Healing: Get out of the Way!
The human body has an incredible power for healing. I have personally witnessed many occasions of healing over the course of my life, yet never cease to be amazed. Recently I was witness to an incredible healing of my own, in which my body took care of a situation in 8 days that normally takes 3 to 4 weeks. I didn’t really do anything special to effect that result, just took my medicine and let the rest take care of itself. I got out of the way.
What did Michael have to say about healing? Heal the World! We are not used to “healing” anything, because our bodies take care of that for us. We can’t do much to heal ourselves, except get out of the way and let nature take its course. That “getting out of the way” is very important, and very hard for us humans to do: we want to DO SOMETHING. We are so used to being in control of our lives, even when they seem out of control. So we want to control the healing, too. Remember the saying, Don’t just stand there, DO SOMETHING! We think we are not being helpful if we are not consciously doing something.
But real healing is not something we can “will” into being. Real healing requires rest and allowing the healing processes that already exist, given to us by our Creator, to do what they do best. If we get too busy “doing something,” our body is using energy to do that “something” that it should have available for healing. So the natural healing process is actually delayed.
Michael said, “Heal the world.” He also said, “we are the world.” Maybe we need to think about healing ourselves first, so that we can then be more fit to help the rest of the world.
For a change, let’s get out of the way.
