Most people don't think about their healing process much. But if you want to heal, there are certain things to consider that will help bring it on. In this podcast, I delve into that process and what exactly it looks like from a practical standpoint.

Episode Notes:

As a healer for more than 15 years, I have to admit, this is a frustrating subject for me!

People say they want to be healed, but they don't even know what it looks like anymore.

We have become so disconnected from ourselves, just following a life of distractions. Like mind-numbed robots living day by day distracted by technology, work, family, anything.

People will say they want to be healed, but they think if they took ibuprofen for their headache, they're healed.

But that's not true healing.

In my quest to get myself and my daughter healthy many years ago, I learned from many intelligent people that our bodies have all it needs to heal from anything.

People need to learn how to do it.

You are a masterfully created being. You have everything you need within you for healing. You need to figure out how to tap into that inner healing power you possess to get the job done.

And that is why I started this podcast. To get the word out that you can do it, you can heal.

So I started with the previous episodes to help you begin to get in touch with your intuitive self and become aware of the energy inside you. We'll get more into that later on; I'll share with you some really cool things you can do.

And I am going to be sharing with you in later podcasts things you can do all by yourself to help your healing along.

But first, I want to let you know what true healing is. Because, as I said, I get frustrated.

People have no patience for healing. So before we get to all the neat stuff, I want to give you my five pillars of healing. It's like setting the stage or laying the groundwork for healing.

And the reason why I think it is necessary to do this is because energy healing is a bit different than what people are typically used to seeing. And unless you understand these pillars of healing, you may not appreciate the power energy healing has. So let's begin with my first pillar of healing.

#1 - The first pillar is "Healing takes PATIENCE."

I say this because everyone wants their healing done yesterday.

I once had a woman who I was working with take a remedy from me and said, I can't wait, I'm going to take the medication the doctor gave me. This is taking too long. She told me this like three days after I gave her the remedy.

And I'm thinking, really? Wow, you couldn't wait a few more days. Are you so ready to take those medications which can leave you with all kinds of side effects?

I remember thinking, no worries, it's your life. I know I would want to heal, not be perpetually on meds all the time.

But that's why they make vanilla and chocolate. To each his own.

I wish people would want to truly heal, even if it takes a few weeks, a few months, or even a few years. Wouldn't getting healed be better. I love the word remission. Doctors say that a lot.

You are in remission because they know they didn't heal you of anything, they just suppressed it until it surfaces again.

So now you have to live life watching for this disease to rear it's ugly head again.

I wouldn't want to constantly be watching over my shoulder for a disease.

Everyone wants to be healed asap!

When they get a headache, they take ibuprofen; when they get a rash, they take a steroid cream, constipated, they use a suppository.

You get constipated and take a suppository, then you go. You're healed, right?

I mean, come on. Really! Do you think that is healing?

You may look like your healed because you went to the bathroom, your rash is gone, and your headache may be gone, but are you.

Let's take steroids. You got the rash and put the steroid on, and the rash is gone. But according to the NIH, which is the government website, the steroid suppresses the inflammatory genes that are activated by the disease. In other words, the steroids suppress any inflammation that is going on. There is no healing taking place. Whatever caused the inflammation is still there.

That's like saying, if there is a fire in your house, you can put it out by taking the battery out of your fire alarm.

But not only that, you now have to ask yourself, if whatever was causing that rash in the first place is just being suppressed, where did it go.

Think of it this way:

Let's say you have two people outside at night enjoying themselves. Then the mosquitoes come and really start to bother them.

The one person puts repellant on, and the mosquitoes quit bothering her. But did the mosquitoes go away? No, they will move to the next person and annoy them. So now that person has double the nuisance from the mosquitoes.

That is what it is like with the steroids and most medications. There is no healing, it suppresses the inflammation, or suppresses the pain. It is really symptom based.

So you might be asking, what's wrong with that. At least I don't feel bad.

But there is a problem with that strategy.

When you get a rash, let's say, then you can heal it right at its roots. If you suppress it, then whatever is causing the outbreak goes underground and can travel somewhere else in your body where it can wreak havoc there and continue to grow without you even knowing it.

Let's take dandruff for instance. Something that may be a nuisance, but it is not serious. Right?

Dandruff is usually caused by a fungus called Malassezia that lives on the scalp. This fungus feeds on the oils of the scalp and can dry it out if there is an overgrowth.

But if you use shampoos and dandruff treatments that suppress the symptoms on the scalp, the reason why that fungus got out of control is still there. And that reason could produce other problems inside your body if left untreated.

Would you want that fungal infection to go to your liver or kidneys? Or whatever the reason that fungus got out of control, let's say you are eating too many omega-6 fats, instead of the healthy fats, which is usually the reason for dandruff, then it will be problematic in another part of the body too.

A different type of fungus might flourish and expand rapidly in another part of your body if you continue to keep eating so many omega-6s.

At least on your scalp, you can see it and work to get rid of it.

If it goes to an internal organ, you won't know it is there until one day you come down with a more serious condition or disease and wonder where it came from out of nowhere.

But it didn't; it came from the fungal overgrowth that may have started from your scalp.

See what I'm saying.

Let's take ibuprofen or Advil. It works by decreasing the number and types of prostaglandins, which are just substances in your body that get produced when there is a need for inflammation. So if you sprained your ankle and your body needed to protect that area, it releases prostaglandins to signal your body to increase the inflammation. The ibuprofen did nothing to the actual healing of the ankle. It just reduced the signaling mechanism of the body.

That's like saying, if you found a crack in the pipes in your house, it would get fixed quicker if you didn't tell anyone. Kept it a secret from the plumbers who could come and get the job done.

That's sounds crazy doesn't it when you put it in those terms? You know, I joke about people like that woman, but really I am frustrated.

Here's another example, If I tell someone that their body is calling for a supplement to help their situation or a diet change, they do whatever for a week and say, "That didn't work." Now what.

Are you kidding me? If you are deficient in a nutrient, just supplementing for a week isn't going to do much.

If you have a leak in the oil tank of your car, would putting some oil in each day for a week solve the problem. No.

Until the leaky tank got fixed, you need to keep supplementing it with oil.

Our bodies' are masterfully created machines!

They know how to heal. It just takes time.

You might have to supplement for a while, or maybe you need to make lifestyle changes, or detox for a while.

But the reason it takes time to heal is because when you give your body what it needs, now it needs time to get the job done.

If you were deficient in vitamin D let's say, well taking the vitamin D didn't solve the problem per se, the vitamin D allowed your body to do its job properly which includes healing.

I can't tell you how many times I hear someone say they started to eat good but didn't see a change in their condition.

They claim the diet didn't make a difference.

But think about inside your body. Just because you quit feeding it garbage doesn't mean your body is in tip-top shape automatically.

It probably took years to get to this condition. It's going to take a while to set your body straight and heal whatever is wrong inside.

Your body only has so many resources within it to tap into for healing. If you are eating a complicated meal like lasagne, or a huge burger with greasy fries, it may have very little energy left over to do any healing.

But if you give your body what it needs, it will do the healing; it just might not be immediate.

If someone gave you supplies to clean your house, that doesn't mean you cleaned your house. You still have to take those supplies and do the cleaning.

It is the same way with healing.

Another problem with patience is that sometimes when people start healing, they get worse before they get better.

This is called...
