Based on the following three
discussion, a shamanic view of healing entitled “One
View on Loss and Regaining Creative Power,” the
six types of accidents/illness, and “Some
Thoughts on Healing” a healing exercise can be created. This
healing exercise can assist you in the “Placebo illness” and the
combination/mixture illness discussed under the topic of the “Creativity
Perspective on Health and Related Issues.” How much intervention
and assistance you will need from some type of healer depends on how
strongly your conditions is tied to what you think it means to be a
human being in this time and place. That is not something another
can address. Only you can do that.
The root
of this healing exercise (Top)
Health ultimately lies in
directing our creative life energy into that which brings life into
our being and sustains our being. That is usually accomplished of
aligning the
desires of the mind with the intention
that brought us into incarnation. Fulfilment of that intention
allows us to live life in passion with a passion for living. It will
allow us to be in that safe space of
inner satisfaction and of wonderment and Ah to freely enter the
most creative state. It provides the freedom to be in that most
creative state of spontaneous and innocent childlike play of
discovery and exploration of the universe. The root of our non
healthy conditions lies in our loss of our ability to play and/or to
freely enter the most creative state It is the loss of the ability
to be in that state of wonderment and Ah of Creation.
Of course, we never really loss the ability to enter spontaneous and
innocent childlike play. Rather, because of the experiences of life
that thwarted our play, we develop response patterns to life that
keep us from “making the same mistakes again.” We create response
pattern to life to avoid the pain we experienced when our play was
thwarted. However, usually this occurred very early in life when we
had the mind and experiences of either an infant or very young
child. Hence the response patterns we develop to protect ourselves
are usually very childlike and based on a child’s mind. Usually they
fail to provide the depth and breadth we need to face life as an
adult. Quite simply, because our response pattern never change
unless we consciously choose to change them, we end up responding to
life as an adult though the mind of a child more often than we
realize.
The concept behind this exercise is to first reestablish the ability
to play and freely enter the most creative state of being. It is to
face the pain of the past and replace response patterns developed as
a child with adult response patterns to protect ourselves rather
than childlike patterns. Then simultaneously or in series, set a
clear intention and enter that state of play and create the
conditions that will create an experience of life more in line with
what one desires to create.
To begin the exploration of how and why we loss the ability to
spontaneously and innocently play or freely enter that state of
play, see if you can remember the circumstances or event(s) in your
life that answer each of the following questions. For some of us, we
may not have a conscious event to remember for it happened too early
in life. However, become aware of what you feel in exploring these
questions. We may not have a conscious memory of what happened, but
we will remember what we felt when it happened. In any case, write
what come to you the best you can whether they are feeling or vague
comments about the answer. If you can’t remember anything or have no
feelings, ask your intuition. Trust and honor what you get.
If you are one of the few who never stopped doing what the question
addresses, look to where there are situation in your past, or in
your life, where you are not free to do what is asked. Note those
type and kinds of times and places. For example, “I can cry but only
in private when no one is around, and even my family is gone.”
The
Questions (Top)
-
When did you stop
singing and what were the circumstances?
-
When did you stop dancing and what were the
circumstances
-
When did you stop dreaming and what were the
circumstances? (Dreaming as used here is not nocturnal dreaming but
rather dreaming in one’s imagination thing to create.)
-
When did you stop crying or rather lost the freedom to
cry - what were the circumstances?
-
When did you become too big to be held by mommy when
hurt to process your pain and what were the circumstances?
-
When did you stop laughing or rather lost the freedom
to laugh and what were the circumstances?
-
When did you stop freely exploring and discovering
life without judgement and what were the circumstances?
-
When did you lose your spontaneity and what were the
circumstances?
-
When did you lose your innocence and what were the
circumstances? Here we are talking about innocence at all levels of one’s being,
spiritual, mental, emotional, and spiritual innocence. So you could
ask four separate questions: 1) When did you lose your spiritual
innocence?; 2) When did you lose your mental innocence, 3) When did
you lose your emotional innocence?; and 4) When did you lose your
physical innocence?

There are nine questions. The
answers to each question should be told to another. The story you
tell around the answer should also address why you stopped. For
example,”I stopped crying when I was five years old. The story is
that my older sister made fun of me in front of my friends at my
birthday party. I was too embarrassed to ever cry again.” If you are
alone, write out your response as if you were talking to someone and
telling your story.
If this exercise is being done with a group of people, it is
recommend you tell your answer to your questions twice. Select a
partner and share your answers, your stories and what you feel
telling your story and listening to theirs alternating one question
at a time. Become aware of how you feel and what you feel? Then
select a second partner and repeat the exercise. In sharing your
answers, note if you change how you tell your story and whether your
feelings change as you tell as compared to the first time you told
it.
After telling your answers and sharing your stories twice consider
the following questions.
-
Did you notice you told your story differently the
second time or were they always exactly the same?
-
What do you think that was or was not? If you changed
your story, was it because: (1) you didn’t like the way you told it
the first time; (2) you remembered something new; (3) was it because
of the person you were telling it to; or (4) or was it what you felt
or what you thought about what you should tell them?
-
Did you experience you ego arising wanting to out do
the other person’s story?
-
Did you want to change the story you told because of
what you heard from the other person?
-
Discuss any other comments or observations
Family
medical review exercise (Top)
Review your family medical history
going back at least to your grandparents if possible. Do the
illnesses reveal anything to you about the lifestyle of the family
and how it influenced your answers, for example, “We never were
allowed to sing in my family.” Are there repeated illnesses that may
reflect some aspect of the family being denied. That is, some
ability or skill that is suppressed or never utilized as discussed
under the topic of “Genetic illness and service to humanity.”
Choosing to act (Top)
After reviewing all that you have
accessed and uncovered, for each question, ask your
intuitive
guidance if there is some
ritual or
metatheatrics you could perform
to regain that aspect.
Honor the guidance you get.
As you work to regain your ability to play and enter that most
creative state, ask your intuition what you need to do, or how you
need to live your life, to create what you consider a condition of
health. Honor the intuitive guidance you get.
As you move toward that state of play and allow yourself to explore
what you believe and why you believe what you do, you will also need
to ask your intuitive guidance why you created the condition you now
wish to heal. Unless you surface and understand the root cause of
the condition even thought you heal it in its current form, it may
arise again at some later time.
As you act on the advice of external healers in your life, you may
also wish to ask your intuitive guidance as to why you were drawn to
the particular healer(s) to whom you were drawn. Why them and not
another or others. You may find there is much more you should do
with this individual that just interact with them as a healer and
with you someone seeking to be healed. Your condition may just be
the occasion to bring you together and without the conditions you
have you would have no reason to enter that individuals’ life.
