I've been working diligently on building my energy healing and nutritional counseling business. However, it wasn't until just this last weekend that I finally understood how healing really works. Until now, I've been focusing on the technical aspects of health and wellness, like learning which foods, herbs and supplements are good for helping which diseases and various other processes that can help one achieve overall wellness.
It finally occurred to me after dealing with my own nagging health problem and meeting a very intuitive healer via a series of divinely orchestrated events, that all of those aspects are helpful, but it really comes down to one basic thing. Allowing the Universe, All-That-Is, God, or Source Energy (fill in your preferred term here) to lead you to a solution. It's all about listening quietly to the little clues that are being constantly given to you. Once you find yourself in a receptive state, things just begin happening and people and events line up that combine to solve any problem, big or small. Luckily, I only had a minor problem to deal with in order to learn this lesson.
I did notice that people kept asking me whether or not I meditate. I would always give them the same answer about how I live my life in a meditative state which was designed let me off the hook for having to sit down and have a real structured practice. Well, after people were asking me this on what became a daily basis, I decided to take heed and sit my butt down to meditate.
This one meditation session later appeared to have set in motion a whole series of fortunate events. I didn't see it connect at first, but now it's clear to me that the meditation must have played a significant role in allowing the flow. A friend of mine, one of the ones who asked if I meditate, made mention of the idea of "releasing" that same night. When I went to sit down and meditate, I decided to put on a guided meditation tape I have, just to make the whole process a little easier to get back into. Guess what the meditation that randomly played was focused on? You got it- Releasing! It was one where you breathe in positive and send out the negative. This stuff really works!
I'm excited to see what else I can invite into my experience by continuing my meditation practice. In fact, I'm motivated to go and do it right now. =)

Trusting What Is
It seems that most of the situations we humans have trouble with are all of the ones in which we lack faith. We forget that the Universe knows exactly what it is doing, and is always arranging things for our ultimate best interest. Whether the issue is financial trouble, romantic trouble, family trouble or otherwise, it all comes down to the same lesson. We are so limited in our thinking, and from our perspective, it appears that everything is not ok.
When one takes a step back, however, catching a glimpse of life from the outsider's perspective, we realize that it doesn't matter which path we take. We will always end up where we are supposed to go. There are no wrong decisions.
Other people might try to convince you that what you are choosing is not right. Here is where we have to determine whether they are mirroring an aspect of ourselves which may not be fully confident in the decision being made. Many times, however, it is simply their ego trying to make sure you don't do something that they don't like.
In moments such as these, one must get quiet and look within. Ask the Universe, your guardian angels, spirit guides, your Higher Self, or God what the best option for you might be. Make sure you allow enough peace and silence in your day to be open to receive your answer. Then, as they say, "Let go and let God."
Trust that everything is always unfolding exactly as it ought to. If you have no doubt that you are safe, and things always work out for the highest good of all involved, there is no room for fear. The Universe can orchestrate things so much more magnificently than we ever could. It only makes sense to release the perceived control and allow the Universe to do its job. It may take time to develop this sense of trust, but once it is there, it never goes away. Life becomes so much more joyful when you realize that it's not your job to worry about how everything should happen.
When something unwanted happens, just take a nice deep breath and reassure yourself that you are loved and protected at all times. Lean back and witness with a sense of awe how it all unfolds, knowing that everything is always ok.
