Quotes About Healing

Oral Roberts's informal estimate of 10 percent healed (Stewart, Only Believe, 58); in the modern faith movement, see Barron, Gospel, 125–36. Van Brenk, "Wagner," 257, cites 29 percent completely healed for Wagner (which would be quite high).

From every wound there is a scar, and every scar tells a story. A story that says, I survived.

Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears.

Con el pésame más profundo y las bendiciones de Dios por la pérdida de alguien tan querido

We have a Savior Who took on our humanity to take on our shame. We have a God Who knows the pain of betrayal, abandonment, humiliation, and violence, Who shows us that wounds can be healed and can be purified. It's okay if your past is messy.

graces. No matter what your future may be, now is not meant to be a time of waiting. Instead, God is teaching you something each step along the way, preparing you to take His hand and walk with Him, trusting that God will lead you to healing.

but consider this: when you bring shards of glass together and shine radiant light through them, you create stained glass. Likewise, God can bring beauty through our scars. He can turn us into living cathedrals. All we need to do is trust in His promise: "Behold, I make all things new" (Rev. 21:5).

Three days later, I popped two ludes, three black beauties, smoked a joint, drank four beers, and then drove to the clinic and had the abortion.

There's one highly effective intervention only you can deliver in a dosage more potent than any secular medical professional could deliver: you can provide acceptance. Radical, loving, compassionate acceptance. The "Jesus touching the leper" kind of acceptance. The acceptance that is expressed with hugs, reassuring pats, and sometimes just the kind of silent but loving physical presence of a parent that anxious children can feel in their bones.

Reconciliation: Our Greatest Challenge--Our Only Hope.

This book is a call for reconciliation in society that is radical, that goes to the roots.

Sometimes at night, when I was alone, or when I was at the pool, in the quiet stillness underwater, my mind would go to that place. To the hospital, to the people there. It was as if my heart could travel, over the miles, over the months that had passed, and I was back with her. Olivia

the healthier our heart rhythm is, the healthier our body is. Studies have shown that a coherent or harmonious heart, which is produced when we center on positive emotion and spiritual truths, can prevent infection, improve arrhythmia, and help heal mitral-valve prolapse, congestive heart failure, asthma, diabetes, fatigue, autoimmune disorders, anxiety, depression, AIDS, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[12]

Ask the Divine to replace any energies that aren't your own—whether these energies are emotional only, mental only, or a partnership of the two—with a healing stream of grace. (The Spirit- to-Spirit technique given in chapter 4 is a good way to separate and release others' emotional energies.) Request also that your own feelings and beliefs, those lodged in and pertinent to your spiritual self, become animate and accessible.

If your problems are physical, you can also intuitively picture a square around the entirety of the field; this shape will keep you safe until you heal. If your challenges are relational in nature, use a circle, and if they're mental, try a triangle.

One of the keys to releasing relational patterns is to let go of cords and other energetic contracts. This imperative process for relational or spiritual boundary clearing is covered in the next section on spiritual-boundary healing for work.

Know also that you might find different parts of your soul scattered in different times, spaces, and lifetimes, and even lingering in between lifetimes. Ask the Divine to gather all parts of your soul and sew them together with love, cleansing, healing, and integrating them through this process. Many mental health disorders are actually outgrowths of a fragmented soul and begin to heal once we're made whole again.

Your imprisoned self. If a trauma was really big or hurtful, the energy of it locks us into the age we were when we experienced it. That part of us never gets to grow up, to stretch, grow, and fly. She or he is incarcerated in the energetic fibers created by the people or situation that injured us. We must rescue this hidden, trapped self in order to release the negative energies keeping him or her in prison.

You can support your spiritual-field repair with prayer, meditation, or contemplation. Prayer sends messages to the Divine; meditation quiets the self so it can receive a response. Contemplation is like having tea with God; we can sit and stare into the Divine's eyes forever, basking in this eternal presence, and simply enjoy our own nature.

But doing others' work for them, even emotional work, robs them of the right to feel their feelings and heal their own pain and issues. We can only learn from our own problems; we can heal only issues that are our own. Think about how different you'd feel if you were free of all those shoulds and instead focused on your own coulds. That's the goal of establishing the correct energetic boundaries.

Pink quartz creates a more loving atmosphere; it is highly helpful for healers who don't want to fight power with power, but instead share love and compassion.

The healing forces go out, and what replaces them but the energy that others are trying to get rid of. Out goes the energetic cure for the other person's cold, and chances are, in comes the energy of cold itself. Out goes your compassion and wisdom, and in comes the other person's depression and confusion. The hardest part of being a healer isn't that you are helping; you like helping. It's that you become burdened with the problems you are fixing.

A clockwise spiral draws in desirable energy, filling in boundary holes and attracting life-enhancing support. Use intention to bring healing and higher-order energy spiraling into your physical energy field, visualizing them coming straight into your field and then into your hip area.
