The healing
angels have always enjoyed working with the ones known as Shamans, who act as intermediaries
between humanity and nonphysical beings. Remember, the Shamans were the priests
of the early nature-centered religions, who often used drums to communicate
with the spiritual world. Shamans still exist in some parts of the world,
healing those who believe in their abilities. The Shamans understand the
relationship between body and spirit, and how diseases of the body are actually
symptoms of a sick soul. The human soul is sick because it has lost its
connection with its source: Divine Love. Shamans visit the spiritual world in
dreams or visions. In that state a Shaman’s soul can communicate easily with
the angels of healing and nature spirits who show him just what a diseased soul
needs to be made balanced and whole. When the soul is re-connected to Divine
Love, and its masculine and feminine aspects are in harmony, the body is
restored to good health.
The healing angels recognize that most
people of the physical world look down their noses at Shamans, who they
consider to be primitive in their approach to healing. After all, if they have
been doing things the same way for thousands of years, they must be pretty
backward! And Shamans don’t attend medical school or base their procedures on
scientific studies. In the Western world, there is little
awareness of the divine guidance received by those who heal the sick.
Medical
professionals and their patients tend to see both the illness and the cure as
purely physical phenomena. And while Western doctors have given little credence
to those healing methods that amplify and direct the invisible life-force
energy, such as acupuncture, Reiki, and Quantum-Touch, the divine beings who
teach these modalities recognize that they also address the human condition as
if it were separate from its divine source.
When someone visits a practitioner of energy healing, the patient
believes that the healer channels energy from a separate divine source. As long
as humans live outside of the Law of Oneness they will suffer from illnesses
that can only be healed by outside forces. So our divine helpers meet us where we are, continuously
revealing new healing styles and cures with which people can treat each other.

Once in
a while the healing angels do find an individual who understands that real
health and wholeness result when they remember their Oneness with
Creation. Raphael and his healing team
were particularly successful in their work with two women: Mary Baker Eddy, who
established The Church of Christ, Scientist in 1879, and Myrtle Fillmore, who
with her husband, Charles Fillmore, founded The Unity Society of Practical Christianity between
1889 and 1903.
Both Mary and Myrtle dealt with poor health for much of their
lives, and when medical science failed to cure them, the healing angels led
them to investigate the way to divine healing. Both women studied the Bible in
an attempt to understand how ordinary people could heal in the way that Jesus
did. The angels opened their inner eyes and deepened their understanding beyond
the teachings of the traditional churches. They realized that Jesus offered
himself as an example of what all children of Love can achieve when we remember
that we are One with our divine parent, just as Jesus was. Mary and Myrtle both
healed themselves with prayer and taught others to do the same.
When
Jesus healed ailing individuals he liked to point out that it was their faith that
made them well. These people had faith in Jesus’ power to heal them. Followers
of Christian Science have faith in the healing power of divine
Mind. They acknowledge and affirm the spiritual power of divine Love and the
natural state of the human body as perfection, according to Scripture’s
declaration: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect." Students of the Unity School of Christianity have faith that the power of God is
continually blessing their lives with unlimited possibilities, including
perfect health. They base their method
of affirmative prayer on Jesus’ words: “So I tell you, whatever you ask
for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark
11:24).
Every form of healing requires a measure of faith from
the patient. Some people have faith in doctors and medicines. Some have faith
in acupuncture, chiropractic, or CranioSacral Therapy. Others have faith in
Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, or Reconnective Healing. Love’s agents don’t really
care which method evokes faith in those who need healing. To have faith at all
is to recognize that the human body was created to be whole and perfect. Sometimes
there is no cure and no amount of faith that can heal the body, because the
shell that separates one’s soul from its divine Source is just too thick.
“But with each passing century, more people are
recognizing their oneness with Divine Love and wholeness,” Raphael says to his
flock of healing angels. “Someday our vocation as healing agents will be
obsolete and we’ll have to look for something else to do!”
“That would be fine with me,” Ariel responds. “There will
always be more beauty to create and enjoy in this wonderful universe of love
and light.”
