HEALING - A COMMUNICATION WITH YOURSELF


   Quick  Reference  Note: The file RELAX.ZIP will come in handy as a prep
   for the following information...


   Self   healing   involves  the  inner  communication  with  ones  self.
   Visualization, another word for self  communication  is  used  in  this
   text.   In  the following document, the usage of visualization is quite
   important, so open your mind, and prepare yourself for the experience.

   One of the most important facts to consider when  trying  to  use  self
   healing  techniques,  is  an  understanding  of  the meaning behind our
   ailments.  And so here I offer some guidelines to help you get in touch
   with the messages within yourself.

   To begin with, I want to remind you that "The limits  of  your  beliefs
   define  the  limits of your reality".  For, this reason it is important
   that you allow yourself to be open to all possibilities.  If your  mind
   is  closed  to  the  notion  of  inner  guidance,  then  no  amount  of
   visualizing will produce it.  If you  are  open  to  finding  an  inner
   source of knowing, then--with patience and trust--you will.

   The  second  point  I want to make has to do with guilt and self-blame.
   While accepting that your illness is related to sub-conscious  thoughts
   and  beliefs  is  essential  for healing yourself, it is also essential
   that you not blame yourself for your illness.  Our  diseases  point  to
   positive  new  directions  where  we  need to go in our lives.  Staying
   stuck in guilt  serves  only  to  keep  us  stuck  in  self-destructive
   feelings.

   Third,  I  would like to mention that the consensus among those sources
   that I have researched, was that if it is not in the best interests  of
   the  whole  organism to overcome disease at this time, these techniques
   will   not   immediately   eliminate   the  disease.  Understanding the
   message of the disease will, however, indicate where you need  to  make
   life  changes, and become the first step toward a new relationship with
   your body and mind.

   And, finally, these and the  other  healing  techniques  in  this  text
   should  not be used apart from medical consultation.  "If you are sick,
   then you should see a doctor".   What  is  suggested  here  is  totally
   compatible  with  traditional  medical therapies and may assist them in
   helping the healing process.


                        SELF HEALING PROCEDURE SCRIPT


   Begin the visualization by becoming deeply  relaxed.   Using  your  own
   relaxation  method,  or  one  from RELAX.ZIP (available on this system)
   allow yourself to totally relax your mind and body,  so  that  you  are
   totally focused on your inner screen, so to speak.

   When you feel yourself deeply relaxed, go to  a  place  in  your  inner
   movie  (visualization)  that  is  very beautiful and very peaceful.  It
   might be a quiet, empty beach with  waves  gently  billowing  onto  the
   sand.   Or  it could be a lovely meadow on a glorious spring afternoon.
   Or it might be a place where you've vacationed and where  you  remember
   being very happy and relaxed.

   When  you  feel  yourself very comfortable in this beautiful place, look
   around for a person or an animal.  If you don't see it at  first,  keep
   looking within your minds eye.

   When the figure appears, ask it to talk with you.  Tell it why you have
   come looking for it.  Tell it that you need its help.

   Allow  yourself  to  be with this figure as comfortably as you would be
   with a friend in your own living room.  It is a part  of  you.   It  is
   your own creation.  It is benign...it is there to help you!

   When  you  feel  comfortable  and  accepting of your advisor (person or
   animal), ask it the question you have been wanting to ask.  Ask  it  to
   kindly  tell  you  the  message  of  your  illness  or pain.  Then wait
   patiently and receptively for the answer.  If an  answer  doesn't  come
   immediately,  ask  your  adviser  how  you  can find the answer to your
   question.

   Keep asking questions until you have the answers that you have  sought.
   When  your  answers  come and you feel satisfied that they are what you
   sought, that your adviser and tell it that you  will  return  again  to
   visit with it.

   Allow  yourself  to  come  back into the here and now of outer reality.
   Allow yourself to feel good and to feel that you have  found  out  what
   you wanted to know.

   Allow yourself to use the information you have received with wisdom and
   love.   Allow  yourself  to return to the beautiful place where you met
   with your adviser whenever you feel a need for guidance.

   Allow  yourself  to  know  that  "YOU"  are giving yourself a great and
   important gift by discovering the message of your illness or pain.



   May you find the peace that you deserve, and may this text  assist  you
   in your task ahead....
