 Spiritual healing and energy-work healing share identical goals. They only differ in the way they approach the end result.
Spiritual healing looks past the illusion of problems and affirms only the underlying perfection as truth, while energy work focuses upon the problem and then tries to heal it. Spiritual healing utilizes thoughts, words, mind, and spirit, while energy work uses light and material or etheric instruments. Your inner guide will help you choose the most appropriate means of healing for each situation.
Releasing unforgiveness
As with spiritual healing on human clients, spiritual healing the earth primarily involves releasing unforgiveness since it is the mass race consciousness fuelling social and environmental problems.
Unforgiveness is a thought form that divides the world into good guys and bad guys. The ego-self feels comfortable blaming outside forces for its nightmares. In this way, the ego is assured of its own continuing existence. After all, once a person discovers that the ego and its perceptions are nothing but illusions, the ego is essentially removed from its throne. Like the Wizard of Oz, the ego continually tells us to ‘pay no attention to that man behind the curtain' while diverting our attention to outside displays of thunder and lightning.
We cannot heal the nightmare of global warming, rain forest destruction, and such by holding on to judgments and anger toward ‘bad guy’ perpetrators. This focus creates a huge petri dish that breeds ‘bad guy’ behaviour through the infallible law of Cause and Effect: Whatever we think about grows.
Lightworkers can, however, spiritually heal the cause of the irresponsible behaviour of those who are hurting the rain forest, and other perpetrators against nature. However, this may require some courage to trust that the solution – forgiveness – will work.
God has been speaking with those who are hurting the earth. These people know, in their hearts, that they are causing pain. This knowledge has crumbled their self-images, and they see themselves as unworthy of leading happier, more productive lives. Most of them fear that financial ruin would accompany their change of heart. The people who perpetuate criminal behaviour are on the verge of healing, and lightworkers’ collective mindset of love can provide the little push necessary to awaken their minds.
Lightworkers, you can heal thousands of social ills with your collective decision to forgive and to love these criminals. You needn't forgive their actions, just the person who created the action. This may involve you being willing to forgive some ‘bad guy’ from your own life. Many times, we project old unforgiveness onto new situations that remind us of past hurts.
See the criminals for who they truly are: holy and loving children of God. Visualize them ‘getting’ the insight that their pursuit of security and happiness has created pain for themselves and others. Image them having a revelation that brings them to their knees in awe over God's love. See them, in turn, using their knowledge for good by awakening and healing other criminals.
If you find such visualizations unnatural or difficult, then your spiritual healing efforts can involve you deliberately holding neutral thoughts about crime. In this way, you won't add fuel to the fire through harbouring angry or fearful thoughts about criminals. These sorts of thoughts are the landscape that created the frightening illusion of crime in the first place.
Ask for the angels to help you to find love in your heart for criminals. This love will help you to truly experience the wonder of knowing that we are all one in God.
Practising conscious consciousness
When I embarked upon the lightworker's way, my intuition urged me to avoid negative conversations, television shows, and reading material. My intuition didn’t have to ask me twice! I readily followed this guidance, as I was anxious to preserve the still-fragile joy of rediscovering my spiritual self.
As I talk with other lightworkers, I find that they too have received and are following this same inner guidance. Yet, some lightworkers’ healing activities will place them in ‘front-line’ positions, where interaction with the media is unavoidable. Other lightworkers, who have positions in the government or in traditional health-care settings, may find their attentions assaulted with graphic scenes and heated discussions.
Certainly, it is easier to keep one’s focus on the loving truth of the world by avoiding news accounts and discussions about ‘problems’. However, this may not always be practical or desirable. One lightworker says that she enjoys watching the evening news because then she knows where to direct her prayers. Her outlook is a wonderful model for those of us who wonder how to balance our desires to keep our minds pure while providing healing services to the world.
We can always ask the angels to help us release our fears and anger about worldly situations. Angels want to help us heal the world. However, except in cases of dire emergency, we must ask for their intervention due to the Law of Free Will. The angels gladly respond to our calls for help, as they know that they are simultaneously healing the world as they heal the hearts and minds of lightworkers.
Lightworkers’ time and energy is best used in healing functions. For that reason, arguments and debates about world problems are counterproductive to the lightworker’s way. Conflict stems from the ego and is based in seeing others and ourselves as separated beings. The time and energy spent in debate could be better used in a session of energy work, spiritual healing, or simple human gestures of kindness towards the earth.
In the same vein, our world healing involves guarding the words we use in our speech and thoughts. This includes avoiding discussions about ‘how awful’ this and that part of the world has become. There is always a way to kindly steer such conversations toward an outlook of hope and healing. I often ask Jesus or the Holy Spirit to help me choose my words, and I'm always amazed at how they instantly give me just the right phrase to say.
