Grace and Clarity

Today we begin chapter two in a three-part saga about healing one’s body, mind and life.  What you are about to read is a true story, recounted with the permission of the woman who lived it whose name has been changed for privacy.  If you have not read chapter one, I encourage you to take in the inspiring story of a courageous person who would not let the past dictate her future.  And now, Chapter two of “Laura’s Hope for Healing…”

My heart felt sickened as I heard the story of a young woman deprived of her joy.  Laura had become a slave to her eating disorder.  As she told her story, the Divine Insight of the Guides came into perfect focus.

It always takes a bit of courage to share theories with people when I receive direction from the Guides.  But I sensed that Laura had trusted me in revealing some very intimate history, and I felt that at the very least she deserved a chance to hear the Truth.  What happened next would change Laura’s life forever, and start us on a Journey to unraveling the most mysterious case of body-mind-spirit connection I had ever encountered…

As gently as possible, I told Laura what I had experienced during our sessions.  I started by explaining the gift of clairaudience, which allows a person to hear the words the Angels speak to him or her.  I shared that during our first week together I had been told Laura’s condition was energetically rooted and that I had later sensed it was connected to the way she was using her body.

Was it just possible, I asked Laura, that she had deformed her body through her hatred of it?  Could it be that she had been forcibly willing her belly to go “back, back, back” for so long that her spine had finally bulged outward in a desperate attempt to obey?  Understanding that every cell in the body is known to have intelligence, to be able to read the intention of the brain, was it possible that her spine had tried to acquiesce to the point of deformation?

Laura was stunned.  She had never put the two together before and a new light of awareness dawned in her eyes.  The expression she wore of fierce courage in the face of this new hypothesis spurned me on.

And what of the fact that she could still dance, I asked?  That high-impact form of exercise should have been eliminated far before walking, but still it held on.  I suggested that it was owing to the fact that every other form of exercise was known by her body to be a means of punishment and brutal manipulation.  Dancing was her only method of exercise born of sheer, joyful abandon and it seemed her body knew it.

Laura’s face lit up.  Based upon this new understanding, she speculated that perhaps what had been done by her mind to her body could be undone in the same fashion.  Maybe her mind’s attempt to force her body into an unrealistic ideal could be undone by attending to the root causes of fear and frustration.  In that moment, yoga suddenly found the fulfillment of its true purpose: to create healing in the body with the help of the mind and spirit—not in spite of them.

Together, Laura and I set about making a plan.  The goal was to begin sending healing vibrations to her spine.  At this point, Laura was living with chronic pain the doctors had said would be her lot for the rest of her life.  She had been given an arsenal of pills to manage the searing sensations she lived with every day and I asked her to continue taking her medicine as usual.

However, I also asked Laura to have a daily conversation with her body, telling her back’s pain receptors that it was safe to go “off-duty.”  Let the pain response know it can turn off now, I recommended.  Thank your body for its wisdom and warning, but tell it that you have heard the alarm and are attending to the emergency.

The following week Laura was beaming.  She told me she had been able to reduce her pain medications by almost half in just one week, finding her back hurt much less throughout the day.  We continued sending the signals to the pain system and added communication to the actual muscles around her bump.

The visualization was to be one of an ice cream cone slowly melting away.  Once a day, Laura committed to visualizing her bump softening, smoothing out and becoming even with the other side of her back.  Her visualization practice was over when she could see clearly imagine the right and left sides of her back looking exactly the same.

With astonishing success, Laura began miraculously healing her body of the ravages of pain.  In addition to her yoga and visualizations, Laura had begun working with a chiropractor who supported her mind/body approach and gave her hope that she could lead a life not consumed by pain.  They began meeting on a regular basis and with the combined methodologies, Laura began to see even greater results.  Her medication was now used only weekly and her back muscles were beginning to stretch and respond to her daily yoga routine.

A month later we decided to implement the final level of imagery, which was to visualize Laura’s spinal column itself straightening into healthy alignment.  Instead of taking a jog to the right below her waist, Laura imagined it being slowly pulled into a perfectly straight line before her very eyes.  I asked her to visualize her spine straightening three times in a row before concluding and simply going on about her day.

The results were miraculous.  Week after week, Laura was gaining ground.  The pain and other medications prescribed for her back had been formally removed by her doctor.  She was able to sit in a car without pain and even take a bike ride for the first time in years.

The rest of her body was improving, too.  What were once black and painful-looking toes battered from merciless exercise were now polished and healthy.  She had clearly stopped abusing her body and her entire Energy was changing because of it.

I think by anyone’s standards Laura’s story is an impressive one: A courageous woman has the fortitude to heal herself of an agonizing illness, effectively putting an end to generations of emotional anguish and physical torment.  But the story doesn’t stop there–not even close.  Because as it happens, Laura was not the only one in her family needing a new relationship with her body.

As Laura faithfully crafted a balanced life day by careful day, healing Energy began to expand outward like ripples on a pond, first saving the life of her oldest son and later bringing healing to her son’s relationship with his father.

Who knew one woman’s courage could do so much for so many?
