thoughts and feelings separating you from Peace.
  • You are only responsible for your own feelings. If you change, others involved in your situation will be profoundly affected as well.
  • Take as much time on the issues as you need, knowing that your desire and intention for Inner Peace will be completely supported.

NOTE A:  Here is one way to open sacred space.  ” I call forth my Highest “I AM” Self , the Angelic Host, the Ascended Masters (Jesus/Krishna/Mary/Mohammed/ Moses/St. Ignatius/Buddha ,etc.), the Nature Intelligences, Cosmic Light Beings of the Universe, Divine Ancestors and Divine Physicians  to help me hold this sacred healing space.  I may then say, “Spirit of the Living God/Great Oneness /Divine Wholeness/Holy Spirit, come forth into this space dedicated to wholeness and balance.  My thanks.”
