Keep an Open Mind

I have noticed as I travel this journey of mine, that there are people that judge by appearances only. I don't mean judge me, though I am sure that there are those that do just that, but judge in general. Everyone has their own issues and they deal with those issues in different ways. These are issues that they are trying to fix in any way that seems to be the correct way for them.

There are the main stream ways, these are accepted by most and receive approval from those around them as the way to improve their issues. Conventional means of problem solving, whether it be medical or physiological, are wonderful and I completely encourage them. I use them myself and I have great respect for those fields. I chose to work with them and not against them.

I don't understand why there are those that disapprove so readily and loudly of anyone that is using a method different or in addition to, the one that they see as the normal route to take. I have heard the word crazy used at times for those seeking a non-traditional method of healing to go along with the traditional methods. Why is this crazy? Just because you don't understand it and don't wish to understand, that does not make it crazy.

The human mind is the strongest part of the healing process. I have a friend whose husband was injured in the Vietnam war. She said that he lay there and watched as people came in and it was confusing at times. Those that came in with seemingly mild injuries would die while others that came in with injuries so severe, there was no way that they should have lived, but they did. The difference in the injured people came down to the strength of their minds. If they gave up, so did their bodies. If their minds were strong and they were determined, then they worked with the people trying to save them. They gave strength of will to the healing and I believe helped heal themselves.

The physical body can be understood by our scientists, the mechanics of it have been defined and it is understood that when this happens it creates this other thing. The mind is an entirely different matter. The brain, the physical part of the mind, can be studied and categorized. The mind though??? How to study the human mind, the thoughts, the processes, the enigmas that can be found there. Just because something cannot be explained in scientific proofs, does not mean that it doesn't exist. The mind and its thoughts exist. Everyone is aware of that as we all have them and need no scientific experiments to prove that small fact. The strength of our mind and why it is different from one person to the next, is something that is still being worked on.

What I do, giving Reiki, works with the areas that scientists are just now starting to examine. Cameras have picked up our auras, things not seen with the naked eye. Researchers have done studies on amputees and through MRI's have realized that the missing limb still has a magnetic outline of it that shows up in the films. The body remembers all of its parts, even after they've been removed.

Just because someone is using a method of healing that you don't personally approve of, please don't label them as crazy. When you can see the results and see progress being made, then embrace and rejoice with them. There are many wondrous things in this world and being open to them can add so much to our personal lives. All that I ever ask anyone is to just keep an open mind.
