You Don't Need Religion to Know Jesus & God

I wish people wouldn't associate God (or whatever you want to call him/her) and Jesus with religion because you do not need religion to become closer to and get to know them and reap the benefits of their healing powers. I wish more people would realize that your spirit and the spiritual realm of the universe is not necessarily attached to religion. Religions happen to be one avenue to become closer to and get to know your spirit and the spirit of God and Jesus, but they are certainly not the only avenue - and I would argue not even the best avenue. Because many religions have become corrupt and ego-based (the opposite of spirit), religion turns a lot of people off and this association prevents these people from tapping into very powerful, healing spirit guides as well as tapping into their own spirits (because God is in all of us - he/she is a part of our spirit).

I am not dissing religion because I know that for a lot of people, it is the best avenue to know God, Jesus, and our own spirits, but I want to make people aware that it is not the only avenue and not the best avenue for everyone. We should be equipped with many tools to tap into their healing power, and religion is just one tool. It is not a one-size-fits-all tool and doesn't work for everyone in every situation. I should know - it didn't work for me, and I want to help others who are like me, benefit from their healing power.

My mind is very analytical and scientific and I best understand God and Jesus' spirits from the standpoint of energy and quantum physics. I have learned to get in touch with their spirits and energy by learning how to get in touch with my own spirit. (I've been able to do this by reading everything I can get my hands on, listening to hayhouse radio, listening to speakers like Wayne Dyer, attending workshops, and MEDITATING... see many of my previous blogs about how important meditating is).

From what I understand, Jesus was a man who lived on this earth. He was the most powerful healer ever known, and is still, to this day, the most powerful healer who lived on the face of earth. I learned this from history books and not from anything/anyone in the religion sector. Deborah King (a leader in energy medicine) says he was such a powerful healer because he was able to open his heart chakra 360 degrees. Apparently this is very difficult to do. The heart has very strong energy.

I have been trying to focus on living from the heart: meaning literally being IN my heart chakra (I can tell you how to do this if you email me) and thinking from my heart (vs. ego) as well as feeling and sending love. When you do this, your perception of everyone and every situation changes and you're able to get through rough patches that life throws at all of us and get out of funks easily. Jesus is a very powerful spirit for helping with love and I ask for his assistance daily with this.

Ever since I moved to Nashville and have been focusing on spiritual development, I have been able to recognize and get out of funks as well as make it through rough patches unscathed. Dave, my husband, notices this too and tells me "if it were 4 years ago, you would have been upset and not functional for weeks about this incident that you just got over in a day". I also notice that by living from the heart, I am able to deal with difficult people much better and have much better relationships with everyone in general. I actually don't just "deal" with difficult people, it turns into a positive experience and positive relationship. See one of my past blog posts about my experience sending love to difficult people - it actually turns them and the situation completely around and they become pleasant, sometimes even loving people - imagine that, you send love to someone and treat people with love and they respond to you better (and some even respond with love) - what a concept!

Do You Wish Your Body Could Talk?

Do you wish your body could talk? Well, it can.

This should be something almost everyone experienced - your body giving you signs or signals that something isn't quite right. Those people who are more in tune with their bodies can sense when something isn't quite right before it has developed into a full-blown illness or disease. I see this as the basic form of your body talking to you. I also understand that the actual cells of your body can talk to you. I first learned this reading Dr. Mona Lisa's book, Awakening Intuition and have experienced it myself. The cells of your body also have a memory. That's why you can store a bad memory from long ago and when it surfaces many years later, you feel the emotions just as if the incident just happened. (Read any psychology book to learn more about this.)

Most people think bad memories that are repressed contribute to poor mental health only. Au contraire. They greatly affect physical health. In fact, people frequently don't experience any mental health issues from repressed bad memories and emotions but instead experience physical health issues.

Negative emotions being stored (or as I like to call it repressed) in your body have been proven to cause cellular damage over time. Dr. Mona Lisa is just one of hundreds of people who study energy medicine (and many other fields are now recognizing this) and they know that diseases, like cancer, are caused by certain negative emotions being repressed for a long time in certain parts of the body (different emotions all have a different place in the body that they're stored). These stored negative emotions, over time, cause damage to the cells in which they're stored. There are story after story of examples of this happening in Dr. Lisa's book as well as Deborah King's book, Truth Heals, and I know of a handful of others that I have yet to pick up but have heard about. Deborah, herself, developed cancer in her 20s and was completely cured by energy healing (which helped her negative emotions surface and release - this is what energy medicine, including reiki does for you).

Does this make you want to pay better attention to your body? Does it make you want to resolve or recognize and release old, negative, stored emotions?

When I first learned about this it did for me. That's one of the reasons I got into reiki - to help release old baggage and heal my physical and mental self.

If anyone has a story of healing that you'd like to share, I'd love to hear it!
