Dear Friends,
I am wishing you a very special Valentine’s Day although by the time that you read this, the day will have passed. However, the heart energy that is generated by this day does not pass, it endures just as the heart energy I am sending to all of you continues. Love, when expressed in any way, is always a good thing. It is pure life force energy and the energy that heals.
Recently, a dear friend of mine sent me a video of a Baptist Minister, Mark Lowry, entitled “They Cut my Britches Off”. I am sending the link to this video at the end of this article. It is a wonderfully hysterical video and this man is hilarious. This video is this man’s story of his journey after his motorcycle accident. You can guess by the title part of what happened to him!
However, the part I wish to emphasize in this writing is when he speaks of the surgery he endured after breaking his leg in the accident. The doctors had to place cadaver bone in the bottom part of his leg which was beyond repair. In this part of his talk/routine he starts sharing about what it is like to have other people living in his body. He then proceeds to stroke his leg and stating how much he loves the people in there. Very funny stuff!! This segment of the video is about half way through and only a small piece of it but this portion stood out for me.
I have been thinking about this video quite a bit and laughing every time I remember his talk. But what strikes me as well is how ingenious this was for his “sermon” if that is what it was. In this routine, he was also showing about the importance of loving other people. And even beyond this, he was sending a tremendous amount of love to that part of his leg, which creates a wave of healing and regeneration to that part of his body every time he does this. I would not be surprised if he healed incredibly well from this incident.
Gregg Braden, one of my favorite authors, and speakers, who is also a brilliant scientist, and mystic, talks about how science has shown we have brain cells in our hearts nervous system. This is how we “KNOW” things intuitively. It is how we KNOW when another person we love is in trouble or is thinking of us. There is also much written about the energy field of our hearts extending way beyond our physical bodies connecting us with others in a very profound way.
This energy of the heart is what heals. If you have a part of your body that you do not love, or are not liking because of the way it looks, or perhaps it is damaged or injured in some way, then change this attitude if you can! Love it like Mark Lowry loves all of those people in his body. We have beings in our bodies and they are called our cells! Each cell has an infinite intelligence that responds to our words, thoughts and actions!
If you can, every morning when you awake, hold your hand to your heart and affirm, “I Know”. This will immediately connect you with your inner KNOWING. Not the brain egocentric knowing but the deep inner knowing from the heart that connects us to the universal truths of life!
This past weekend I saw Rogue One, the new Star Wars Movie. My favorite character in the movie is the blind warrior monk who verbalizes a chant over and over to focus himself. Even though he was blind, his knowing was way beyond all the other warriors around him. He was able to do things that others could not do.
This chant was, “I am one with the Force, the Force is with me”! I woke that night after seeing this movie with those words ringing in my head. The “Force” is the Universal Life Force Energy, or God as many call this energy. To me, this Force is the heart energy, the Force that emanates out from our hearts when we express love in its purest most neutral form. It is the Force that flows out from us when we send love out towards ourselves or another person in need. It is this Force where miracles reside.
Remember this, when you or someone you love is hurting, injured or sick. Remember YOU are the Force, it is within you! Touch your heart, and send this Force, this pure love, to the part that is hurting and KNOW that you KNOW that healing can happen in an instant.
This is my wish for you dear friends. May you KNOW this kind of love and may you KNOW the Force is with you and in you every moment of every day!!
Namaste,
Rosemary Veilleux
