Can prayers really help you get healing? Are angels or
spiritual guides just fantasy or are they really at the
other end of your whisper for help?
Laura, a shy 17 year old, could not wait to get home from
the world renowned Hospital For Special Surgery that
excruciatingly hot day in New York, July 1970. As soon as
she arrived, she leapt to her bedroom throwing her face on
her pillow, sobbing uncontrollably. No amount of pounding
fists or furious tears could change her fate. The doctors
had recommended an operation, which would put her in a body
caste for a year and would force her to learn to walk
again! She was devastated.
She had been diagnosed with scoliosis and a severe lower
back injury, which could cause her to lose the ability to
walk later in life. She had heard about scoliosis, but now
she was the one burdened with this deformity beneath baggy
clothes and a "great personality."
On that hot July day Laura decided, "No way. I am not
going to have this scary operation." She decided to live
with her twisted body and lower back pain well into young
adulthood, accepting her "ugly" fate stoically.
In her late twenties, she began experimenting for a
healing, trying different, unorthodox treatments, since the
medical establishment had no hope for her.
At one point she even bought a bar on which to hang upside
down from special "gravity boots." Every day she would
hang there for 30 minutes or so hoping gravity would be her
ally and readjust those crooked bones.
One day as she hung upside down she decided to pray for a
solution from God. Perhaps it was the extra blood rushing
to her head, but until that moment, she had never had the
inspiration to ask in prayer for help.
Shortly after she began those prayers, she started having
dreams of being a ballerina. She had so many of them she
began to get the message. Ballerina's all had
magnificently straight spines!
It was difficult starting ballet at 28 years old but after
each lesson, she would feel and look straighter, taller and
more symmetrical. One day after about a year into this,
her mother exclaimed, "You are getting straighter! This is
a miracle!" Laura already knew it was working and smiled
secretly to herself.
Her spine continued to improve. Laura moved from being the
quiet girl to being a sought out social butterfly. She
even became an avid ballroom and Latin dancer, an entire
social life and artistic expression blossoming around it.
She had been led by her dreams after praying for help, to a
healing and it had worked!
I can testify this story is real, because it is about
myself.
We all have access to the power of spirit. However, your
spiritual resources are not going to rally to your support
until you firmly and deliberately ask for it.
Try this little exercise. Identify a challenge you are now
having in your life. Now get into a relaxed state, either
through deep breathing and a quieting of your mind, or just
before falling off to sleep at night. After you relax, ask
a higher power, God, to help you solve the problem. See it
being solved; see yourself shining and exuberantly happy
with a solution.
Keep a journal next to your bed at night. If you are
awakened with a dream write down what you saw. Within
these dreams you might have found the answer to your
problem. The answer might come from reading an article,
which prompts a solution. You might speak to a friend who
tells you a story about someone who had a similar concern
and how they solved it. The answer can come from anywhere.
But you have to ask for guidance, and then remain open and
alert to receiving the answer.
