Sacred Sound Healing
This past Sunday I had the honor of participating in A Sacred Sound Healing Ceremony presented by Twin Spirit Tribe and Spirit Dancer Crystals. It was an intense 3 hours filled with the sounds of drumming, rattling, chimes, chanting and a few other various sound makers all working together with God/Spirit to allow the essence of healing to come into the lives of all those both present and those held in our thoughts and prayers.
But as always happens with this type of work, it's only the beginning of the manifestation of these intentions. The healing and transformations that are the result, continue to unfold long after a ceremony is "complete". It has happened in my own personal life this week as well as others that I have to who participated.
When I think of "healing", certain images come into my mind and I am sure some of the same are familiar with you. The obvious and most common is probably a "miracle cure" of some form of disease or illness. The famous Sunday afternoon tent revival where people pass out, faint, speak in tongues and suddenly they get up out of wheelchairs, drop crutches and walk, can suddenly see after years of blindness, etc. I am not for a moment saying that these healings do not happen or can not happen. I have come to understand during this past week that healing encompasses WAY more that those obvious perceptions.
A "cure" is not the same as a "healing" although a cure CAN be a part of one. A cure means we no longer have signs or symptoms in our body, mind or spirit to inform us that we in fact have an illness or disease. It can be at the level of our physical body such as the multitudes of diseases listed in the medical guides, the level of our minds such as mental imbalance, addictions, eating disorders, etc. And it can be at the spiritual level - those problems and conflicts in our relationships with each other and with our self. The feelings of no purpose in our life, no meaning and the feeling and belief that this world is one @%$*!#- up place with no hope of betterment.
In Truth, ALL illness and dis-ease is rooted in the Spiritual level and needs to be addressed there if we wish to have a true "Healing" and not just a "Cure". For if we only seek a cure, and do not address the cause at the level of our Energetic Body, or Spirit, then it has the potential and strong probabilities that it will relapse or return. Addressing the energetic or spiritual level is what true healing is. It is not something that we turn over to someone else to do FOR us, it is something we take personal responsibility for, seek the wisdom to make the right choices and changes, and do it all in partnership with and by the Graces of Spirit/God/ Source/Christ,/Buddha/ Allah, or whatever you prefer to call that entity in your life.( I am a terrible speller and at least She/He/It is the only one who NEVER cares how I spell their name :-)
So you may be wondering exactly what kind of healing has come about from this event?? It's still unfolding and will continue to do so. To be absolutely honest, I STILL DO have the same back ache and tightness that had before the ceremony last Sunday. And I haven't YET been to my doctor since then to have a couple other health issues medically followed up on. But I do feel a HUGE internal shift in my awareness. I stop and contemplate why I feel like engaging in an act or behavior that I know is self destructive and not in my own best interest or in someone else's for that matter. Then I get my mind out of the way and just let my Spirit and Soul reconnect to it's Source/God. That in turns seems to have an effect on how I perceive others in my life: They/You are all connected and a part of me. Therefore do I REALLY want to think/speak/ act in ways that degrade, hurt, dis empower others or think of them as "less that" just because they act/ look/think different than me or you? I don't have the time and energy to waste it on unproductive things like that. Yes, it's true that God provides us unlimited resources and energy - but what good are unlimited resources if we just use them all up harboring thoughts and feelings of anger, revenge, fear, abandonment, pride, greed,entitlement, blame,jealousy and the like. Then it's the same as not having any energy at all because we use it up/give it away in the form of all these negative,destructive forms of thought. That leaves us with no energy to maintain or even heal our body, mind and spirit and then we are left with declining health or continue to have that illness.
And maybe, just maybe, some of these issues we think need to be healed and gotten rid of are here to help us learn something more important. Something that we wouldn't take the time to notice or comprehend otherwise. Maybe that's when it's time to "go inside our heart" and reflect on a situation. We tend to want to "fight off" this cancer, "destroy" this germ, "eradicate" this tumor, "dismiss" this or that thought, I wonder what might happen if we considered the possibility of "surrendering " to it and considering if there could be some sort of redeeming quality in the perceived illness or disease. Think of it as a messenger with some vital information for us. Then if there is, what if took note of that and put it into action in our life. Then what if that action, (no matter if it is physical action or a change in how we just think, what we value, how we relate to others, or how we give of ourselves to others) made such a change in our life that we now had completed and learned that particular lesson. Now we are once again in that state of harmony,balance and ease and therefore not compatible with the vibration/ energy frequency of that unhealthy state. No compatibly= no room for maintaining dis-ease and the condition ceases to exist, or if should continue to existence it no longer has the same negative effect and consequences in your life. You have transmuted it into something life-affirming and positive -- You have had a "Healing".Now you may hold the wisdom to offer healing to others who are ready to take responsibility for and accept it.
I have a huge amount of gratitude for the insight,understanding and healing that has been graced with! Thank you to all who participated in this beautiful ceremony.
Love,Light and Peace
