What Is A Healer?
by Wayne Dyer
In her marvelous book, The
Physician Within You, Gladys Taylor McGarey, MD, relates a conversation
with her son Carl, who had just finished his internship and was
specializing in orthopedic surgery. After he had told his mother of his
fears about having people’s lives in his hands, she related, “Carl, as a
surgeon you may pull an incision together and suture it well, but you
cannot make it heal. If you think you are the one who does the healing,
you have a right to be scared. But if you understand that you are a
channel through which healing moves and that you are contacting the
healing force within your patients, you have nothing to fear. You will
have awakened the physician within them and sent them on their way to
heal themselves.”
As you begin living your
life on the spiritual plane you will discover that both your body and
your mind become instruments of God when you are able to bring a kind of
consciousness to the sick or injured wherein you are, in effect,
bringing the potential for pardoning or releasing the disease itself.
Healing occurs when we approach our own healing power through faith in
our spiritual perfection and an abiding sense of unconditional love. The
healer is not performing the healing, but bringing pardon in the form of
unconditional love and the faster energy of spiritual consciousness to
bear on the injury, while turning the entire process over to God.
As you affirm your
spiritual perfection you actually set into motion the universal law. It
is through the surrendering of your doubts and fears, the laying aside
of your little ego and living the principle of existence, which is the
principle of thoughts becoming things. It was the thoughts or mental
conditions that created the illusion of illness as separate from the
divine and it will be your own thoughts of spiritual perfection that
will allow the healing force to work through you in your self, as well
as in others.
I am not speaking here of
the laying on of hands or the world of the occult, but merely the
awareness that a healer must be able to accept in his or her own mind
the spiritual perfection of mind and body as well as the spiritual
perfection of those injuries you look to pardon. In a word, it is love
that is the power that heals. Remember, the opposite of love is fear and
a belief in fear is a belief in the second power of disease. You are
always reminded that “Perfect love casteth out all fear,” and the root
of all disease and injury is fear; the fear of being separate from the
one power of God.
CAN YOU BE A HEALER?
Anyone can become a healer
who understands that he or she is merely a channel through which perfect
spiritual love can flow. When you are ill, you have disconnected from
the capacity to heal yourself. You have lost contact with your healing
source. Your healing abilities will be found by rejoining to the source.
As a healer, you stay in touch with the whole, never falling prey to the
superstition of separateness, which causes the illness to take hold in
the first place. When you touch the illness of another with the energy
of spirit or the source, you activate the connection and facilitate the
healing process. In that sense, yes, you are a healer, even though you
heal no one. You don’t even need to understand the mechanics of this
process. When you help another to become aware of the source from which
healing takes place, you not only facilitate healing but you act to help
others prevent future illness as well.
I am convinced that you
can indeed become an instrument of healing by raising your energy field
to the highest, most spiritual levels. God does not heal disease,
because disease is not accepted as a separate power. Rather, God is the
one power of harmony.
Be that power, live there
and you will yourself be bringing pardon to injury in your life and the
lives of those you encounter who live in the illusion of disease.
Believe in this one power. This is not a miracle but simply the way of
things. As Saint Thomas Aquinas put it, “Miracles are signs not to them
that believe, but to them that disbelieve.”
