Dear Students,
A focus on healing is really equivalent to the focus of Samadhi, or Bliss consciousness, as both are about communion with Universal Energy--the Is-ness of God.
You hear me mention sometimes the "yoking" of one's will to align yourself with God--harnessing, taking the reigns on your life--free will. Let us discuss this.
As a metaphysician, or someone who understands the realm of Spirit and all that that entails--and has learned about universal spiritual principles within this paradigm, or truth, one of the first premises of such an outlook is that you never infringe upon the free will of others. Ever.
A virtuous healer, or someone who has given his or her life in the direction of facilitating healing in others, will always ask permission, prior to applying his or her will in the direction of creating such healing result in another.
Just as as a Roman Catholic, baptized and confirmed, something so basic is the Golden Rule--treat others the way you would like to be treated.
Pretty simple.
May the truth lead the way.
So it is with yoga--that our will is our own, and the life of a yogi/ni is solidified when said yogi/ni has "yoked," or, by choice, turned his or her eyes, in every way, toward God--toward lovingkindness, honor, virtue, sweetness, peace, and embodying the truth, as it is found through one's yoga practice and life experiences which help one to know God, or the truth, of all human life.
Such a will is to be cultivated through one's choice, not thru laws or any person other than him or herself.
That is the journey of the empowered human who has chosen the issuance of Spirit as his or her own, not for favor amongst others, though he or she will gain it--not due to the charge, in any one direction, of his or her peers, friends, teachers, or chosen ones.
It is internally chosen, by will, in every precious, God-given moment...one step at a time, and cannot think about the past or the future in terms of what will come of it. Only that it is as clear as its environment will allow, even as it alters the consciousness and fields of energy of the environments it enters and plays within.
What has been called the "healing path" is the same. To turn one's eyes, or mind, in every way, toward creating health and alignment with God in one's mind, body, emotions, energies, and all else--this is a choice--to heal or not heal. And to get the assistance one would need to do that. Passionately and with fervor. With a reverence for the life one has been given and to see no higher or better pursuit than the excellence of one's entirety. This is the most loving choice.
It would uplift all of humanity if each of us was so bold. To realize that healing oftentimes is right there in the moment and that some of us have created quite a situation for ourselves, in terms of winding ourselves up without plucking out the hidden variables of distrust, miscommunication, diversion, manipulation, and such, first, and dissipating them with our essence.
It is not for us to pretend as if we do not have a responsibility to uplift the quality of life on this planet, and so many of us are spread thin and wide doing everything but being honest.
Why are we making love to spawn more children or agreeing to head up another charity, or cause, when, at home, there is unrest and, moreso, there is tangled-up-ness and dis-ease within ourselves?
The human mind must desire and love God as a result of choosing God and experiencing beautiful, inspiring results. Fortunately, there are peacemakers on the planet who choose this path because there is no other path for them--so momentous is the glory of their soul in this way. It would be like trying to stop a large army headed toward the last battlefield of their life or a comet with a toothpick. It is ridiculous and miraculous and a great honor to have such beings on this earth amongst us.
Choose your masters with discernment.
Peace.
