    About this ebook

    A Healers Guide to Miracles has three parts: theory, practice, and mediations. The first part, theory, defines what a miracle is. Next, miracles are discussed in terms of the mental, emotional, and physical. The last chapter of part one looks deeply into the role that forgiveness plays in healing. In part two, practice, there is a format similar to part one. First, the physical environment of the healer is discussed. The next chapter deals with the practical aspects of healing the mind. A chapter is devoted to the topic of love in healing. This chapter goes deeply into the roles of compassion, empathy, and faith in healing. Finally, there is a chapter titled Healing Yourself Divine Mind Healing. This is a meditation that integrates the deepest principles of A Course in Miracles with the healing of specific symptoms. Part three is titled Mediations The Experience of Miracles. This part contains four mediations. Each of these helps bring about the miracleminded state that is necessary in order to heal and be healed.

      Preface

      This book is written for people who want to integrate principles of miracles into their lives. If you want to find a deeper meaning of healing, then this book may be for you. If you are a chiropractor, massage therapist, rolfer, or any other type of body worker and want to integrate miracle principles into your practice, this book will be valuable to you.

      I began writing this book for myself in order to clear up questions I had about the object of my passion—healing. As a student of a book called A Course in Miracles, I have come to realize that true healing takes place in the mind. The healing of the body follows the mind as an effect. Specifically, A Course in Miracles (Henceforth, for the sake of ease and simplicity, I will refer to A Course in Miracles as the Course.) teaches that sickness is the result of the false idea of separation from God and that All healing is essentially the release from fear. (1)

      Is this really true? I asked myself. If so, then there must be some mechanism or process whereby the specific fear thought evolves into a physical symptom. I wanted to know the nature and mechanics of this process. I researched it and came to an understanding. The results of that research are in chapter four (Miracles and the body).

      In addition to being a student of miracles, I am also a chiropractor. Chiropractors work on the body (specifically, we adjust the nervous system) to help bring forth healing. Being a rather introspective type of person, I was faced with a dilemma shortly after I opened my practice. The question I continually labored over was how to honor what I felt was true—that true healing occurs in the mind while, at the same time, serving the clients who came to me for work on their body (nervous system).

      This book began as a simple journal. I wrote about my experiences healing myself and as a facilitator for the healing of others. I also chronicled realizations which came as a result of meditation and research. I wanted to put all of it together to understand it at a much deeper level in order to help me better apply it to my life and to my practice. As I began to write, my understanding deepened and, more and more, the journaling started to take the form of a book. Later, it occurred to me that there might be others who had faced the same dilemma so I decided to make my personal book into one that I could distribute.

      The extent to which I have been influenced by the Course will become apparent when you begin to read A Healer’s Guide to Miracles and see the frequent references to the Course. Although it is helpful, it is not necessary for you to have read the Course in order to benefit from this book.

      Miracle Stories

      Throughout this book there are several anecdotal stories about miraculous healings. Each of these stories have three things in common; (1) A life-threatening or chronic illness, (2) A spiritual breakthrough for the person suffering with the disease, and (3) A miracle resulting in a physical healing.

      I have purposely chosen miracle stories that have physical healings as a result. I hope it becomes clear in the course of this book that a miracle can occur without resulting in a physical healing. For instance, a person with cancer may embark on a healing journey and attain a deeper level of intimacy with his family and friends. His physical body may die, but it still may be called a miracle that he was able to love more deeply than before he was sick.

      Introduction

      Healing is the one ability everyone can develop and must develop if he is to be healed. (1)

      If you were to ask ten different people What does it mean to heal? you would probably receive ten different answers. The response might be in terms of the physical body (I cut my finger and it healed) or the emotional body (My ex-wife and I are healing our relationship). There are innumerable definitions of the word healing. Yet, it is just another word that has whatever meaning we give to it. For the purposes of this writing, I will define healing, as much as possible, in the same way the Course defines it. To heal means to integrate and to make one. (2)

      It is the false idea of separation, in whatever form it seems to take, that needs to be integrated. As we look around the world at large, it seems that everything is separate. It appears that there are a bunch of separate bodies walking around who are also separate from the environment and from God. Yet this is an illusion. There is no separation; there never has been and there never will be. We are all one. Thus healing is a correction of some mistake that never really occurred. I will elaborate upon this in the next chapter.

      This type of healing is important because wholeness is our natural state. Separation is an illusion. This is difficult to prove or understand intellectually. It can only be experienced. The good news is that it is fairly easy to experience. As a matter of fact, the Course says that you need do nothing. (3) What could be easier than that?! In this book, I will pass on to you some exercises that I have found helpful in experiencing this state of wholeness.

      Who heals?

      You heal yourself, not others. In fact, if you set out to heal someone else, then you will inevitably fail. Why is that? There is nobody else out there! Remember that it is the idea of separation that needs to be healed. There is only one of us here. When you set out to heal somebody else it is as if you started a journey to the North Pole by walking south. Healing is an internal job. Others may come to you for healing but it is always yourself that you heal. This book addresses the mechanics of conducting a healing practice while holding this realization.

      Why heal?

      You are not required to heal. It is always your choice because you always have free will. Perhaps you are thinking I’m happy and joyful already, so why should I bother? Here are two questions for you: (1) Are you happy and joyful all the time (It is
