Healing From Within

by Ted Karam

What is the true source of healing? Of course there are many forms that healing takes. But is it possible that they all share a common source?

Ancient traditions to modern day science provide a wide assortment of healing modalities from plants, minerals, liquids, and chemicals, to surgical, mechanical, and energetic processes and procedures. And it is certainly true that diet, exercise, lifestyle and environment all play a major role in our state of health and well being. Yet too often, we overlook what perhaps is the most powerful ally we have for improving our health in body and mind. Spirit. Spirit is the one source and essence of all life. If you take the Spirit out of the body, what is left? Nothing. The body simply returns to the elements of the earth. Spirit is really all there is to you. And your Spirit, made in the image and likeness of the Divine, is always perfect, the source of all health, vitality, and well being.

As A Course In Miracles teaches, “There is nothing my holiness cannot do.” Your “holiness” is the spark of the divine in you, your spiritual essence, without which you would not be. It is the life-giving self-organizing light of your being. And when the energy of your Spirit flows unimpeded, without resistance, strength, health, and well being return all on their own.

Take a few minutes to sit down in a quiet place, close your eyes, and become still. Breathe deep into your belly and relax. Allow your full attention to be drawn into this moment here and now. Then, once you feel relaxed and at peace, silently affirm the following statements to yourself, allowing each to reverberate in your consciousness and remind you of the truth.

• I am the Perfection of Life expressing through this beautiful human form.
• My Spirit, the Light of my Being, is One with the Divine Source of all Life.
• Being Divine, my Inner Light is ever whole, perfect, vital, and well.
• By simply letting go, releasing all resistance, my Inner Light shines forth and reveals the Truth.
• I AM Whole, Perfect, Powerful, Loving, Joyful, Abundant, and Well.
• I feel the river of my Divine Energy flowing freely through me, revitalizing my body and mind, restoring peace, harmony and well being.
• I AM Grateful to feel so Good, to be renewed here and now in the Miracle of Life.

How does it feel to reconnect with the Spirit of your true Being? This is the true meaning of Communion.

Communion means to come-into-union with the Source of all Life. It is the atonement or finding at-one-ment with the Divine within you.

Is this not the essence of seek first the kingdom and all good will be added unto you?

Why?

Because when you come into union with the Kingdom of Good – the grace of the present moment here and now – you open up and allow the flow of Divine energy – that restores and renews you – bringing health, vitality, love, abundance, peace and well-being all on its own. Instead of struggling to make something good happen, you can let go and become the right condition that allows Good to flow to you.

As Charles Haanel, the creator of The Master Key System, said… “Disease and lack are mental conditions in which a person simply fails to perceive the truth. As soon as this error is removed, the condition is removed. The method for removing this error is to go into the Silence and know the Truth.”

Be Still and Know that I AM. Develop a practice of cultivating stillness throughout your day. Remain nonreactive, in the grace of the present moment. By doing so, you allow Divine Good to flow to, through, in, and as you. When you are unified with the Omnipresence of Good, you cannot keep Good from you.
