What’s the purpose of healing with chronic or terminal illness?

One of the things I am often asked is how can healing help when someone has a chronic/terminal illness. To me healing is about bringing body, mind and soul back into balance and in doing so this may reduce physical symptoms, will reconnect you with your true self, will help you to move into a more heart centred, heart led and less fearful way of being and ultimately will help to prepare you for your onward journey when that time comes.

True healing not only helps you to understand your true nature, but also to discover your true gifts and true purpose. As we move forward into a more heart centred way of being all of us need to understand and develop our innate gifts as they will help us on our journey forward on Earth and beyond.

In my experience each individual is different and the symptoms that they experience, which may be given the same diagnosis by the medical world, are created from different experiences in many lifetimes and then triggered by something in the current lifetime. No two people with the same symptoms need the same things clearing energetically because of this, and so their healing needs to be intuitive in order to meet their individual needs.

Many people believe that they are their diagnosis, for example a diabetic might say ‘I am diabetic” or someone with heart disease may say ‘I have heart disease’ . What they are doing is confirming that they believe that this is who they are to the universe and so the universe continues to send them that experience.

When you shift your mindset a little and realise that you are not the disease, you did not have the disease but rather that you are experiencing the symptoms of something, it shifts the energy of your beliefs about yourself, and so changes the energy and experiences that the universe will send you.

When we move inward and connect with our Soul we realise that we are pure love and pure light and that we are all equal and all having different experiences. These experiences help us to grow on many levels and may expedite change but we are not our experiences. Our experiences teach us about our true selves and what it is we need to heal to bring our body, mind and soul back into balance.

For those with chronic illness, the expectation is that the disease will progress and so symptoms are managed and yet with healing there comes a greater understanding of why that disease may have been triggered and what it is that needs to be addressed to bring body, mind and soul back into balance. When I am facilitating deep healing for myself or a client I am always looking for the root cause of the issues and symptoms being experienced so that the energy creating them can be cleared which then often leads to a reduction in symptoms and an improvement in the quality of health that the person experiences on a physical level. Energy healing will also help to reduce the stress and anxiety relating to the experiences and symptoms and takes the person on a deeper journey of self discovery.

For those with a terminal illness, healing may help them to come to a place of acceptance and to clear any fears around death and the process of dying. Any deep healing done prior to a person passing will be to prepare them for their onward journey so that when the time comes they are able to let go and move forward through their transition with peace and dignity. For those left behind deep healing will support them through the experience and help them to understand that as spiritual beings having a human experience there is no end, there is just a transition from one state of being to the next, i.e. from a physical state of being to a spiritual state of being.

True healing helps us to open our heart centre, and raise our vibration so leading to us becoming heart centred and heart led and seeing things from a higher perspective (i.e. from a place of love) and whether we have a physical illness or not we all need to be moving into that heart centre, heart led way of being.

Each of us is on our own journey of self-discovery and each journey is different so we cannot compare our journey to anyone else’s we can only look back to where we started on our healing journey of self-discovery and compare it with where we are now.

As we continue to move through the transition it is becoming more and more important that we turn inward and discover what we need to heal so that we continue to raise our vibration and help to bring the energies of pure love and pure light into our energy and into the planet.

Remembering who we truly are will take away a lot of the fear and limitations that we experience as we are so much more than the physical body that we have chosen for this part of our journey.

When we remember that we are spiritual beings having a human experience it becomes easier to love ourselves and so truly love others. The energetic changes taking place on the planet are to help us all to see and reconnect with our inner beauty and our inner wisdom. Everything we need to know for our journey is within us but first we must find the love within and accept that we are worthy of that love. As each of us does that it will shift the illusion of our outer world and help to bring in the energies of change and the new way of being.
