Lesson #4: Pray for a miracle and believe it could happen to you
I wasn’t only healed from Crohn’s disease. In time, I was completely cured from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and all the other diagnosis, like eczema, depression, anxiety, insomnia and irregular menstruation, disappeared. I was free.
Healing was intense work. Taking care of myself was a full-time job. I learned healers are the guides that point our body in the direction towards health. It is our willingness to change and commitment to the process that creates miracles. The body is so incredibly intelligent. It speaks to us, sometimes subtly at first. It’s our job to listen. Our body is our responsibility, an amazing gift for us to nurture, love and learn from. The state of our body reflects the world we’re living in. As a society, we tend to take better care of our cars than we do our bodies. When it comes to the human body, people feel ignorant, intimidated and scared so they automatically begin to feel powerless.
We may not receive an instructional manual to the body at birth, but there are many right in your local bookstore. There’s a wealth of knowledge available to those who are ready to break through those old patterns and and discover a new way of living. There are many resources now available to learn more about your body, and many tools to help you regain homeostasis, balance, which was the original mission of doctors in this world.
Since I’ve been healed, I’ve fallen in love with food. Food, which was once my source of pain and misery, is now a beautiful sensory experience – the textures, the aromas, the colors! I now love my body. I love being free of toxicity and the symptoms associated with it, so I chose my foods accordingly. The earth is a food emporium, and everything she makes tastes so amazing!
One of the greatest lessons I learned from being healed is how little I appreciated the daily benefits of feeling well. To be able to move without pain, to be able to wake up in the morning and actually feel rejuvenated with natural energy to start my day, to be able to digest food with no pain, to be able to walk as far as I want to, and go anywhere I want to at any time, is a blessing to me. I didn’t appreciate this freedom of living before I experienced what life felt like as a prisoner. I learned not only the meaning of gratitude, but I feel and experience it deep in my soul.
Some skeptics have said to me, “Maybe you never had Crohn’s disease.” I have plenty of medical documentation from many different doctors over the years that prove that I did, in fact, have a pretty severe case. I have learned not to take others doubt personally, as I too was once a skeptic. I too once forgot that anything is curable, anything is possible.
For some, illness has provided an opportunity to leave behind inspiration for friends and family to consider taking better care of themselves. For others, illness serves as a higher education you can then use to help others. The greatest gift you can receive is to see the light and the lessons that illness teaches you. It’s from here that we transcend from victim to hero, from darkness to light.
