The Power to Heal lies essentially in the will and the
interest and profitability that there is in continuing life’s journey. The
subtle art form that we call yoga has many techniques both practical and psychosomatic
that will help the body remain in being. The Hatha Yoga postures that help to
maintain body tone are well known and well documentated these when coupled with
mind and spirit are a powerful combination. There are many situations due to
pain, illness and trauma that can render the body immobile and this is when
with the help of mind and breath we can begin the journey back to health.
Breath and spirit are closely interwoven and when
agitated due to stress the emotional turbulence can play havoc with normal body
functions, hence the yoga directive “calm the breath, calm the emotions”. Once
calm rhythmic breathing is established we can attune ourselves to more positive
levels of healing energy. The Breath of Brahman is a cosmic form of breathing
that taps subtle levels of healing and energy. This next phase requires that we
become conscious of the breath without interference from the mind, at the same
time relaxing and extending the rhythmic flow of the breath throughout the
body. The yoga maxim “less breathing more prana more breathing less prana”
applies here, as the more subtle the breath the closer we become attuned to the
Absolute Sentient power that sustains all life.
This is where meditation can become mediation as
simply concentrating on the breath awakens us to the energy of the breath and
the possibility of absorbing a little more energy to help revitalise the body.
Love has the power to heal and not forgetting to love oneself, as life itself
is love at work. “The mantra Love is my True Nature” helps us to act in
accordance with the highest principles conducive to life itself.
History has produced many saints and
spiritual leaders with the power to heal, some, even after death and in
response to devotees prayers. Christ’s ministry on earth was highlighted by his
power to heal and raise the dead. Belief is an important aspect to spiritual
healing, and underlying negativity can cast clouds that obscure the healing
light.
Repetition of a holy name can change the dynamic of
how you feel even though we may not have a recorded image of that person.
Artists often take liberties when painting icons or images of saints. Therefore
with repetition of your mantra, look into your mind’s eye and refine your own
image and ‘let’ any healing and positive energy into your own life-field.
Life is love at work (EH) therefore the more loving
and true your daily life the more certain is the path that leads from this life
to the next. It is a path of light that is developmental as it stands the test
of time. Pain often says ‘no’ to unwise courses of action but when endured
releases karmic debt. Love (Bhakta Yoga) is the path of love and devotion and
when established, warms and heals not unlike sunlight that pierces a cloudy sky
and brings warmth and life to the earth.
