Spiritual Midwifery

I am of the opinion that sometimes we have issues, especially physical problems, whose sole purpose is to bring us closer to Spirit. Sometimes, my most valuable role in healing is as a spiritual midwife. Over the years, in the course of my work, I have witnessed many remarkable spiritual awakenings. One happened yesterday that I will long remember.

This was the fourth or fifth visit of this particular client to his "House of Healing." I call these kinds of hypnotherapy sessions where the client speaks to me while in a deep hypnotic trance Essential Healing because such work produces dramatic results. Usually after one or two Essential Healing sessions, a client's issue clears up.

For this man, the decades-old issue wasn't budging but he was feeling lighter, clearer, more peaceful after each session. Even his wife noticed the improvements in him. His "Inner Wisdom" was adamant about his ability to completely overcome his problem, so the lack of progress was a little frustrating for both the client and me. Because of his Inner Wisdom's unequivocal promptings, we kept at it.

So, there he was in his House of Healing, which for him was very much like an old Greek or Roman temple. He described in detail the few objects in the House as well as the landscape around it. Then slowly, with long pauses in between, he described a feeling of great peace, deep acceptance. He said he'd never felt like this before. Tears began to slip down his cheeks. This man who professed no particular faith, religion or spiritual beliefs quietly said, "I am filled with the grace of God."

Before his Essential Healing session concluded, his Inner Wisdom appeared more tangibly than ever before with yet another assurance that his problem could and would be resolved. After what I had witnessed, I couldn't possibly doubt that.
