Spiritual Healing

Spirituality involves the recognition and acceptance of a God beyond our own intelligence and with whom we can have a relationship. This God can provide an experience of inspiration, joy, security, peace of mind, and guidance that goes beyond what is possible in the absence of the conviction that such a power exists. This way spiritual healing can occur.

The word "spiritual" refers to the divine nature of the energy, which healers agree comes from one external, invisible intelligent source. The healing energy from this source is available to all.

The channelling of healing energy from its spiritual source to someone who needs it is called spiritual healing. The channel is usually a person, whom we call a healer, and the healing energy is usually transferred to the patient through the healer's hands. The healing does not come from the healer, but through him. On the other hand, you don’t need a healer to take advantage of spiritual healing. You can also pray yourself for healing and so channelling healing energy directly from the source to yourself.

The treatment works on the body, mind and spirit, which are seen as one unit that must harmonize for good health. If a separate healer is involved, the healer will place the hand on the person being treated to channel the energy from the Higher Source. The spiritual healing can help mental and emotional problems and physical conditions such as a frozen shoulder.

Healers see the body mind and spirit as one interdependent unit and believe all three must work in harmony to maintain positive health. Any problem - be it a broken leg or depression needs the power of healing to restore the balance of the whole person. It is felt that sickness often starts in the mind, or at the deeper level of the spirit, and it is often here that healing begins.

People who have experienced the divine in their personal life and have sung bhajans for example in full emotion and freedom have experienced every emotion getting fully experienced under the fire of their passion. And one would find them moving into bliss, as experiencing any hidden emotion within, completely releases that emotion. The result is the actual healing of the mind and the body.

A complete healing of mind and body can occur, when you deal with the disease and not just the symptoms of the disease. Dealing with the disease means, experiencing the emotion completely, whereby it converts into bliss, leading to a very sound mental and physical health. With the help of this experience, one can  lead a happy and a satisfied life.

Not all spiritual Gifts are presents!

Or not everybody experiences a spiritual gift as such. Sometimes it can also be a burden. As every spiritual gift comes with a lot of responsibility we often have to grow into the challenge. But keep in mind that God would never give us anything we can't handle. We just have to trust in God and ask for help.

The movie "The Sixth Sense" with Bruce Willis shows a classic example of a Gift that was perceived as a burden. I highly recommend all parents to watch this movie as most children are able to see into the other worlds and it is better to be supportive of this 'gift' than to try to tell them that 'ghost' don't exist.

Children who are brought up with a sense of the other world often develop into healers and seers.

Spiritual Art, Music and Dance

play an important role in all traditions and cultures. The expressions are different but the goal is usually to stimulate the connectedness, communion and spiritual experience of a group or an individual. Spiritual Music and Dance communicates directly to the Soul and affect us on a subtle and often unconscious level. There is a saying that "one image is more than thousand words” and that is also the case for music and dance.

The mind and body are connected. The human mind is not housed in the brain as per the conventional thought but rather; the mind is present everywhere and therefore pervades every cell of the body. What is the human mind? Mind is an aggregate of all life experiences be it pain, pleasure, hurt, anger, joy or anxiety; it could be anything.

Any positive emotion causes a cell to vibrate at a higher frequency and negative vibrations cause the cells to vibrate at lower frequency. The negative emotion is nothing but an incompletely experienced emotion. These emotions when stored in the cells of the body are the diseases. We have read the experiences of saints and sages where they recount how every cell of their bodies are filled with the emotions of love and gratitude whenever they had praised the Supreme Light. And these emotions which ultimately are nothing but the energies at different levels of vibrations would vibrate in much higher frequency, allowing them to enter into a profound state of bliss and oneness with the Supreme Consciousness.

From the ancient times, music is something that has put people, in touch with their inner most feelings. Different kind of music works upon different emotions of an individual, and releases the various incomplete emotions leading towards a total healing of body and mind. Like with the Gift from the Gods CD  you can be transported into different worlds every time you listen to it, like a movie that will play in front of your eyes letting you re-experiencing different emotions and bringing you in touch with the source.

Participants experience various states of repentance, prayer, silence, love, compassion, brotherhood and oneness during the course of listening to spiritual music.  The divine communion can liberate us from all our suffering and transport us into heights of rapture. Even the greatest of teachings make their way into the hearts of the devotees when taught through the medium of spiritual music. Forgiveness and love are natural happenings while listening to spiritual music. Depending on the type of music people dance and sing in joyful abandon, and pain becomes a thing of the past as they are filled with divine love.
