In the last 24 hours my Cuban sister has been involved in intense spiritual healing of an unfortunate, by all accounts a well loved lady in Iran. Me and another mutual friend M, were the conduits for this ceremony.
My sister is a powerful healer and after hours of agonizing, I too began to feel a sense of healing of this lady in a far away country.
Even in my previous encounters I have noticed that genuine healers suffer in that successful healing is often followed by some form of a loss. I was not thinking of this while i was concentrating my energy that took my mind from USA to Cuba to Iran to India.
This morning as the cloud was clearing over the suffering of this young lady, I began to feel an intense pain in my chest which I knew is not of organic origin (I am after all a specialist physician, too). It was followed by a sense of anxiety followed by nostalgia of a loss. I was baffled as I had not experienced something like this for a long time. I was unable to clearly think and make any sort of connection.
When my sister in Cuba heals somebody she feels sensations in the organs which are giving the supplicant physical complaints. We were taking care of a young doctor with a strange stomach ailment, and all of a sudden my sister began feeling terrible stomach upset.
My feeling was uncomfortable and as the day passed I could not reach any conclusions. then the mutual friend M came on line and I was explaining about healing and how we felt that this young lady would have a miraculous healing.
Then suddenly it hit me and I found myself speechless. I know the price I have to pay for this success.. my friendship with M !
My sister always says that in situations, you must always light candles or incense and give light.
I drove out to get some candles as I had been lighting candles and giving light to the afflicted mutual friend of M.
You cannot be a good healer if you do not have an innocent/pure mind or shall we say a clean and hygienic mind. When you have such a mind, your thought processes become child-like and then you begin to express your emotions and feelings in the rawest form.
and you are almost always misunderstood by others, because they are thinking like adults in context and not having been transformed by healing ceremonies or posess a certain innocence, you are castigated or liberated in a condescending sense.
What is amazing is that the pain anxiety nostalgia i felt immensely predicted what was to happen just a few hours later. A separation from a friend with whom no longer a special relationship is possible .
I am a Jew and I know the meanings of the concepts of MITZVAH and in my case especially TIKKUN OLAM the healing of the world .. thus healing and social responsibility to others must continue ..
