]]> Comment on How to Approach Self-Healing—Are Positive Emotions Enough? by MisaH http://misahopkins.com/self-healingsecrets/?p=650&cpage=1#comment-1496 MisaH Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:51:44 +0000 http://misahopkins.com/self-healingsecrets/?p=650#comment-1496 Ray, Absolutely beautiful. Indeed, when we are that state of love, the body and emotions recognize this state, which is truly our most profound natural state. It is as though pain cannot exist in the same space. Words are so elusive, aren't they, when describing this? I have read that the great healer, Black Elk, used to send someone wanting healing out to a tree where he encouraged them to rest for four days before he did healing work. Mother Earth is a great natural healer, when we become present to her rhythms. It does not surprise me that the animals draw near. They seem to recognize this state of being and its purity. My Cherokee ancestors, I believe, would have called this the "Natural" where you are in harmony with all living beings. Thank you so much for sharing your approach and your experience. Ray,

I wait for the happiness to come past the physical pain and bask in that comfort for a while. The pain will leave. The more I am able to do this- the more my body, spirit and emotions all align in a composed desire for healing. When I get to this point, I have to hold it and the healing will come. I need a place in nature not necessarily quiet, but with only natural sound. It's hard to find, but when I find it I notice animals and birds in close proximity, and as long as I sit fairly still, they will stay. This also helps the healing as it as if nature approves.

Thank you for this ! The distinctions are very useful. But there is a difficult part in all healing process for me : how to find out what my core belief is that created the condition I'm in ? By definition, my unconscious beliefs are hidden to my consciousness and I don't always get access to them even when I intend to ! (And then, if I do have an inkling.... there is the challenge of installing a new belief !) How does one access to one's deeply rooted unconscious beliefs ? any fool proof method ? Emmeline Hi Misa !

I know that place, because as I shared in the article, I've done it! It is challenging to stay intensely focused while also remaining relaxed and accepting. It is like the perfect balancing point of the polarities, isn't it? The great masters throughout time have given us koan's (statements that are oxymorons to or every day thinking) to consider when we desire to find that place of transcendence within us. Our healing journeys show us over and over that healing is a gateway to awakening. You have clearly understood where the true work and true opportunity lives! Let me know how this insights changes your experience of healing. Conny, ah yes. I know that place, because as I shared in the article, I've done it!

Focus can certainly make a difference, but when we become attached to the outcome rather than allow it, we do indeed restrict the cells ability to respond to our intentions. Too much tension or attachment implies that we are more in fear than in trust. Please let me know what differences you discover in your journey as you embody what you so beautifully describe as "a state of graceful acceptance."

This is what I seem to be experiencing. I am healing my type II diabetes. I get excited when I have a real low blood sugar reading. The next day it will be back up even higher than before. I'll work on being more relaxed about the whole process and accepting whatever is in store. It is difficult to work intensively on something and still be relaxed and accepting. I did purchase your book and find it very helpful. Thanks Misa. This is what I seem to be experiencing. I am healing my type II diabetes. I get excited when I have a real low blood sugar reading.

I think that's something I can relate to - and explains, in part, why my own success seems erratic and inconsistent. I should observe myself more, but I guess that when I am in a state of graceful acceptance, healing simply occurs. Thanks for the article and the profound, yet simple messages you are sharing with all of us.

In his opinion, both ways of deepening our understanding is valid. It does seem that so much, if not all, of the healing journey is about realizing there is nothing to be fixed when we are healing. Rather, it is an invitation to open to a greater consciousness of Spirit through a process, we call healing. I'm not sure I even think of healing as flow, at this juncture in my life, as I think of it as presence in which our essential truth is known. The key, it seems to me is in becoming aware of how we are being with our truth. All that said, even enlightened masters can be challenged by their physical bodies, so indeed, as you have suggested, perhaps we humans still have much to understand.
