Balance
of Spirit and Self for Healing
|
My
dearest friend, companion and wife once wrote a paper on Keep
It Simple Spiritually K.I.S.S. and that is the way you should approach
healing terminal illness. A part of healing terminal illness is balance.
I key part of balance that most folks forget is; yes you need to take in but you
also need to give back. To give back or a simple giveaway can be as simple
as sharing your enlightenment and Spirit with others at any opportunities that
come. You do not have to give away large monetary amounts even though
charity is good. To really effect change in this world we need to reach
out to each other with greater understanding. When we can do this there
will come greater acceptance and tolerance. Then we can grow more
universal love and compassion for others. To reach out with your heart
open to others is the most wonderful gift you can give. To face your own
mortality you have to face your own heart. The truth that lives within
your heart, if shared with others will touch them and it stays with them.
It becomes a part of their life and it then becomes a part of a quiet ministry.
Then you and your essence of who you are never goes away. Who you were is
just a part of everyone you’ve touched. So again in order to heal, in
order to have the coping skills needed to deal with cancer or terminal illness
you must give back.

K.I.S.S.
another way you can give back is to develop your own gratitude prayer.
Just be thankful for you’re live. Be thankful for what you are working
on or the understanding you have achieved in your life.

Wake
up, be mindful, be grateful and give back. These are all keys to healing.
We all want to heal, we want to take in and we need to take in, but with a
balance. We need the balance of taking in what you need to heal.
Take in the medications, the energy, the love, the compassion of others and the
support. Take all that in and accept it but also give back. In order
to truly heal it has to move both ways. When you find the balance
unbelievable gifts sometimes can just fall in your lap. I recently
received a Christmas
Miracle that gave me conformation and told me that I am working in the right
direction. This is what will help to give you strength and hope, accept
them these show that you are growing. Spiritual gifts are the conformation
that you are healing and developing on your path.

There
is a life force in our body. Sometimes you hear it called your Chi or your
charkas system. Energy flows through the body in multiple directions.
You have to allow the life force to enter and to exit. Just like breath,
you breath in the four winds. You utilize the oxygen, you take from it and
then you release your manna, you breath back upon the four winds. So you
are taking in and giving back. With that you need to do is include Spirit,
your Self is breathing in the winds and giving back to the winds. Now lets
include Spirit, you are going to breath in Spirit and the universal all.
You are going to use your heart to work with Spirit and the universal all.
Through your heart you know your truth. Knowing your truth you can speak
it upon the winds and let it be known. You are now sharing your Spirit and
giving back. In this way you strengthen your life force your Chi. Allowing
the energy to flow in and flow out just like breathing. The more you
practice with this simple discipline, allowing it to come into your heart and
knowing your truth gives your life force more balance. Just like
breathing, you need to do it all the time, every moment even when you’re
sleeping. You process so much when you sleep, bring that forth, work with
that. There might be some clues there for you or solutions to obstacles
that you can overcome. But remember you have to cultivate the mind to work
and listen to your heart. We have grownup in this culture to use our mind
to make an income and rule our life. Unfortunately you all have been hurt
in this lifetime at some point. That makes you want to shut down your
heart. There is a fear that if you open your heart that it will get hurt.
But the heart is very strong; remember that is where the light of Spirit burns.
When you open your heart with the light of Spirit no one can touch that, no one
can hurt that. Because it is all a part of the same love that everyone
else is connected to. It is a part of the same universal consciousness or
universal mind that we call God. So no one can hurt that. You
cultivate your mind to listen through your open heart. You know your
truth. You speak your truth. Your giving back and balancing.
You can then begin to HEAL. You will begin to have the strength and
correct purpose to heal. The overwhelming love and compassion for others
is very powerful.

You
also have to remember when working with your connection to spirit and increasing
your spiritual growth. Not to forget the Self, you have to foster the
positive aspects of your human side at the same time. In your healing
process balance is the most important part of your work. You have to keep
that life force energy flowing in order to heal. So how do you foster your
human side? What do you do? Part of the physical and chemical
therapies that you go through causes you to dread. Because they put you
through so much anguish and pain. It creates suffering for your Self.
So you have to do what you can to alleviate the pain but maintain your mental
clarity. One way to do this is through visualization and another way is
through prayer. Your human side or Self needs ceremony to strengthen
itself and quiet the mind. Prayer and visualization are both a way of
giving your Self ceremony. Ceremony allows the human side to release and
to build up at the same time. Allowing it release so Spirit can work and
allowing the build up of the positive aspects of your human side. Building
up aspects like humor, sense of drive and egos. Those are things that you
need to be human.
