PRAYER & LONG DISTANCE HEALING - Part 1
Last week, the latest research about prayer was touted in every major network and media outlet.
Once again, it's yet another example of "no matter what you think, there you are" ... getting to be right about whatever view you are going to decide to subscribe to:
Study Shrugs Off Prayer's Power to Heal
Prayers Don't Help Heart Surgery Patients; Some Fare Worse When Prayed For
Question ... was your faith tested when you read this?
If you didn't hear or read about it you can catch up on it by reading USA Today's Article at: https://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-03-30-prayer-study_x.htm
Researchers in this study focused on a type of prayer whose outcome they believed could be measured: praying that surgical patients would recover quickly with no complications.
They showed the prayer that was used on a TV report, but I wasn't quick enough to get it written down. I've tried Googling it but have not been able to find it.
However, I made a mental note that the prayer ended with the words, "and no complications."
They specifically prayed for "no complications."
Based on what we are learning about the vibrational power of thought, we understand that this is like praying "for complications." Why? Because prayer is affirmative no matter how negative the prayer is! Whatever you hold your attention on is what you are "including" in an experience.
When you see the phrase "no complications" where does your focus of attention go?
You see complications!
What happens mentally and physiologically to you when someone says, "What ever you do, don't look at the lemon."
In my Stay Married Online Course I have specifically talked about this subject of Healing at a Distance and included research from the Southern Medical Journal 81:7 (1988), pp.826-829 as referenced in Meaning & Medicine by Larry Dossey, M.D.

Session 7: Attitudinal Lobotomy!
Let's look at what research indicates is not only within the realm of what's truly possible but is within the guidelines of honoring one's own will and experience for growth.
Psychologists and author Lawrence LeShan studied psychic healing for many years. He interviewed and observed some of the most skillful healers on several continents. He concluded from this research that, although patients were occasionally healed while interacting with psychic healers, "There is no such thing as psychic healing. There is only self-healing, which can sometimes be potentiated by the action of the healer."
When we are sick - sick in how we mentally perceive and experience the world, sick in body, sick in finances, sick in relationships, sick in spirit - we are in a weakened condition, unable to use our self-healing abilities to their fullest.
The specialized interaction of long distance healing changes this, the person being healed joins in, nourishes a part of himself that is undernourished, and is, for a time, more complete and better able to use his own self-healing abilities.
Following LeShan, we can say that energetic healing occurs anytime someone's self-healing capacity is potentiated by another. It is likely that most of us function as energetic healers from time to time without realizing it. And most of us receive energetic healing periodically, also without knowing it.
It is becoming clear that almost anyone can liberate and potentiate the superintelligence or inner healing capacity of someone in need. This means that we all have within us the capacity to assist someone in need or affect a different outcome to a debilitating experience. Again, I demonstrated this with the muscle testing and sugar experiment in Session 1: The Physics of Love which shows that unconditional LOVE energy transforms, in an instant.
Dr. Randolph Byrd, a cardiologist and faculty member of the University of California Medical School at San Francisco, studied about four hundred patients who were admitted to the coronary care unit of San Francisco General Hospital. Most of the patients were suspected of having had or actually had a heart attack. They were divided roughly into two groups. Neither group was sicker than the other. There were no statistical differences in the severity of illness between the two groups. Both received state-of-the art medical care.
However, one group was prayed for as well. Their first names and brief sketches of their condition were given to various Protestant and Catholic prayer groups throughout the United States, who were asked to pray for them. This was a double-blind study, meaning that none of the nurses, physicians, or patients knew who was and was not being prayed for. This meant that preferential care could not unconsciously be given by the health care professionals to one group. Nor could the prayed-for group "try harder" to get well, knowing they were being prayed for.
When this meticulous study was over, the prayed-for group appeared to have been given some "miracle-drug." They did better clinically in several ways:
1. They were far less likely to develop congestive heart failure, a condition in which the lungs fill with fluid as a consequence of the failure of the heart to pump properly (eight compared to twenty patients).
2. They were five times less likely to require antibiotics (three compared to sixteen patients), and three times less likely to need diuretics (five compared to fifteen patients).
3. None of the prayed -for group required endotracheal intubation, in which an artificial "breathing tube" is inserted in the throat and attached to a mechanical ventilator, while twelve of the other group required mechanical ventilator support.
4. Fewer of the prayed-for group developed pneumonia (three compared to thirteen).
5. Fewer of those prayed for experienced cardiopulmonary arrest requiring resuscitation (CPS; three compared to fourteen).
6. None of the prayed-for group died, compared to three deaths among those not prayed for (this difference was not statistically significant).
A striking aspect of this study is that it violates one of the most hallowed assumptions of modern medicine: that the therapist, physician, or healer must be on site. This experiment also challenges the equally engrained belief that, when the mind plays a role in recovery, it is necessarily the mind of the patient. It has been assumed that one's thoughts may affect one's own body, as a multitude of data show, but not the body of someone else. Yet another striking feature of the study is that the effects of prayer did not depend on the awareness of the recipient, since no one knew who was receiving prayer.
We all have the capacity to connect with source energy at any given moment in time.
This is specifically what I want to address. You can MasterMind for the healing of people and the situations in every area of your life and theirs. This must be undertaken with authority, grace, humility and resolve. Understand, what we are about to do is not about forcing our will upon another, we've been doing that as it is with our fear, resistance and judgment. This is actually about not doing that anymore, and when you see the language of the requests, you will begin to understand that it is all about aligning, not dividing or imposing, inserting ourselves into another's healing experience without being asked.
How many lives could be touched and lifted into their natural healing state, if only more people knew that in dealing with illness, one does not need to apply reason! The sick mind, the sick person does not respond to reason. Reasoning with someone who is ill, by telling them that they are just being powerless or psychosomatic places an extra burden upon that part of the body / mind that is already unable to carry the burden.
Assisting in healing someone who is suffering from any addiction, or disability - long term or short term - is not about forcing "your" beliefs or "your" way of doing things down their throats. In MasterMinding, this is exactly what you will no longer be doing. What we are going for is the unconditional nourishment of the person being healed, so that they are able to access and utilize their own self-healing capabilities.
Many years ago, I took Reike Training, which meant that I was taught how to be a conduit for healing energy to come through my hands, as well as sending distant healing. Reiki was designed to access the source of all healing energies in order to facilitate emotional/mental and spiritual restoration. Reiki increases the body's natural ability to heal itself and is effective when used in conjunction with any other means of medical treatment. Reiki helps to relieve stress, agitation, and acute chronic pain. It is helpful as an aid for sleeping and also as an energizer. It promotes the release of emotions such as grief, anger, or anxiety and provides comfort in stressful situations.
We can all relate to the feelings of low energy and depletion that occurs when we are recovering from illness, anxiety, or grief. We tend to look for ways to replenish our energy level by resting and eating right. But sometimes this does not seem to be enough. A Reiki session can be used to reduce the amount of time it would normally take to replenish this kind of imbalance. From the state of deep relaxation and restored balance experienced in a Reiki session, we are given the opportunity to support our body's natural ability to heal itself.
What I learned specifically about the ability to send healing energy to people, either through my hands or through specific thoughts and intentions, is that it is not my responsibility to figure out what will heal them. I am merely a conduit for the healing energy which comes in the form of love, peace and joy. I don't have to know how or understand exactly what's going on or what's needed in order to send healing.
When you feel guided to MasterMind for someone without their knowledge but have a concern about whether or not you should, there is a very wise old proverb:
When in doubt, don't.
It is not your duty to help everyone. Whether it be a MasterMind request or prayer, some will be helped and some will not, for reasons beyond our understanding.
Because I found this newest research and the way the media is handling it interesting from an observer's position, and because I've got more I want to say about my observations, my blog is in two parts.
So stay tuned for next week's blog:
