Healing Energy
By Mohammed | September 13, 2007I received a gift in my email last night. I usually check the email in the evenings before going to bed. Often I’m tired and distracted, not really wanting to take care of anything right then but feeling compelled to check it anyway. Is that called an email addiction? Doesn’t matter. That is not the point.
But late last night I received this note from the Abequotes list that I subscribe too.
always understood. You are always adored. You are always cared for
and well-being is always pre-paved before you. In other words, you do
live in an environment of absolute grace. And the more you practice
thoughts of that and watch for evidence of that and speak it, then
you beat the drum of it whenever you see it. In other words, we love
it when we hear you say “I am so blessed. I am so blessed.” Because,
there is something about those words that says at the same time, Not
only are good things coming to me but I am finally understanding my
deservability in the good things that are coming.
I didn’t realize at the time that it was a gift. As I read it again this morning I realized that I missed most of it last night. Just one thought from this wonderful quote popped into my head. “I am so Blessed, I am so Blessed”. And I thought about that and remembered the times when I really felt how blessed I was, and I remembered a favorite song “I have been blessed” and I reflected upon all of the things that I have in my life and the reasons why I really am “so blessed”.
I really, really felt it. I really, really experienced that feeling of blessedness. I felt the joy and the happiness and the peace come over me in a palpable manner. It felt so good and I fell asleep feeling the joy.
Well I woke up this morning and of course, I felt great. But not only that I physically felt great. You see, about 2 weeks ago, I came down with a cold, a dreadful end-of-summer cold. I don’t think I’ve had a cold for a few years and I know that I haven’t had one in the summer for years and years and years. But two weeks ago I was worried and stressed out about an upcoming event. I wasn’t sleeping well, I was eating poorly. And contrary to my own advice I was worrying about something in the future that might not even happen. Yeah, sometimes it‘s tough to be human but we all are! My immune system must have felt the stress because I got a really bad cold. And it just didn’t seem to be getting any better. Every morning I would feel the congestion, every night the coughing would keep me awake. I was miserable.
But last night I took the gift from my email and I felt it. I experienced it. I could feel the energy of joy and happiness as I contemplated just how really blessed I am in my life.
And this morning I felt better, much, much better, amazingly better!
Is that healing energy? I think so.

This is really a great post and so true. We often forget our own power. Another one that works for me – very similar – is “I am love” or “I am filled with joy, love, and laughter”.
How can you be sick if that’s true?

Nice post. I think this is one of the keys to true happiness: realizing the many ways in which our lives have been blessed.

Dan and Jennifer,
Those are beautiful affirmations. I think the real power comes from not just the affirmation but the feeling of the affirmation, when you really feel it and experience it deep. That is where the power lies!

Peter,
It really is a key to happiness–to be grateful and appreciative of the blessings in our lives!
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful post. It is important to go to sleep in that peaceful mindset-my wife and I often do 5-minute visualizations before going to sleep, and it helps!

It really does! Joy, Gratitude and appreciation is the only thing to go to sleep on!
thanks, Alvaro

What a blessing this post is! And of course it comes at exactly the right moment in my life, while I need to hear it, *and* while I also celebrate the many ways I am touched by grace.
Today I also celebrate *you* for giving me this gift.
Love,
Pippa
