Do Angels Heal?

Do Angels Heal?

Here I was in Hawaii for my first time, visiting my sister-in-law Rachel. Rachel had found me a massage table so I could see clients. She put the table in a cute little bungalow, under a window facing the greenery. Everything looked quite normal when Rachel’s friend asked to see me.

I started the standard 10 Step Protocol. I listened deeply and her body responded–self-correcting and then…reenacting and releasing scenes of being abused and choked. It was not your typical Hijack response. We were both surprised and had no explanation. Preparing for the Dural Rock, I moved my left hand under her occiput (back of her head) and right hand under her sacrum. Gazing absent-mindedly through the wall, I noticed something outside the bungalow striding toward me. It was an angel–a Christian one–tall, pure white, wings strongly attached to the back, no talk and all business.

The angel walks RIGHT THROUGH the wall, stands before me silently, reaches his hands out for the body–I mean the client–and takes the body as I lift her up weightlessly into his arms. Now, of course, this whole time the client is actually lying on the massage table with my left hand under her head and my right hand under her hips, but in the VISION–a lot more is happening!!!!  The angel turns around, still carrying her in his arms, and walks RIGHT BACK THROUGH the wall again. Through the window I see he has carried her to a spiritual pool of water, waterfall in the background (this IS Hawaii, after all), where she is now seated on a chair with a man scrubbing her back….

I pretend nothing has happened and finish the session. At the end, I tell her, a little hesitantly, “You know…when I was beginning the Dural Rock, this angel came and….” I tell her the whole story.

She is silent for only a moment. “Who was the man washing me?” she demands to know.

I think for a moment. “It’s not your father,” I say slowly…. “It’s not your brother…. It IS a relative…. Oh, I know! It’s your uncle!”

Was she mad! “No, it’s not,” she retorts. “It’s St. Germain. I ALWAYS pray to St. Germain!”

I’m into this treatment a little deeper than my teacher had prepared me for. But I’m not ready to give up–something hasn’t been revealed yet. I’m getting that it’s her uncle; she’s getting that it’s St. Germain. How can this be?

“Ask if St. Germain was at one time your uncle,” I tell her. She muscle tests.

“YES!” She replies. She glows; the whole room seems to light up. The whole session, in which we cleared her deep blocks and traumas, had been leading up to her realizing that her precious St. Germain had also found her precious, that they were forever linked in love and caring. The session’s crowning healing was her experiencing her divine worthiness, her emotional closeness to those spiritual beings who take good care of her.

She has more to tell me. “The past few months I had been praying to be cleansed, that G-d would cleanse me, and I didn’t care what it would take. When I heard you were coming to Hawaii, I knew I had to see you. Now I know why.”

A few months later, I was treating the head of a massage school. By then, I had noticed that craniosacral therapy is a virtual 3-ring circus. I do one thing with my hands; some whoosh of energy comes from the earth behind me and loops over my right shoulder and works on the client independently–usually around the legs; and a huge hand hovers over the person’s abdomen.  All this, and more, was happening with this client.

“I think you had some angels in the treatment,” I said quietly at the end.

“Oh, I’m sure I did,” she said airily. “Clients bring their own angels with them.”

“They do?” I was surprised that no one had mentioned this in Craniosacral I. It was the missing link for me. Of course a Christian would bring in a Christian angel, and someone else would bring in another angel meaningful to them. And of course I was likely to be unfamiliar with these angels, as they were not mine.

So I was really surprised when, at the end of the summer, my Craniosacral II instructor sarcastically imitated some client reactions:

“I’ve seen G-d!” he said with a false Holy Roller tremor in his voice.

His phoney cover-up was the last straw. “Look, I’m a nice Jewish girl,” I interrupted. “I had never seen a Christian angel before, and you guys did NOT warn us about angels!” I told the class about Rachel’s friend—and that her true healing was not that I did the 10 Step Protocol properly but that she had found her love and spiritual protection.

The teacher brushed me off. “There are 40 students in this classroom,” he announced officiously, “And you are probably the ONLY one who has seen angels.”  With that he changed the topic.

I did not believe him. Was I more special than anyone else? In fact, at break-time, of the 5 craniosacral practitioners sitting closest to me, 4 of them confided in me that they had seen angels.

“Not only that,” said the 60-ish man sitting in front of me, “The clients can see them too.  And my population are tough people who are not given to spacey things. I work in a small town in Colorado, where I’ve known everyone for decades. I’m old enough to have known their parents, and I know their parents are in the room when I treat them.”

What do YOU think? Have you ever seen angels that heal? Love to hear!

What Is Energy Healing?

What Is Energy Healing?

In Energy Healing, we tune into the energy of the body or situation and wait for directions. With humility, a light touch, a pure desire to help, and a lot of practice–the gifted therapist will know how to help the body self-correct, the mind reach truth, the soul fly.  When people come to me, their body and soul have been making a laundry list of whatever they want to work on: in priority order. We will not know how the body, mind, and soul want to heal. Sometimes a craniosacral session turns into guided healing and ends with an individual family constellation. Or the opposite! Body, mind, and soul will always interrupt the session (I call it “high-jacking”) to get done what they came for!

Some clients will find that their shoulder suddenly feels better. Others will get answers to whatever they need to focus on. Often the healing is on a more foundational level than the client thought to deal with–and the results more far-reaching….

It is hard to speak of deep healing without talking about God! If I help heal people’s conflicts and misconceptions in ways that speak to them, make sense to them, comfort them, and strengthen their unique capabilities and journeys–then it is natural that, once the body and emotions are soothed, clients find they can connect better to themselves and their Divinity.

Guided by the unseen world, we can navigate–even benefit from–life’s ups and downs.

Measuring Healing

Measuring Healing

Q: How can you tell if a treatment worked? After all, you don’t measure anything.

A: A craniosacral treatment is working if one of four things happen:

1) The client takes a full, deep breath.
2) The client feels heat under my hands.
3) I hear “stomach/intestinal sounds.”
4) I feel “therapeutic pulse” under my fingers–a pulse that starts gently, crescendoes, and then disappears.

Although I can tell IF a treatment is working, it is harder to tell WHAT is working. For example, one client’s body requested that I do a minute motion multiple times. I felt I was doing very little and thought, “Boy, she is just going to get off this table and slam the door and tell me I am crazy!” She later said, “When you were working on my stomach, I was watching different foods coming down, and each food went to the pile on the left if the food was bad for me and to the pile on the right if the food was good for me!”

Healing and the Coming of Mashiach

Healing and the Coming of Mashiach

Q: In the frum (Jewishly observant) world, everyone talks about waiting and wanting Mashiach (the Jewish messiah) to come. You’re the first person to tell me about people healing before that happens and specific people being called on to heal others in the days preceding Mashiach. What is this based on?

 

A: I first started noticing this when I heard a Shabbat drash (lecture) at a Bet Chabad in Baltimore in 1999 or 2000 from a rabbi visiting from Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel). He said that as Mashiach approaches, we will be gifted with more and more powers.

As Mashiach approaches, we will be gifted with more and more powers.

It is clear to Israeli frum healers that the world is changing. Some of us healers are getting unsolicited information about the political situation in Eretz Yisrael–not in the form of governmental issues but about the Land crying out for her people.

We are getting unsolicited information…about the Land crying out for her people.

We are getting information about what is safe and what is not safe. Some of us are getting the same type of information as the great mekubalim!  Information can come to us spontaneously even about the future, which a Jew is not allowed to ask about. Even in the US, this was happening to me. Once I taught my mother to muscle test in order to find the nutrients that would save my husband from a dire situation with Lyme disease, she was able to muscle test with me on many issues. The muscle testing would sometimes spontaneously turn into a vision–sort of like a movie–of a past life in which I could see the actors clearly and repeat verbatim conversations between significant others and could see what had happened and how the thoughts in that event continued to affect my family today.

So when I asked Mom to help me determine, in the spring of 2000, which month would be good for me to take my young children to Eretz Yisrael for the first time, we got that we should not go that summer. I asked about September. We got a no again. Then the information came to me that the reason we should not go in September is because there would be a war. I got very frightened and called my rabbi–a Sefardi who by the way could see things in my house over the phone–and told him that I had gotten information about the future, which was asur (forbidden), but that I hadn’t intentionally asked about the future and what to do about something I had begun innocently enough and had turned into something asur. Now back in 2000 no one thought that there would be any war in Eretz Yisrael–the last war had been in 1973. My rabbi said it was OK and that the “war” was between the Ashkenazi and Sefardi Jews and that when he has to go to Eretz Yisrael he only stays a few days because he can’t enjoy the tension there. Well, I spent 6 months wondering how I could be so inaccurate as to get that war was coming to Eretz Yisrael while my rabbi had explained it away as only Jewish-group tension. Comes Rosh Hashana that September and the Intifada breaks out! I called my rabbi to ask what happened and he said simply, “We call you ‘bul’ [bull’s eye].” I began to realize there was something seriously wrong with our religious leadership because I, a “poor handmaiden,” could see and do things that they couldn’t or didn’t want to–things needed for our people’s own development and safety.

When I compare notes with my former healing teacher in Efrat, we are seeing the same thing–Arabs leaving, abandoning their villages and fruit trees. People in Eretz Yisrael who are connected to their hearts and to nature are preparing for the great influx of Jews who will leave their homes in chutz la’aretz (outside of Israel) and flood to Eretz Yisrael.

I look at my daughter’s friends here in Eretz Yisrael and they all want to go into healing of some sort or another. They all want to serve.

And healing itself has changed in the last 20 years. In those days, I had learned from Carolyn Lee Tubman–a very talented herbalist, muscle tester, and ghost buster in Maryland–how to test for potentially allergenic foods for my small children. How we muscle tested 20 years ago was clumsy and difficult. The patient had to hold the item in one hand and stretch out the other arm. Then the practitioner had to push down on the stretched-out arm and determine whether the muscles were stronger with or without the item. Today, we can just think of the item and feel a slight change in our own body, hands, or even thoughts. With that may come a new flood of healing information above and beyond the yes/no answers that muscle testing yields. Clearly from the Treasury of Unearned Gifts.

I heard from Chana Bracha Siegelbaum, the head of Midreshet B’erot Bat Ayin and an amazing Torah teacher and healer herself, that in the days of Mashiach, we will all be healed, and that the Bet HaMikdash (holy Temple in Jerusalem) itself will serve to heal people.

In the days of Mashiach, we will all be healed, and…the Bet HaMikdash itself will serve to heal people.

What we are going through now is a type of healing whose purpose has not been relayed to us by our clergy.  Approaching the times of Mashiach is a little like approaching the Bet HaMikdash. As Rabbi Shimshon Refael Hirsch says, the reason that the Cohein Gadol (High Priest) could wear shatnas (forbidden mixture of linen and wool) in the Bet HaMikdash is that, in the world of intense perfection of Hashem (G-d), all contradictions are melted. Similarly, as we approached Har Sinai (Mount Sinai) so many centuries ago, all the people were healed–as it says, they all heard…and saw….  Why is this happening? Why can you now heal 7 or more generations back in your ancestral line, which no one else until you were born could clear?

What it took me until the age of 58 to do in the healing world, my daughter could do with ease at the tender age of 19. She is even more powerful now at the age of 22.

Healers in the non-frum world are saying that the consciousness of the world is changing and, according to my Seattle Family Constellations teacher, this is making it easier to do healing. The “pathways” are already laid down and well-trodden, she says.

One reiki master I met in Hawaii rattled off the four stages of people with higher consciousness–stages that are well known to the non-frum healing world. The second stage that one goes through is “Healer.” This all makes sense now, as I have been strongly pulled to do this healing stuff–which is WAY far away from what I wanted to do with my life (to create a seminary to teach teachers how to teach Torah through hands-on nature). Nature-Torah education is really what I thought Hashem had wanted me to do with my life–and I have had to put this all on brutal hold while I traipse around the world gathering ways to heal people.

I and my healing colleagues in Israel are seeing much that is channeling us in the same direction. The people need to be healed. The Land needs to be populated with her beloved holy children.

The people need to be healed. The Land needs to be populated with her beloved holy children.

There are major shifts in world climate and population dislocation that are already happening because of the future Healing to come.

There is no doubt that you are part of this–an honored part of this generation that will lead (who knows when?) to the coming and celebrating of Mashiach. You are not one of the people who are waiting for Mashiach. You are bringing him. That is your task (among many others–including motherhood). You are not being given anything that you can’t handle. Your simcha (joy) will lie in choosing Life–the Life that Hashem is asking you to live and spread.
