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!
