Self-Healing

There are a good many things out there that can wreak havoc on our bodies. Stress and lack of sleep. Unhealthy food. Pollution. Medications and vaccines. We have a tendency to rely on outside help to heal us when we get sick (like doctors). The thing is, there is only so much a doctor can do. True healing requires active participation. True healing requires the self.

Lately, I have come into contact with a chest cold. Under normal conditions, colds do not effect me much. However, because of the holidays I am working more hours at my retail job. On top of that, I am still trying to get the usual holiday prep work done. It is difficult for me to get regular sleep. As I feel the cold symptoms coming on, I am asking my heart and my body for guidance.

I definitely feel the need to take more Vitamin C. In fact, when I get colds like this I tend to mega-dose it. My mom used to give it to me when I was young and it always seemed to help. As I've gotten older and have done the research I now know why. Vitamin C has been proven to reduce stress in the body, but it also works extremely well on colds. Anything that has to do with sinus or chest congestion can be helped with Vitamin C. The fact that it is water soluble means you cannot overdose it. You body will get rid of excess naturally. (Note this is not meant to be medical advice. It is simply something I do to help myself. It is important to do your own research and ask for medical help if and when you need it.)

There are times when I ask and thoughts come to take other herbs as well. I won't go into detail here. Suffice it to say, I research--especially when I come across a new idea through either my heart or divine "coincidences". Asking is extremely important because it opens you to new paths of knowledge and understanding.

The last thing I do is ask for divine help and protection. I ask my own angels to guard and protect me from other things that could weaken my immune system. I picture protective shielding around myself and I actively call on the Universe to bring healing energy to my body. We are all able to call on archangel Raphael as well, who is in charge of healing.

Understand that any healing that takes place in your own body is there because you have willed it. Illness does not have to defeat you unless you are ready to let go of this lifetime. Listen to your body and your heart and they will help you do all those things you need to do to heal yourself!

Calling On Help Unseen

When I was fourteen, I talked to Jesus daily. I told him what I was feeling. I thanked him for what I had. I asked him for help with things I was trying to accomplish. My inner monologue was usually scattered throughout the day as thoughts came up. I couldn't see him or hear him, but I felt his presence with me.

I walked home from school every day as my parents both worked and were not available to pick me up. I didn't mind. It usually gave me some quiet time to think.

I remember walking home from school one fall afternoon. It wasn't particularly cold yet. The sky overhead was blanketed in clouds, although they were not so heavy as to be dark. Pretty typical for Ohio, where I lived.

As I came up a road about two blocks from my house, I noticed a car drive past me. I wasn't paying particular attention to the car until I heard it stop slightly past me. Slowly, it pulled back to where I was. Odd.

Then I looked at the car. There were two skanky looking men that appeared to be in their mid twenties. The one driving had dark unkempt hair with a scraggly beard. The one in the passenger seat closest to me was blonde but had the same unkempt hair and beard. What really scared me though were the expressions in their eyes. I had never seen evil that intense and close up (nor have I seen it since). I knew they were planning to grab me, rape me and probably kill me. It was written in those soulless expressions.

I didn't have time to think, but I did what came naturally. I just said a quick prayer, "Jesus, save me!!!"

In that moment, the looks of evil in the eyes of those men changed. Instead of looking dangerous and powerful, their expressions became filled with terror. The man driving the car stepped on the gas so hard the tires squealed as they sped off.

My first thought was, "There must be a cop car coming down the road," but no cop car was there. Nor was any other car there. No car was coming down the street, parked on the street or even sitting in a driveway. And there were no people either--not even people looking out the windows of any of the houses lining the street. I stood there for several minutes looking for the presence of any other person. I was the only one there.

As that realization sunk in, I knew something powerful had happened. There was no way those guys had been scared off by me. My only guess was that they had somehow been allowed to see the angels who were protecting me and it frightened them so badly they peeled out as fast as they could. The important thing was, I had taken the time to ask for help. I believe I received it.

We all face problems. Sometimes these problems seem so big and dangerous we have no idea how we are going to overcome them. Understand we do have the power to handle these situations. We have the power of the One. To access this power, all we need to do is ask.

There is always unseen help to be given. Call upon it, and the powers of the heavens will make themselves available to you.
