There are no limits to how spiritual healing can help us. We do not have to have a specific illness or condition that we wish to have resolved; experience has shown that healing works equally well on emotional challenges and indeed this is the origin of many of our health challenges.

Re-energize!

This article is based on a free lecture Jenny gave at the Vision For Living Health Show in Cardiff on 19 April 2008.


Everything is made up of energy. Everything material - all our possessions, the buildings we live and work in, the vehicles we drive - is simply a mass of vibrating particles and atoms. Our physical bodies can be viewed as bundles of light energy, seen as solid on the Earth plane.

Energy cannot be destroyed but it can be transformed, and energy is infinite. So, if we feel we have little or no energy for most of the time, it's either because we are allowing our energy to drain away before we've used it effectively, or because have a health imbalance - often brought about by allowing our energy to drain away.

The more energy we use, the more becomes available to us, so the phrase 'use it or lose it' means a great deal in this context. We know that, from a physical point of view, if we are feeling tired (but not completely exhausted), doing something physical like a brisk walk, gentle jogging, swimming or cycling, makes us feel energized afterwards. Energy is there for us to use if we choose to.

The inner response to change

Change is one of the very few certainties in life and it is the area with which many of us have the greatest difficulty. With the fast-paced lives that we now lead, constant change is a major and inescapable fact of life for us all.

Just as the caterpillar changes into a butterfly so will we develop, grow and change throughout our lives, whether we wish to or not. Life is change and growth. Butterfly on purple Buddleia

In general, there are two types of change in our everyday lives:

Environmental – changes that happen to us, from outside of us, and over which we may seemingly have little or no control; and
Personal – changes that we decide on, happening from within ourselves.

When change is causing us difficulty, it is obviously important to respond to it creatively rather than destructively. So many people wish for serenity in their lives, often in the expectation that when they achieve it, their lives will become stable and unchanging. But what is more helpful is to be able to experience serenity while we are responding to change – because change is not going to stop happening whatever we do or don’t do.

From my research and the anecdotal evidence I have gathered from my healing work, there seems to be a sequence of actions that can help us towards achieving the serenity that will help us respond creatively to change.

Relaxation and The Breath of Life

The Breath of Life

Looking up through a leafy tree in summer

Our breathing is controlled by our autonomic nervous system and, as the name suggests, it is an automatic response - we don't have to think about each breath, our brain and body does this for us. As a result we tend to take for granted the air that gives us life and the response that allows us to breathe.

The first thing a baby usually does when it comes out of the womb is to breathe. And we need to go back to our first few days, months and years in order to learn again how to breathe in a way that is easy for our bodies and which is relaxing.

If you watch a baby sleeping, you can learn again the best way of breathing, which is the natural, unforced method of breathing using the belly area. When we breathe in, our bellies expand and when we breathe out, our bellies contract. This allows the diaphragm to move downwards giving a greater area into which the lungs can expand, and thus a larger amount of air is sucked into the body.

It is fascinating to see people in workshops returning again to this form of breathing - the studied facial expressions while they try to master this forgotten skill are quite comical. Many of us find it very difficult to achieve this because we have spent so much of our time breathing through the upper chest. Expanding the rib cage is much more labour intensive because of the cumbersome nature of the skeleton.

Natural Energy Healing

If you would like to have distant healing sent to someone or for yourself, please click here.

I am a member of the Universal Association of Healers - for more information, and for distant healing requests from all members of the Association, please go to www.uahealers.org

Healing is probably one of the most natural activities in the world. We all do it to one degree or another: comforting those left after losing a loved one; allowing someone the space to talk to us about a problem; giving a child a hug when they fall over and hurt themselves. Whenever we offer help to another soul in whatever form, this is a form of healing because we have the intent to soothe their spirit - to help them to know that the world is not as scary a place as it might seem at that moment. We are all healers.
