About
our Healing
Thank
you for taking the time to read about God’s healing work that
William and
I do. Jan and Johnny call us “World Class Healers.”
I’m not sure
that I agree with that.
After all, what is a World Class Healer?
Being called that is a good stroke for the ego, but we try
to keep the ego out of it. I
keep telling them that I have a hard time writing or speaking about
the work since I really don’t know what goes on during the work.
I can only give you my perceptions of what happens.
A
little background: I’ve
always known that I wanted to help people.
I’ve wanted to make a difference in people’s lives.
I’ve wanted to serve on some level.
For many years, I thought that I could “fix” whatever was
wrong and didn’t understand when the people I was trying to help
didn’t change what needed to be changed when the solution was so
“clear”. What
I forgot was that change happens within and in Divine Timing.
Until the person who was asking for help was willing to change
the situation, there was nothing I could do.
My ego was in the way and so was their intent.
I
saw a book in my church library as a child that fascinated me.
It was printed in black and white.
This book showed photos of Albert Schweitzer in Africa
helping/healing black tribes’ people.
Growing up in the south during desegregation, I admired this man.
At the time I wasn’t sure what I admired, and may not be now.
The ability to put into words, to analyze a situation is not one
of my talents. But
what I feel about that book, those beautiful black and white photographs
of a white man with wild white hair in a white suit working to heal
these very black people in the time of Jim Crow, touched my heart.
Thinking back on it I feel that it was not only Schweitzer’s
ability to take medicine to a place that seemed so primitive, so foreign
and strange, and his lack of fear, but his ability to love and to give
unconditionally.
In
the early nineties I was being treated by an energy healer named Gene.
It seemed that I had developed allergies “to the late 20th
century” (William’s description).
And it was true.
I was a very sick person.
During a session one day, Gene asked me what kind of work I saw
myself doing. I
guess he didn’t see me as the world class waitress I was!
But I was in service to people on a level I knew and was
comfortable with. My
answer to him, without thought, was, “I see myself being a healer, not
unlike you.” “And
when do you see that happening?”
“Oh gosh, not until I’m much older- in my fifties!”
I was 42 at the time.
After all, if I was going to be a healer, I needed time to learn
to be one.
Time
passed. William
and I had many experiences that changed our lives.
One of those experiences led us away from the comfort of our home
in North Carolina and to the high deserts of Southern California.
Once we were in the desert, my healing abilities began to
increase. I
had hit the age of 50.
We
have had many successes in our work.
That is because the people who came to us for healing had the
intent to be healed and believed that God would work through us for that
healing. I’ve
been guided all along not to take classes to learn to heal.
The voice in my head always told me that I would be given the
information I needed to do the healing.
It took a few years before my faith caught up to “the voice”.
I now know that I am the instrument in the healing work.
I don’t heal people.
It’s the intent between the client to healed, William’s prayer
offering for the client’s healing, and my ability to place my hands on
the client and get out of the way for God to work through me.
What happens?
I’ve not sure.
I feel energy move.
Sometimes I’m told where to place my hands and how to move
them. Or
I’m told to pull energies out of the body.
Whether it’s the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual body,
I rarely know. We
remove earthbound spirits, negative or evil intenties.
We balance the body.
I know that the energy that moves through me, God’s energy,
knows where to go. The
healing continues for several days after I’ve removed my hands from
your body. Will
it heal everything? Maybe,
maybe not. The
energy will heal what is for the Highest Good to be healed.
It won’t get in the way of Karma.
Sometimes we are not meant to be healed.
God has other plans.
The
truth is that you can heal yourself if you are meant to be healed.
We are all Divine.
We are God. God
can heal Him/Herself.
Then why would you come to William and me if you can heal yourself?
The same reason I went to Gene.
I believed in Duality at the time- that I was separate from God.
This
is an excerpt from Sathya Sai Baba’s Teachings on Advaita or
Non-Dualism to Western Devotees in 1983.
Sai Baba is an Avatar in India.
Devotee:
Swami, do I, as an individual, exist at all?
Sai
Baba: I!
I! I!
Always this I.
First you must ask “Who is this I?
Who am I?”
Devotee
(persisting): But
Swami is there no individual anything?
Sai
Baba: When
you realise the Self, then there is no separate individual.
You can think of individuals as different light bulbs.
There will be differences in wattage.
There will be differences in age, in colour, in form, in name.
One is a tube light and another is a bulb light.
There will be differences in shape, but everywhere the current
that powers them is the same.
That current is you.
You are not a bulb which appears different from any other bulb.
You are the current, the one current that is found in all the
bulbs. That
is who you are.
Devotee:
Swami, is there any difference between me and God?
Sai
Baba: You
are God. You
are not the ego. You
are God! You
are God!
Devotee
(incredulously): I
am God???
Sai
Baba: Yes!
Yes! You
are atma, the one Self.
You are permanent.
The physical body is not permanent.
The physical is not the Self, but you are the Self, not the
physical. You
are God. Think
like this always. Do
not think about the body.
Think about God.
The body comes and goes.
For the body there is birth and death, but you are not the body.
The body is just rust and dust.
Devotee:
Swami, I do healing and I wanted to ask......
Sai
Baba (interrupting):
Healing comes from God.
Think of God.
God is everything. He will always do what is needed.
Think only of surrendering to God.
You may say “I am healing others”, but this is just your ego
speaking. Healing
cannot come through the ego.
Thinking that you are doing healing is very harmful.
You are not the one who is doing the healing.
You are only the instrument.
God does everything.
Think only of Him.
Love Him.
