“I would like to know, in your long history of working in this new age adjacent field. When advice and such has translated to people healing physical maladies. Since you mentioned that you intend to work on yourself in that regard as well?”

I am working on myself in this way. It’s an experiment to some extent. And you’re right. I have been involved in or exposed to metaphysical ideas since I was born.
It began with my grandfather, Henry. He taught us of the tie between your emotional or psychic state and your physical health. For example, he taught us to only listen to music that calms the spirit. He taught us to expect the best of people, but to avoid those who prove disagreeable and basically vex the spirit.
He taught us that laugher is the best medicine, which is derived from, Proverbs 17:22, which states, “A cheerful heart is good medicine.”
Later in life, in my early twenties, I dated a man who used to say, “if you’re not at ease, you’re diseased.” I laughed at the time. I shouldn’t have.
My next teacher was, “Louise Hay”, who I also stumbled on in my 20’s. If you’re getting the idea, I’m a slow learner, I am. I’m naturally skeptical, and probably naturally rejecting as well. When Ms. Hay said I had lung problems, because of “angry words, unspoken”, my first response was not, “makes sense and Mars conjunct Mercury”. I was more like, F you! What angry words? I don’t have f’in angry words…’
But I did learn! I did, slowly learn. So while I would never claim to physically heal someone (God does that), I can say, I do have a healing affect on people and I’ll explain
If someone calls me, upset, and I’m able to calm and reassure them, there has been a healing affect. They hang up the phone, less jagged and in many cases, they can maintain this calmer state. It’s easier to find solutions to problems when you’re not in a panic.
I’ve had multiple major surgeries so I get a lot of falls from people with surgery scheduled; they’re scared to death. If I calm them on the way into surgery, do they have a better result? They probably do. They have an easier time emotionally, for sure, but I suspect it aids healing too. How could it not? Fear builds and cascades, causing cortisol to surge through the body. I’m pretty sure this is why good medical people make every effort to calm you as you head into surgery. Because it matters?
It’s a blurry line. If the medical people who do this every day, did not see a difference, why would they bother to work so hard to be kind and reassuring?
I am my own type of medical person, doing this every day, and yes. If someone comes to me upset and leaves laughing; it matters.
I may have some healing quality about me. I have been seen this way, throughout my life, in different scenarios. I’m talking about being with a large group of people in, Las Vegas. They all rub my head for luck. What the hell. It’s a weird example but meant to illustrate because people around me perceive things, I cannot. I would never say, “Rub my head for luck!” How stupid is that! But they do it.
I’m also grounded in a way people like. I explained this here:
“When advice and such has translated to people healing physical maladies.”
Impossible to say. But if being, calm, relaxed and happy can heal physical illness, then yes. And this include physical pain, which I also have a lot of experience with.
I feel, physical pain worsens if I’m emotionally upset. Can’t prove it, but this is my experience. It’s on this premise, I am working on my back, via my emotional and psychic state.
It seems to be going well. The correlation is not at all vague in my case.
What do you know about metaphysics and the healing of physical maladies?
I have found that listening to music that you love, and inspires your heart, is great for healing…and such music can come from all sorts of genres and performers….
I just got this via email:
“I don’t know if you remember me…I won the Astro Fairy consultation with you earlier this year. Well, I cannot thank you enough for the knowledge it provided, which I have kept in mind and my back pocket as I navigated the rest of this year…..I was so lost and afraid, and that call gave me the beam of light I needed to keep going!”
I don’t think this is that big a stretch. You can make you life better – period.
I recently read an article that the sense of awe does something in the brain that reduces pain. It turns off some switch or something.
I think the mind and body absolutely work together. I’ve had chronic pain for over twenty years, and I know that when my emotions are dark, or my stress is high, my pain is worse. When I look at a beautiful sunset, or watch a hawk circling in the sky… awe… I feel lighter.
Exactly! And if you’re up, it helps others stay up. Hence the way this blog is at this time. 🙂
