Today's Knowledge and Education in Preventative Medicine
HEALING BY THE MOON
There are many different ways to give and receive healing. A laugh, a hug, even a pat on the back or soothing tone can provide healing to someone in need. In today's environment of high medical bills, expensive prescriptions and invasive procedures, many people are looking to 'alternative medicines'. But you might take note at just how many of these 'new alternatives' are actually ancient healing methods or simple 'home remedies' your grand mother used to provide. No matter what you chose to believe, nothing should take the place of a visit to your doctor when problems arise. Holistic healing methods are designed to assist in treating the 'whole' person and not just the physical ailment most medical treatments deal with.
Those who carry Raven Medicine also carry a heavy responsibility to Spirit. Raven is the messenger of magic from the great void where all knowledge waits for us. He is also the symbol of changes in consciousness, of levels of awareness and of perception. He carries the mark of the shape-shifter. He is the carrier of healing energy from distances. Those of you who have asked for messages of light and healing and prayer on this list have asked for raven medicine. What all of this means to us in the modern-day world is that raven medicine gives you the ability to get inside another's head and heart, and to understand them from the inside out, so to speak. You can "become" that other person because of the depth of your understanding of them, and it is not necessary to be in their physical presence for that to happen. Spiritual healers and counselors who are skilled in their abilities are using raven power for they have a depth of understanding and empathy not shared by all. Because of this power, they have the ability to actually alter another's perception and behavior. They are able to work real magic in bringing peace, healing and understanding to others. Here is the heavy responsibility, and the dangers, in raven medicine. As with all things, these powers can be used for dark purposes. It enables the carrier to manipulate and coerce others into doing their will to the detriment of the other. This medicine can be used for selfish and self-serving purposes for the ego and greed of the carrier. Because of the power of the levels in understanding others, a practitioner of the black arts can use raven for destructive purposes. If you carry raven medicine, you must always use it in the light for the highest and best interests of others. You must use it for the good and well being of others and never for your own selfish motives even though you may be tempted when times are bad. Raven medicine demands that you walk in the light in all things. That's heavy with responsibility for your own thoughts and deeds.
Work your magic in the light -- you are Raven.
HEALING...??
The most common ~ understanding~ of healing is to have discomfort....diminish so it does not... Interfere with...... day to day living. This leads us to think that healing is just about the physical body and conclude that if our bodies are giving us less trouble we might think of ourselves as healed.
How many of us have had friends or acquaintances that although they may be physically fit but they are unhappy, frustrated, and many times even feel helpless about an event ... or situation....or relationship. Sometimes they even collapse with heart attacks or unexpected illnesses.
Consider then......healing is about more........than just .......relieving symptoms...... in the....physical.....body....Looking at the picture to the right ....allow your imagination to open to the possibility….that the moon shows your emotions ... and it is impacting and touching the other 3 parts of you.... your soul (spirit - light blue center star).....and becomes solidified in your mind (1 solid dark blue star) your body (2nd dark blue star). It is easy to see how we continue to go ... round and round ... isn't it??
EMOTIONS
Emotions - EXPRESSED OR DENIED OR WITHHELD
When emotions or feelings come we get the idea that the feelings will interfere with what our mind says we need to do in that moment or we use the feeling to say or do what we lack the courage to do kindly or we suppress the feeling completely and ignore it.
Each of these will stop the ability to understand what the feelings and emotions offer.
WHAT FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS OFFER is: one thing only
.. C L U E S...
TO WHAT WE ARE T H I N K I N G!!!!!
Once you know what you are thinking and you discover it is not fair or nurturing or someone elses thought and not yours and is not in agreement with what you think...
Y O U C A N C H A N G E I T!! !
THOUGHTS
Thoughts seem to run rampant though your mind, IT IS ONLY IDEAS INITIALLY YOU HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT WHAT THOUGHT YOU MAKE SOLID.
SOUL (SPIRIT - THE DIVINE ESSENCE OF YOU
Soul - the living forever part of each of us that speaks to us all day BUT... very softly, very kindly, very gently... the Goddess/God force part of us we were born with THIS PART OF US ONLY COMES WHEN WE INVITE IT TO HELP US IN MOMENT TO MOMENT EXPERIENCES.
WHAT COMES FIRST???
Where do we begin to create heath, happiness and healing?
BY IDENTIFYING THE BELIEF OR THOUGHT that brings the upset and USING OUR POWER OF CHOICE ... right then.....to replace that thought with one THAT IS FAIR AND IN ALIGNMENT WITH the unconditional loving and accepting part of us.
So...Healing begins when we feel a feeling, identify the thought that brought the upset.... and REPLACE THE THOUGHT IMMEDIATELY.
These upsets, challenges and frustrations keep our energy very low.
