How can we pray for others who are sick, afraid or in pain?

Namaste by dhayanji

The first thing to remember is that All That Is, is already here.  God is Constant, One Source, One Power.  So asking for the healing of another is frequently not helpful to the other person, though it is not harmful either.  All that is needed is already here.  We are all made in the image of God and therefore we have all that is needed already.  The fact that someone is manifesting illness means they are simply not demonstrating their full power at this time.  Their Divine spark , if you will, is somehow diminished by the person giving his or her power to something other than Divine Knowing.

The most powerful prayers we can offer are those which call forth the Divine Oneness within others for their own healing and re-balancing.  When we know of that power within a person, our calling it forth is one very powerful prayer for that person.  Divine Power resides within every person  but often it is not fully actualized because it is covered over with old emotions, thoughts, memories or a sense of separateness from  God.  When others recognize this in us and call it forth,  it allows us to connected with our own sense of spiritual consciousness , power and knowing.   The calling forth of Divine Presence in another is similar to Namaste.  The God/Christ/Light in me recognizes The God/Christ/Light in you and the response is wholeness and healing vibration.

What would you recommend if I am repeatedly having unsuccessful relationships with guys I am dating?  How can this type of issue be helped spiritually?

Begin by settling into Sacred Space and Stillness.  The question you might ask yourself is, what patterns are your repeating in each relationship?  What experiences are you having over and over again?  Pick one, such as repeatedly going along with a guy, getting more and more serious and then realizing he is not into making a lasting commitment.  Take this repeating pattern into Silence. Ask Divine Presence/ God/ The Oneness, what  you need to learn from these relationships.  Ask  to be shown where you are separated from Divine Wholeness in these repeating patterns in your relationships.  Then wait knowing you will learn what you need to know. Wait in the Silence and wait out of the Silence, knowing you will be shown in many ways, in the fullness of time, all that you have not seen until now.  This will come in a time frame that is perfect for you, though it may not necessarily be within the time frame you have in your mind.

Your part is to bring the pattern into Sacred Silence and ask to be shown where you are separated from Divine Wholeness around this issue.  The waiting upon the answer is also your part.  Simply remain open and attentive to input and it will begin flowing towards you.  The more you obsess over the issue, the harder it will be to receive guidance about it.  Simply wait in attentive expectation.  It is possible that the answers may be difficult to hear.   You may be attracting these relationships because of some fear, mistrust, doubt or concerns you are carrying about being in a committed relationship yourself.  In other words, the insights almost always lead us to the identification of our own fears and blocked energy.  When you have a sense of what that looks like and feels like,  simply command the release of this fear, mistrust, or doubt  from your own energy field.  Imagine this dark, heavy energy leaving your energy field and give thanks.  http://robbinshopkins.com/2009/02/full-partners-with-the-divine-healing-service-excerpt/

Questions and Answers – Spiritual Health – 1

What is happening spiritually when we are ill?

Scenic Falls by K. W. Sanders

Illness is blocked energy which has been blocked long enough for our body to manifest the imbalance as illness.  Humans have at least four energy bodies which each manifest different types of energy.  There is emotional energy, mental energy, spiritual energy and physical energy.  Many times when a rib is out of alignment or we are manifesting a cold or the flu, there is unseen blocked energy in our emotional, mental or spiritual bodies which has originated the imbalance.  When the core source of the imbalance is cleared, this allows the realignment of the bone, clearing of the cold or shortening of the healing cycle for the flu.  All illness is some type of  energy congestion or constipation.   When all energy is flowing, the body manifests health and balance.  Good Work… If You Can Get It.

Why haven’t we heard of this before now with all the advances in medicine?

What we are speaking about is energy at an unseen level.  Emotional, mental and spiritual blocked energy can’t be seen by anything.  It can only be discerned through Silence and through  practice working with Divine Knowing.  The ability to understand this dimension of the unseen though is accessible to all who enter into regular Silence.  Divine Knowing is accessible to all,  if we seek it.  Divine Knowing exists, all the time, everywhere.  If we listen in Silence to the “still small voice”, we eventually begin to get messages from that Source of Knowing.  The answers and insights may show up in the midst of our daily activities but they can only be received if we are tuned into the questions we have asked.  If we are waiting expectantly, we will realize when the messages are delivered.  They will register with us as answers to what we have asked.  The energy of the unseen level is subtle energy which can be discerned if one is tuned into it.  Otherwise, it is as if it does not exist.

How do we know that what you are saying about specific situations is accurate, if everything is unseen ?

There is no sure way to distinguish between those who are accurately receiving Divine Knowing and those who aren’t,  except through one’s own inner senses.   Intuition and accurate discernment develop over time.  Therefore, it is most important to listen carefully to a teacher for a good long while to be sure that what is being said connects with your own true knowing.   A teacher is most valuable until such time as the student develops his or her own Inner Knowing.  If one’s own Inner Knowing is growing, that is perhaps a good indicator that the teacher is a good match for you.  If this is not happening, the match between teacher and student is perhaps out of Right Relationship and needs to be changed or broadened in some way.

What is detox? When does it happen in spiritual healing?

Detox is the abbreviated term meaning detoxification. This  is the process of the body sloughing off unneeded toxins as a result of the clearing of unseen or blocked physical energy in the body.   All emotions carry specific and unique vibrations within our energy field.  If we  carry anger, envy, mistrust, unforgiveness or shame, for example, these emotions each vibrate at a unique level of megahertz.  As these specific energies are released from our energy field, the overall vibration of the body rises.  When this happens the toxins being held at the previous lower level are released and flushed out of the body.

There is a wide range of detox symptoms ranging from bowel imbalances, to thirst, rashes, headaches, runny noses, bad taste in the mouth, vomiting and many others.  Each body is different and reacts to spiritual healing differently. Typically detox begins 1-3  days after spiritual healing has occurred and usually lasts 2-3 days.  However, it can last much longer depending on the individual involved.  Eating lightly, resting and drinking extra water are good ways to assist the body into returning to a new state of balance.
