Healing energy
QUESTION: Masters, there is something I have been wondering about healing: what is the difference between going to a healer and taking things into my own hands by lying down and asking my guides to do healing work on me? I have received healing from both these sources. I know every healer is different, but is there an advantage in our actually making the effort to go to a healer? What part does intention play? Have my guides healed me when I haven’t even asked?
ANSWER: Healing involves many things. The term generally refers to balancing the body from some form of dis-ease it is undergoing, or unblocking a stoppage of the flow of energy through the body. These conditions occur in your bodies for a number of reasons and the reason they occur gives you a solution to their dispersal.
When a soul chooses to come to Earth, to be in the positive/negative duality, it is with the intention to experience certain lessons. A number of these lessons entail working with unbalanced conditions to the body itself. An example would be a major illness that tests your faith in yourself and your beliefs about Source and presents complicated life situations with family and friends.
A paralysis may have been your choice to see if you could discover self-confidence and worth. You would also have to be vulnerable as a human being and be able to ask for assistance when it is needed. All of these are very important and common lessons for a soul. If you heal yourself from being paralyzed before you have experienced the desired lessons, you will have to repeat them in another way or in another life.
In such situations as the above example, healing energy may not heal what you see as the problem—the paralysis—but may aid your soul’s journey by helping you see and learn the intended lessons. When your intention is to correct a problem, healing may balance out the physical problem or help you see the energetic reason for the problem in the first place. Going further, it is then a possibility to continue on and balance out the physical problem now that you have learned your lesson.
Your question assumes that your sole lesson is using your intention to manifest a balanced body at all times. Each request, intention, and concentration on the issue has some effect but not always on what you think needs work most. Channeling in the energy can be done by the individual, multiplying the energy through a talented healer, or with assistance from guides. Guides never just step in. You may have been consulting them about another problem, the actual reason for your physical problem, and they helped with the physical balance because you no longer needed the ailment, having completed the lesson. This is where freedom of choice reigns.
