Natural Medicine - Personal philosophy
I am a Reiki Master but only
offer healing to those who seek it in desperation. It has brought relief to
some and helped others cope with physical and emotional traumas. On a few
occasions I have seen miraculous cures or effects. I have run sessions on
self-healing for people wanting to share their knowledge and experiences. The
aim was to encourage them to take ownership for their own health and also to
offer compassionate support to others. I am conscious that complementary
therapists can also be as dogmatic as some mainstream doctors. I list my own
beliefs based on personal experience, which others may reject. I believe:
•
That I am only a small even if sometimes significant part of people’s Fate
o
That I cannot change
their or my Fate - neither can others.
What will be will be. This encourages me to be authentic
and act as if I had Free Will to have a beneficial impact.
o
This belief frees me
to be courageous and to do what I believe to be in the best interest of
others with their consent and co-operation.
It also enables me to hold my ground against coercive and dogmatic
individuals and to experiment on myself.
o
Experience has taught
me that therapists, like doctors, cannot change people’s Fate but the energy
sparked by genuine compassion and empathy can release blocked energy in
others, enabling them to cope even if not heal themselves.
•
That my role is one of being a channel for some Universal energy of healing,
which can be experienced.
o
Unfortunately, that
experience is difficult to communicate and cannot be commanded. It is only fleeting but is enough to
convince those affected that there is more to life than meets the eye and
that there is a mystical dimension to life which transcends the material.
o When the client is not making progress, it could be that the
current therapist may not be the best person to help the client.
o
Even therapists can
benefit from the services of other healers. For example, when a therapist
used me to demonstrate the Access Barrs method, it
had the unintended effect of healing my Plantar Fasciitis within a week when
the hospital told me that it would take 6 months to heal. Nothing I tried on
myself had helped.
Also:
• We dont know everything the client really needs, as opposed
to wants.
·
We can get guidance
through intuition and divination. Sometimes this has indicated that even
complex medical problems will resolve themselves with time, as they did for
us. At other times, Divination
revealed cures which we either had been unaware of or would not have thought
of.
o
When we do not get the
outcomes we want, it could be because:
o the client is not receiving the form of treatment which best
suits that person. For example, not everyone can succeed with Mindful
Meditation. They may find Tai Chi
Qigong or some other movement (flow) based meditation easier and more
beneficial.
o the client is not ready psychically and emotionally to heal
themselves at a subconscious level despite desperately wanting to do so.
o there are reasons we are unaware of and not the client’s lack of
compliance with the specified follow-up procedures and protocols.
o the client is unable to grow out of self-pity and a victim
mentality, largely due to a subconscious reliance on others. Not all clients
have the capacity to find their inner strength and confidence to believe that
only they can heal themselves.
o
We must respect the
variety of belief systems, including atheism, which people lean on. While therapists may share the beliefs
which have given them strength and brought joy, there is no need to expect
the client to “convert” to their beliefs to be healed. People who are not open to counselling and
philosophical thinking, are often relaxed by the energy of compassionate love
(to the extent that self-claimed insomniacs fall asleep) allowing the body to
heal itself without the intervention of thought.
Words,
like music and imagery, have the power to change how we feel. Here are some which inspired me.
The
Prayer of St Francis of Assisi – sung by Susan
Boyle
Hymn
– I would
be True
My school mates and I have
tried to live by it for some 70 years.

Serenity
Prayer
May
the Divine grant me the serenity
to
accept the things I cannot change;
courage
to change the things I can;
and
the wisdom to know the difference.
