You Are A Healer
by Linda White Dove

A healer does not heal with their hands, their mind nor with a
specific technique. A healer heals with their heart. There are many
healing modalities that a person can use to improve their lives and
their health. None is more powerful than love.

If you were to learn many of these techniques you would find that
love is a pattern that weaves itself through all healing. It is a
constant. This is because healing comes from understanding and
living all that you are. And at your core, you are made of love.
There is a difference between understanding that you are love and
living it. This is known as the 13 inch journey, the journey for the
realization to travel from you mind, where you understand it
intellectually, to your heart where you feel and live it. When this
happens you will know. There is no mistaking the experience.

Many people find that they experience this feeling (actually a way
of being) for a while and then it disappears, leaving them feeling
sad or disappointed. Indeed, there is a big difference in how a
person experiences life from the love awareness as opposed to when
the feeling subsides. This subsiding is a gift. It teaches that you
have a choice between living in love and living in fear.

Living in love is where healing takes place. The key is not how long
you can stay in love but that you realize when you have fallen out
of it. Then the decision to go back to love or not is yours. And
here is where the personal issues start coming up. Sometimes it
seems easier or more justified to be angry, hurt, depressed or
whatever. Some people will bury this realization in food, compulsive
spending, over working, alcohol, unhealthy relationships or in some
other way. I believe that denying who you are, denying what many
people call the "I Am" is at the root of all illness be it physical,
mental or spiritual. And love is the healer.

You already possess within you all that is needed for perfect
health. It is simply a matter of peeling back the layers and having
the courage to look inside. You will find inside a light so bright
and beautiful that you may be frightened at first by its power and
love. You may feel undeserving or uncertain about the
responsibility of being this light. It may help you to realize that
this is who you already are. Inside, every person has the same light
and uncovering it is what healing is all about. All is love.
