How to Set Clear Healing Intentions That Work

February 24th, 2010

fire-copyIt is your responsibility as the receiver of other people’s prayers to set the intention for prayers and energetic forms of spiritual healing that are in alignment with your own your clear desire. That means your intention needs to be very clear.

A clear intention is dependent upon how you feel spiritually strong. Are you someone that visualizes, hears or feels things easily? Do you get strong impressions that are more like knowing something?

Most of us have one or two means of spiritual perception that are strongest for us. If you visualize, you actually see something in your minds eye when someone suggests you imagine, and it is possible your dreams are very vivid.

If you are auditory, you may hear a little voice in the back of your mind or you may hear songs in your mind throughout the day.

Tactile people experience the world through impressions when you touch someone or something. You may find that you are very sensitive to being touched and love the experience of various textures.

If you are empathic, you may find yourself processing your world through your intense and ever-changing emotions.

You may simply sense or know things without consciously engaging your five senses or empathic response.

Some people experience a combination of ways in which you receive spiritual input, or you may experience it in a way I haven’t described here. I recommend you become an explorer of yourself. Discover how spiritual awareness comes to you.

As you set your intention for healing, it will help if you can see, feel, hear, sense or know exactly what healing will be for you. Then multiple times a day, you can affirm exactly the outcome that you want in a way that your spiritual self can best understand it.

For example, if your spiritual medium is visual and you have broken your leg, you will do best to visualize yourself walking. However, if you are auditory, you may want to create an inspiring affirmation or song that you can repeat to yourself throughout the day. If you are tactile, you may want to massage essential oils on to your leg above your cast and sense it becoming well. If you are sensory or empathic, you need to feel physically or emotionally what it will be like when you are walking again.

As you set your intention, also set into your heart, in the present moment, the emotional feeling you will experience when you are completely healed. Nurture this emotional feeling until it becomes part of your daily experience.

Intense emotional pleasure will super-charge your spiritual intention and prayers, giving you the boost you need to bring your intention into complete manifestation.

Receiving Healing Prayers Part II

February 10th, 2010

candlesWhen other people’s prayers can actually limit your healing.

As we discussed in the previous article, it is important to actually open your heart to receive healing prayers from others. As you heart opens, so does your energetic body, allowing the energy, or love and intention, behind the prayer to penetrate into your being.

However, when opening your energy body, you want to be sure that the energy you are receiving is in alignment with your own intentions in order for the prayers and love to have their best effect.

What you don’t want is for them to be in conflict. For example, if someone is praying for you to be spiritually saved through your healing process, and that is not in alignment with your intentions, you may find the belief that accompanies their good wishes, causes you more harm than good as your psychic self struggles with the concept of what it means to be saved.

I’ve actually witnessed this in a healing session. Family members had said prayers for a woman’s healing that were in conflict with her spiritual perspectives. Her healing process was being slowed down because her spiritual body was in conflict around her desire to receive the loving regard of her family while rejecting the religious beliefs that were attached to those prayers.

This experience taught me that it is very important when receiving healing prayers to set the intention regarding exactly what energy and beliefs you are willing to receive.

You can most easily do this by becoming clear about your desired outcome and affirming it daily. You can simultaneously affirm that you gladly receive prayers from others that are in alignment with your clear intention, and without any limiting conditions or perspectives from them.

You can always choose to receive someone’s loving regard for you without their stated intentions or beliefs if you appreciate the love, but their intentions are incongruous with yours. After all, most prayers are intended to be acts of love for ourselves and those we care about. And love alone is powerful healing energy.

Receiving the Gifts of Prayers Part I

January 12th, 2010

cuppedhandssmThis weekend some wonderful initiated elders came to our house for a visioning retreat where they held individuals and groups across the world in their sacred feminine arms. In that space of profound love, tremendous healing can occur for those of us open to receive.

Though the ceremony is completed, the power of the ceremony continues and the healing energy is available to all of us.

As I held space for our elders, knowing that I was being graciously included in their prayers, I reminded myself that the benefit of such loving prayers are only truly received as I open myself and willing receiving the blessing.

And so I did, by giving thanks for their prayers and opening my heart to receive their love. Once my heart was filled with profound love, I invited the love to fill my entire body, including the broken and wounded places within me.

Opening to the precious gift of loving prayers requires more than saying or thinking about receiving them.

You really have to open your energetic field and one of the best ways to get that process going is to open your heart.

Here is one of the benefits to receiving prayers based in holding you in loving energy. It allows your own higher consciousness to determine what is right and best for you. The person holding the energy for you is not directing it; simply making the love available for you to use.

I invite you to take a few moments to sit quietly today and receive the love that was held for you this weekend. Allow your heart to open and your higher consciousness to know what to do, and allow yourself to receive the healing benefits their prayers.

Holidays, Family Dynamics, and Self-Healing

December 21st, 2009

poinsettaDuring this holiday season, if you spend more time with your family, you may find your buttons getting pushed. Here is the thing about healing.

Those buttons—those are the very places where you store pent up feelings and ignore unmet core needs that lead to or contribute to illnesses. This holiday could provide a significant opportunity to do some fundamental healing that will allow your mind and body to find greater healing.

Families are where our deepest unmet needs rise to the surface. Those unmet needs unconsciously drive us, and illness, believe it or not, is one way in which we get those needs met.

When you are with family, you may find those unconscious needs becoming very apparent to you. As they do, you are in a better position to identify them and bring your hidden motivators to conscious awareness, where you can meet them in more positive ways.

I remember returning home during the holidays with the hope that my mother might actually be more interested in what I was doing or that my dad would take more notice of my opinions about things. I wanted family dynamics to be different than they were, and so holidays were often a source of great disappointment.

It took a while for me to figure out that my family was just being my family. I was changing and if I was truly growing spiritually, then I needed to be willing to hold the space for them that I was seeking for myself.

In other words, if I wanted to my mother to become more interested in me, then I needed to start a new cycle of interaction by becoming more interested in her. If I wanted my father to listen to my opinions, it meant asking more questions about his views.

Over time, my family might or might not extend the same interest in me, but regardless, I would be bringing healing into our family dynamic. Surely, if I was feeling unrecognized, unheard, or misunderstood, there was a high probability the other family members were feeling the same thing, since such unmet core needs can be (and were in my case) passed down from generation to generation.

I knew that in time, my unmet, core needs would get met—through my family members or someone else. With my family I had the opportunity to recognize the universality of those needs and simply become a healing agent within our family dynamics. I became the compassionate, healing balm we all needed.

Oh sure, I argued with myself that it should be coming from my parents first, not me. After all, they were the parents. But the reality was that I had come to understand the importance of healing core needs in order to heal physically and emotionally. My parents hadn’t come to that realization yet. So who should initiate the change? The one who knows!

In choosing to consciously become that healing agent—listening, caring, asking questions, and being concerned for another—I eventually attracted that energy into my life from friends, and to my surprise, at times from my parents and siblings.

It is amazing how much pain and tension in my body was a direct reflection of those unmet needs, and how quickly illness began healing as I created the space in which those needs could become met.

Perhaps during this holiday season, your family will be the recipient of your healing balm. Perhaps you will feel the call to be the one to bring to your family what each one of them needs most—for their healing and yours.

True and Lasting Healing Is Within Your Reach

November 30th, 2009

rohbookcover2I woke up one morning with these words on the tip of my tongue, “The Root of All Healing.” What the heck is that, I wondered?


It happened two more days in a row. I knew it had to be something significant, but I had no clue what that might be.


Hoping to get some insight I called a couple of my colleagues, asking if they had any ideas for a tele-seminar we might do using this title. Well, they were busy or they thought the title was great but not theirs to address.


I knew I needed to do with this little gift, so I sat down to my computer and typed the title. I sat back and said to myself, “Don’t think, just type and let it come.” The next thing I knew I was typing the following, “7 Steps to Healing Anything.”


I reeled back and said out loud, “I know 7 steps to healing anything?”

It sounded so presumptuous and yet I couldn’t deny that something beyond my day-to-day thinking wanted to come through. I reminded myself that if I was willing to allow the Divine to flow through me, healing wisdom would find its way into words.


And the words came in the form of many years worth of observation—attending to what I had learned about how people heal. Coming from a background in special education, organizational development and acting, I had unconsciously been observing the motivators that caused people to remain ill or to  heal.


I had become a student of miracles, without even realizing it, until I began putting my observations down on paper.


My great discovery was that miracles are created by what is inside of us. I had come to realize that many of us remain ill because a need is getting met through that illness, that we aren’t even aware exists. Simply put, we are unconsciously motivated to be sick.


There is a way out, and the 7 steps that finally made their way into a book, show you how to unlock the miracles inside of you.


On Tuesday, December 1, my book is having its birthday party. I’m formally announcing that it is available for you and those you love.


Read it and discover your birth-right, the inner power that sustains you in being fully and completely well.

Music to Soothe

November 27th, 2009

emergence_release_radioMy dear friend and collegue, Kaleah, is launching her new CD on December 1st, the same day I’m launching my new book, “The Root of All Healing: 7 Steps to Healing Anything.”

So I thought I ‘d give you a sneak preview of Kaleah’s hauntingly beautiful music. She is singing with vocables. In other words, these are not words, they are inspired combinations of consonants and vowels—something I do frequently when I am receiving sounds for healing and well-being.

I find her music to be quite soothing. If you are looking for something to help you unravel as you support your self-care in your healing journey, take a listen to Kaleah’s new CD. You can hear samples at: Kaleah

Take the Time

November 16th, 2009

canoeMy sister-in-law recently crossed over to the other side of the veil and I traveled home for her memorial service. I noticed during this trip, as I have when other family members have died, that when someone I care about crosses over to the other side, I can’t help but slow down my life and reflect about what is really, really important to me.

When I was in my worst pain and discomfort, I discovered exactly the same thing. I needed to slow down enough to reflect on what was truly important to me and let the rest go, because quite frankly, the “rest” was either making me sick or contributing to it.

While I was visiting friends back home, a woman I know that just had major surgery said exactly the same thing. Before she had her surgery, she ended the contract work she was doing that was draining her energy. She just didn’t want to do work that didn’t fulfill her anymore. She knew that she needed to focus on healing and then make some decisions about work that would feed her spiritually as well as physically.

It is so easy to stick with work just because it pays the bills, even though it is not truly our work to do. You can identify that kind of work because you go to work and come home from it more exhausted than energized.

It is so much easier to maintain status quo than it is to make peace with friends and family, find time to meditate, or enjoy time with others. It is easier to stay in relationships that are familiar, but aren’t working for you because it is scarier to heal or leave them. It is easier to repeat non-productive patterns than it is to make change, yet those very patterns may be shortening your life.

Yet, how are you supposed to stay healthy, when your energy is drained and you are stressed?

Once again, I find myself committing to paying attention to what is truly important in my life and making whatever changes I need to make sure that what I do fulfills me. Fulfillment is a powerful way to enjoy life more and put energy into my health.

How about you? If you made the time to get really still and clear, what is truly important in your life?

Overriding Intuition

October 15th, 2009

waterfall1I used to be a master at overriding my intuition. I would get a feeling about something, sometimes accompanied by one of those thoughts in the back of my mind about a direction or choice to make, and then I would logically make a case for taking a different course of action. Because I placed greater value in my logic than I did in my intuitive hunches, I persuaded myself to follow my logic.

What I eventually discovered was that my intuition was usually more accurate than my logic when it came to my healing journey.When I started listening to my intuition I actually started healing. My intuition told me to stop working before I became stressed and exhausted, while my logic wanted me to over-extend myself.

My intuition guided me to healers and doctors that were truly able to help me, while my logic guided me to experts that didn’t know how to address my specific and unique issues. My intuition guided me to my healing gift—the sound medicine inside me—that I use successfully today for preventing and healing illnesses. My logic thought sound medicine was basically wishful thinking but not real.

Please understand. My logic is great!  When my intuition guides me to slow down and rest, my logical mind solves the problem of a day of commitments by re-organizing my schedule so that time becomes available.

When my intuition guides me to a healer, my logical mind will arrange events to get me there. When I’m guided to do sound medicine, my logical mind sets up the equipment and records the sounds. Logic is marvelous and necessary!

However, logic is not superior over intuition when it comes to healing. They both have their place and I need to make sure both of these abilities serve me appropriately if I’m serious about healing. In my own experience, overriding my intuition was frequently a detriment to my health.

So now, when my intuition calls, I listen and let my logic support my intuitive wisdom. How about you, do you follow your intuition?
