I recently spent time in the ER with severe pain and was diagnosed with a kidney stone stuck in my kidney. After I was loaded up with pain meds I kept thinking how my body had failed me and it was not living up to our agreement - ya know, an agreement that this body wouldn't fall apart until I was on my deathbed. It seemed my body had inadvertently created a rock within me and now I needed to deal with getting that rock spit out of my body. I felt disappointed with my physical self and actually kind of pissed.
It's been a few days of trying to get this rock out of my system and it is finally out of my kidney but not even close to leaving. Today I finally felt well enough to begin using some Qigong healing techniques to try and move things along.
I began by sitting in my meditation position, eyes closed, deep breaths, and then got into the zone. But something unusual and remarkable happened. I felt a huge hug envelop me and it was filled with such great love I started to tear up. It was as if someone was physically embracing me, but I knew I was alone. I then seemed to “hear” a voice that said, "To heal your body you need to accept this and love your body back to health. Do not blame your body for failing you. Appreciate it, treat it with kindness and admiration. Love it, just like I am doing to you right now. Your body will heal quickly if it knows it is loved and appreciated."
I could feel a change within me - a type of soaring. I was immersed in genuine acceptance and love.
It was a good reminder that the healing process is so much easier and has better results if it is done in an atmosphere of love, acceptance, and hope.
