the place called Perfect Health

Deepak Chopra shares in his book "Perfect Health": "There exists in every person a place that is free from disease, that never feels pain, that cannot age or die. When you go to this place, limitations which all of us accept cease to exist. They are not even entertained as a possibility. This is the place called perfect health."


As a Spiritualist, I believe in personal responsibility and that individuals create their own reality according to Spiritual Natural Law. This also means that suffering is a choice. Suffering in our relationships, our finances, and our lives is a choice.


When I first read about this concept, I was blown out of the water, especially in terms of Health. For when personal responsibility and spiritual natural law are applied to health, this means that suffering with sickness is a choice.


On top of that, when one examines the cause of disease, it seems to involve a mysterious factor called "control by the host", meaning that we as the host of germs somehow open or close the gate to them.  I suppose this would be a combination of Spiritual Natural Laws.


As one of my favorite metaphysical writers Florence Shinn explains: "Germs do NOT exist in superconsciousness or Divine Mind, therefore they are the product of man's 'vain imagination'." One can only contract germs while vibrating at the same rate as the germ.  According to Shinn, fear drags men down to the level of the germ. The disease-laden germ is the product of the carnal-mortal mind, because all thoughts objectify.  This leads to the spiritual understanding that one can be fearless and undisturbed in a germ-laden situation, and he will be immune. 


And this is reiterated in Wayne Dyer's book "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life" ... "Suffering with illness just isn't an option when one lives in harmony with the Divine".


I believe each of us can overcome adversity in our lives.  In fact, I hear stories firsthand and in the news about people who are overcoming physical, mental, and emotional challenges every week. Their amazing examples encourage me to dig deeper to find resources within myself to overcome the perceived challenges in my life (health and otherwise) and to remember suffering is a choice.


In his book "Living with the Himalayan Masters", Swami Rami (founder of the Himalayan Institute) writes: "The power of self-healing is buried in the tomb of every human life. By uncovering the potentials of that power one can heal oneself."


So how do we achieve and/or maintain Great Amazing Perfect Divine Health?


Metaphysical teachers seem to agree that having a positive outlook is key:

    - Refuse to anticipate that things will get worse
    - Perceive any discomfort, fatigue, ache, or sniffle as a message to follow the body's signals back to a natural state of well-being
    - Know that the body is capable of healing infirmities because it knows it isn't a human creation, but a product of the Divine
    - Trust in the capacity of the body to live without sickness or suffering.

Also, examine your habits. Don't be weakened by destructive pursuits. And really listen to and trust the messages from your body - then listen to what your soul tells you about those signals. Cultivate a happy mindset which will not entertain sickness thoughts. 


Affirm with me: I choose to be healthy and live from the place called Perfect Health.


Here is the Prayer for Spiritual Healing used in Spiritualist Churches:
I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force
to Remove All Obstructions from my Mind and Body
And to Restore Me to Perfect Health.
I ask this in All Sincerity and Honesty and I will Do My Part.
I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force to
Help both Present and Absent Ones who are in Need of Help
and to Restore Them to Perfect Health.
I put my Trust in the Love and Power of God.

Thank you for your insights on personal responsibility's connection to personal health. This makes a lot of sense to me and your words are timely. Looking forward to visiting Lilydale this summer!

Q & A: Will our session be a conversation with spirit loved ones?

Q: What happens during a mediumship reading? Will it be a conversation between me and my spirit loved ones? A: Each reading is unique, so I never know what to expect during a reading. As a medium, I open myself with the highest and best intention to receive information from your spirit loved ones. Once we establish contact with a spirit loved one and have established their identity, we can engage them in conversation and ask them questions. Many times, a reading is an opportunity to chat with your family and extended family and maybe a few of your closest friends. It can be a special time for reunion and a sharing of memories. It can be a chance to say "hello" or "I'll see you again" or "I love you". Perhaps it will be a time for making amends and apologies. Or it can be an opportunity for closure and explanation. Or it can a time to receive guidance and opinions from those you trust in Spirit. Or it can be a confirmation of your own experiences with s

Timeframe for spirit contact

Q: My mom just died unexpectedly last week. Is it too soon for me to try to make contact with her through you? I vaguely remember someone telling me that they're not "available" right after they pass? Is there a general timeframe? Please let me know. Thank you. A: There is no official wait time before establishing communication with a spirit loved one. I have noticed some spirits are ready to communicate immediately and other spirits take longer. Some mediums suggest a six month time period. I feel this is a good timeframe for many clients because by then they have processed some of their grief and are not in a desperate space. There is a difference between being ready and being needy. It just depends on the client and the spirit. Trust your own soul regarding this. When you are ready, you just know. What a blessing it is that you know you will connect with your mother's spirit in divine right timing and that love never dies. If you have a general question whose answ

Your job during a mediumship reading

If you are the person who is receiving a mediumship reading and desiring spirit contact, you have a very important job --- CONFIRMATION. This means confirmation either by your own personal knowledge or thru the personal knowledge of another person known to the spirit. During the course of the mediumship reading, you can confirm the information that you know to be true. And some information may require validation after the reading with friends or other family members who are privy to this certain info. Here are some examples of ways in which a spirit may try to validate who they are: The spirit's personality traits or physical characteristics may be described. This is part of what I call the Essence of Spirit . Most spirits are willing to share how they passed with the medium. Sometimes the spirit will give names very clearly or just the initial. Often spirits will give important dates of reference to further validate themselves. They have been known to mention other family members,
