Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

 Self-healing visualisation I would like to convey a proper appreciation of spiritual healing, but this is best experienced rather than described; so I thought I’d start by talking us through a self-healing visualisation to give a flavour of healing and to raise our energies before we start. [See appendix for the visualisation script]. We often give this transcript out to people who come for healing to practice on their own, as a self-care tool – since it is good practice to encourage people to help themselves, as appropriate. My introduction to healing I thought you might be interested to hear how I came into healing from being a complete sceptic. About 15 years ago, my uncle (a mild-mannered businessman) announced at Christmas that he was training to be a healer. We were all very surprised. He told me about his experiences of how well healing had helped people and although I considered that this was almost certainly biased reporting, I was sufficiently interested to want to try to find out more. My uncle gave me the phone number of a healing tutor in Leeds where I lived, and I telephoned her. She told me about a healing introductory course which she was running, but I interrupted her to say that I was not interested in being a healer, I just wanted to find out more about it. She said that to do this introductory course was probably the best way and it was to start in three months time; however, in the meantime I could practice by sending healing, loving energy through me to plants, pets or my children. So this is how I found myself holding out my hands in front of a cactus plant in the kitchen, feeling ridiculous, thinking, ‘I can’t believe I am doing this!’ Anyway, I forgot about healing until about two weeks before the course was due to start. I was lying in bed with a cold, wheezing, at about 3am, thinking 1 that I was going to have to get up out of bed for the third night running to get my inhaler. I was feeling so tired that I could not be bothered and so I thought, ‘I’ll give this healing lark a go!’ (My exact thoughts – I was not exactly convinced, just feeling exhausted and ill). I wasn’t really sure what to do, so I just raised my hands over my chest, as I lay in bed and asked for healing. What happened next surprised me: My fingers started to tingle; I saw a blue light in my mind’s eye and felt a band of heat around my chest. My wheezing stopped immediately. As you can imagine, I felt rather scared by what had happened and in the morning, told my husband that he would never guess what had occurred in the night. However, when I attended the healing course, instead of sitting at the back, rolling my eyes to the ceiling, questioning everything, I listened, because I knew there was something in it and I wanted to find out more.
