While strolling the Georgia Aquarium on Saturday, my lower back started really hurting me. I was seriously overdue for a chiropractic adjustment. I still am, in fact, and have an appointment Thursday. Meanwhile, as the pain got worse, I had a thought: Why am I not letting the angels adjust my back?
Really, this may seem like an "out there" concept for some people. For others, it may be a no-brainer.
Some people would say that this act would be impossible. Others, a miracle.
In my personal experience, I have had my kneecap and wrist bones physically move during Reiki sessions. When a bone snaps into alignment, it's startling, a little scary, and way, way cool.
Since I know this can be done, I was just like, "Duh. Why am I not seeking this healing? Why am I not asking right now? Why am I allowing my body to suffer in this pain?" The decision was not only easy but obvious.
How to pursue it? "Angels, can you please adjust my back?" Wait - of course they CAN. Besides, that's just a yes or no question.
"Angels, will you please adjust my back?" No, that's not correct either. I'm indicating lack. Try again.
"Angels, thank you for adjusting my back." I repeat 5-10 times not knowing what to expect. No sudden snaps, like with the Reiki. Is this going to work? Of course it's going to work! Is it working now? Am I supposed to feel something? Did I "ask" right? You get the picture.
Later that afternoon I realize, "Hey. I'm not hurting. When did that happen?" After some contemplation, I determined it was within 10 minutes of my prayer work. Very cool. While stretching that night, I notice that very few of my vertebrae are "popping" - and the ones in my lower back that always let loose are perfectly happy where they are.
I've been studying wellness for over 20 years and still forget to use some of the more obvious healing modalities from time to time. We often place too much responsibility on ourselves and don't let others provide the support that they truly want to give us - if only we let them.
It takes courage to trust others, which is what this boils down to. Where's yours?
Kristi, this is an excellent point. I try to remember to thank the Universe for the excellent health and prosperity I am already experiencing whenever I get into lack mentality. It is just so easy to focus on what we perceive is not there-- I just wonder how we got programmed that way?
