Greetings All, I'm writing this tonite because I have heard the comment, "I can't do healing......" many times from many people.

I'm writing this tonite because that is not a true comment, nope, not calling you a fibber *smile* Simply saying that we all have the ability in varying degrees.

Some are extremely gifted and can send healing to specific areas of the body to those in need, seemingly with ease and no training. "...just something I do...."

Some are experienced in healing, such as those who know reike. They've taken classes, and the art is not an extremely easy one to learn. There are various degrees and types of reike. I have a friend who can lay her hands on my back or area of pain and her tiny hands feel like big heaters, within 3-5 minutes the pain is either gone or tolerable.

Some are born with the talent, but only know how to 'flood', which means they surround the persons body, head to foot with the healing energy. Then the 'higher self' sends it to where it is needed, or this is *my* thoughts on 'flooding'...

The point is: we can all "do" healing. I do not care what your religion is. I do not care what your level of 'book learning' or education is. I do not care if you have been saying, "I can't..." for a day or for years.....you can. Believe me, you can.

There's more than one way to send aid or help with healing, sending healing light.

You can:

think of the person and their needs, as you think of them, think of them with love and think of them as feeling better. Sound to simple? Maybe it is simple, but it works.

light a candle while you think of the person(s) and think of the candle burning away the illness.

say a prayer and ask that the person feel better or be helped

ask your spirit guides, even if you have not met them, to aid you in helping the person to feel better, to heal

meditate on the person, seeing them as healing/well

rub your hands together until they are warm and tingly and then hold them out and 'feel' or 'see' the healing leaving your hands and going out to the person

close your eyes and concentrate on the person and their feeling better

surround the person with white light or green, if you have good focus and concentration

If you are physically close to the person, never underestimate the power of touch. The power of words. The power of reaching out. The power of love. Tell the person that you love them and that you want them to feel better, be well. Hug the person, reach out and help them in whatever way you can or if they have a need you can fulfill physically, do it. Ask them if there is anything they need. A simple hand massage will work wonders, even. Both hand and scalp massages are wonderful therapy, and just about everyone can do those two things.

If you are not physically close to the person(s) in need, do not underestimate the power of love, words and reaching out. Tell the person, just as you would if you were physically close to them, that you wish they were well/felt better, that you love them dearly, that if you could you would hug them tight.

Even if you have never tried to heal, you can, if there is love in your heart, you can heal.

I have a request for each person that reads this, if you please? If you are not a physical, huggy type person, nothing wrong with that....squeeze one person's shoulder, or touch one person's hand, hug one person, whatever you feel comfortable with, and tell that person that you love them. Feel the warmth of the touch, feel the love flowing between the two of you. You have friends you care about online? Tell them you love them. If there is more than one person you can do this with, great! I ask you to do this for 7 days straight, if possible. May seem like an odd request, but at the end of 7 days, evaluate how you feel about yourself and how others (the ones you are telling this to or hugging, etc.) are now treating and reacting to you. You may be surprised.

Remember: what we send out comes back to us, be it good or bad. So why not send out a bit of love and light?

If you reach one person, that person counts, they are someone, just as you are. Everyone needs someone, even if they act as they do not or maybe even convinced themselves they do not.

In Love and Light,
