Thoughts on spiritual healing

wow you were able to sum that up much easier then I was. LOL
It's so hard, such a touchy subject (religion) with society.
 
And yes it sounds very much the same.

Hi Canscrapbook,
 
I know exactly what your talking about.  The group over here that practices calls their group "coexist".  Basically all religions and people are welcome, they actually encourage a wide diversity of religions to come, so as to open awareness.  I have noticed their practices are primarily native american, though they do incorporate things from each religion that they feel will work...such as praying.  Only reason I know about this is because my cousin is a part of this group.  Calls himself a Christian, and practices with this group.  I went to a 5 day camp with him to experience this new religion, so I know a lot of what you speak about. 
 
Although I'm Christian myself, I love exploring other belief systems.  I try to think things out through the other persons logic, but know where my heart is, sort of deal.

You're right,  I believe in bad spirits but I also believe in good spirits as well.  I have had the healings before and are comftorable with them, I don't feel myself always conecting with the spirits but I know others who do.  I just want help in way that I am conftorable with and hopping will work by going deep inside and looking.
I guess I'm not really sure how to explain it, I guess its easy to say (in my oppinion) that a healing to me is going inside yourself for meditation.  I find I am always sitting on a river bank with a nice rock beside me and a mountain in the back ground with rainbows and birds and butterflies.  I need help getting back to that spot.  If that makes any sence LOL.  Its like when you have a lot to do and you feel the wieght on your shoulders, then when you complete the task you can feel the wieght lift.  I have always been good at getting the "waste" or "dark" away but I have been feeling so discouneted lately. It's easy for me to explain it as if I need help getting back there.
But I do want to say I believe in many peoples religions and except all people in what they want to believe.  I love trying and reading other peoples religions.  But spirituality seems to stick better to me and I chose to go to a catholic school while my siblings went to a public school. 
 
I hope I don't offened people in what they believe.  I guess you could say I'm always happy for what other people believe, my best friend is very involved with her church and family and has talked to me on her views of what you have just explained yourself.  And I do believe that their could be bad things out there but only if we let them near us or invade our lives.  oh gosh I'm going off topic again :) LOL
I will take your advice :)  *smiling*  This is just easier for me to cope with then going the medication route.  If it doesn't work I will try something else.

No, it is just spirituality.  They have a church and it is called a spiritual church.  I believe it might be easier to explain if I said that is close to Native land.  At the church they very much follow how you could maybe say natives do.  We still pray to god (or your higher being which ever that might be) and the most important thing as that they love to hug a congratulate each other. To me that is so important that we treat each other with so much respect.
Just like you guys do here.  I bet we would all cry in each others arms, hug each other and give lots of high fives and star!!! I feel since I can't leave my house you guys are a great bunch to be around and SO supportive in everyway.  You couldn't ask for more :)

Canscrapbook:  Is that the "coexist" religion?

Hi canscrapbook,
 
Just be careful and if you feel uncomfortable with anything, don't let her do it. As you probably know, not all spirits are good, and the ones that aren't can masquerade as angels of light, as Satan himself does. For that reason I don't think dabbling with spirits is a good idea (the Bible warns against it).
 
So be careful!!!!

I would go for healings at the church about once a week a few years back.  I felt it gave me time to unwind and give me the chance to relaxe and reflect.  I always left on a "high" and feeling rejuvinated.  My life then got so busy that I just stopped going, funny because this is when all the panic attacks started.
The lady (who is a friend) is going to come to my house and work with me one on one (so I don't have to leave and she is going to help guide me to get me coming out again.)  She seems like she very much wants to help me.  She is one of the most kindest women I have ever met!  She goes to hospitals to help those who are sick and dieing.  She never asks for any donation, just a hug :)  I'm very lucky to have met her years ago.  I believe she also into touch with native healing.  I do believe in this because the asian and native people have been healing with very natural medicines for years and with little side effects like medication may give off.  They seem to live healthier lifestyles and so much more.
And my mom said she would come to help me as well :)  This is good since my mom and I don't get along and maybe this will help.
I will keep you posted!

Hello and welcome canscrapbook .
Cant say that i have ever tried the spirtual healing . An old friend of mine was very into it and wanted to try on me a few years ago but i was too chicken . She has since moved away . I think i might have given it a shot earlier this year when i was really desperate but can now handle things my own way .
 
I am very interested in how things go for you and would like to wish you luck with it . Anythings worth a try i think .

Hi Canscrapbook, I am curious to see how that works for you.  I have considered reiki, as I am like you not into conventional medicines and believe that there are a lot more ways that we can heal.  I do take yoga and meditate, however I find when I am meditating if I go too deep I bring myself back quickly because I panic, like what's the worse that can happen I fall asleep, but I don't I just can't let myself go that far unless I am in bed listening to meditative music and going to sleep anyway.  Good luck with the session I will send you good thoughts...I hope that it helps you.  Please update us!

As many of you know I'm new here and still trying to grasp how I got into this position.  I think a lot about how I could change what started these panic attacks, but I can't cahnge the past and I need to move forward.  I don't feel depressed, but maybe I am.
My mom and family and myself are religious, we don't always go to church, I went a lot when I was a teenager.  7 years ago my parents seperated (finaly, we all knew it was coming and kinda thought it was for the better), a few years laters my mom started going to a spiritual church-ok we thought she was off her rocker and cracked or something.  After months of bugging me to go I went and felt like it was home.  I took a course in world religions as a teen and felt that even thow I was anglican and believed in god etc. I felt like it was fullfilling me.  So back to this new church, they meditated (which I thought is important no matter what religion you are! They also don't say god a lot, they let you believe who you want.  Of course I believe in god but what if I don't want to call him/her god, what if I want to call him/her friend , guider in life, creator and so on.  Anyways I felt good there, I felt I could talk to people better there. At my ang. church ppl were stuffy, snotty and sometimes just plain rude if you were not them and to me that is not christian.
So my mom later went on to get a healing certificate as well and Raiki and chrystal healing.  I am close to some of the people in the church still and I finaly emailed one of them and asked what they would suggest.  Because I will not take med's to get me through this (I can't even take a tylanol without a fight LOL).  She is going to come to my house and do healings on me.  I thought my mom would have offered this to her own daughter but maybe she is too busy, I feel I shouldn't have to ask her for help, but maybe that is what I need, help.
So has anyone ever tried spiritual healings and finding your inerself etc.
I should note that the only reason I believe in spirits is because one lived on our house as I grew up and I could see him and he was nice and he also saved my life when my bed was on fire!  So I can say that I believe.  And I understand others do not and I am ok with that (my hubby does not and he is not christian) we just learned to except each others views.
OK I just emailed my mom and asked her to come to-hopefully she will sometimes a mothers touch is so important!  Even thow we don't always get along.
I'm sorry I jumped around a lot here, my head and fingers can just go off crazy when thoughts start racing.
Thanks:)
