The Power of Directed Prayer – Energetics

I have practiced energetics for close to 25 years.  I have witnessed amazing things happen, and I know that much of what we experience we actually do desire or open ourselves up to.  If you begin to pay attention to your thoughts and how you take ideas into your mind and heart, then you recognize the “birth” moments of experience.  I will share one bad one with you.  Back when Joe Theisman had his terrible career ending injury, I truly went into that moment out of my sensitivity to others.  I did not know at the time that I was opening myself up to living that experience, but in 2000 I had a compound pylon fracture of my right leg!  It changed me from that day on, but I gained so much more.

I lived with crippling pain for almost 10 years.  There were some days I would just go to my office and cry because of the agony I was in.  I would call my partner up on my way home and ask for the crutches to be brought to me when I arrived because I just could not walk on my own.  Then, as I was sitting outside at lunch one day I was meditating and trying to center myself and focusing on my pain.  I recalled a lesson I had learned a long time ago, but was not embracing then and that was, to love my pain.  Oh, it’s not some sick idea of getting off on pain, but the recognition of what is, the physics of force in that every action has an equal and opposite reaction so if I applied resistance to the pain it was going to push back.  So, I needed to let it go, and since the strongest force I know of healing is love, I simply centered myself, accepted my leg and in a space of divine love and acceptance the pain disappeared!

I was without pain for pretty much the next month, and then if it came back I would again pause, recognize it and relax in a moment of surrender and love and the pain would go away.  I don’t want you to miss the first part though of what I shared in that I birthed this moment I am sure when I joined in empathy with Joe.  Many healers have to learn to let the pain of others go and not let it take root in themselves less they find themselves very sick.  Massage therapists will often do a short exercise of energy cleansing before and after they treat their clients.  Visual cues of washing are helpful but not necessary in energetics, but to start out they really do help.  It’s like a Christian who has a bible on their car seat.  There is nothing intrinsic in a book, but what one identifies in their heart does matter. It’s the same for those tiny crosses some carry in their pocket.  They don’t even have to meditate on it because their faith is nurtured enough that it become subliminal at some point that just touching it stirs that faith and activates a flow of spiritual energy around them.  MORE
