Real
Healing
“It's
when we start working together that the real healing takes place...”
David
Hume
Have
you ever been healed? If you have, you know the power of friendship
in the process. You may also know the power of prayer. I won't
pretend to know how prayer works, but I do know that there is a
connection between prayer and healing. I believe it to be the power
of love.
If
we need scientific evidence to believe in the efficacy of prayer in
healing, we might start with research in the field of Kirlian
photography. It started out innocently enough, looking at the auric
field around plants. The field clearly changed when the plant was
cut, or threatened with being cut, and when the plant was cared for
and appreciated. So the research moved on to human beings. When we
are frightened, our field draws close our bodies like armor, as if to protect us
from harm. When we are in love, our auric field expands, extends
outward from our bodies significantly and becomes rosy. This happens
especially when we touch the ones we love. When we meditate or pray,
the field does much the same as when we are in love—it grows larger
and extends to those around us. It has a calming effect. We feel our
heart energy opening and expanding.
Last
week, Pope Francis repeatedly asked people to pray for him. And he
prayed for others. As a charismatic, his auric field is larger than
most to begin with, and all the love he received and gave greatly
expanded it. When he came close to people, or touched them, they
felt it. Senator Chuck Schumer, who is not Catholic, told CNN his “hair was
standing on end” when he met the Pope. I think Pope Francis
repeatedly asked for prayer because he wants us to pray more, love
more, expand our auric field with that love, and touch one another. If all of us were to follow his request, we might just heal ourselves and
our world. I believe in miracles, don't you?
In
the Spirit,
