Every Generous Moment Heals the Heart
by Sonia Choquette, Ph.D. |
The crown chakra serves to unite us with Source or Divine Spirit. We become
psychically injured when we become separated from our connection to God.
Spiritual healing is the act of reconnecting to our Source once again and
feeling our personal connection to the flow of Universal life force and the
Divine plan. When the crown chakra opens that healing begins as it allows our
spirit to receive the full support of the Universe.
When we connect to this
Universal life force, we not only heal but our very
presence also becomes healing to others. I witnessed a
perfect example of this quite spontaneously the other
day while waiting in the airport to pick up a friend.
The plane was delayed, the airport was extremely crowded
and everyone was feeling stressed, anxious and out of
control. You could tell that everyone was clearly cut
off from Source by their grim faces, their rude
intolerance of one another and their angry
conversations. All that is except a two-year-old baby
boy who was traveling with his mother. He was oblivious
to the fact that a problem was happening and having a
perfectly delightful time watching all the people in the
waiting area. A friendly comedic kid who must be a very
old soul, he walked from person to person as far as his
mother would let him wander, catching everyone’s eye
and then making the silliest face he could until each
one laughed. There was nothing shy or reserved about
this kid or his intentions. One by one, he’d pick his
target, get right up close and begin his antics, not
budging until he got a laugh. Just a smile wouldn’t
do. He went for the guffaw! After a few successes, he
began to gain an audience, and pretty soon he was
getting applause for his efforts. It was absolutely
hilarious. The most wonderful part was that he was
intentionally cheering up this crowd, even though he was
only a baby. And he succeeded. His energy was so alive,
so vibrant, and so unabashedly unselfconscious that
pretty soon the whole area seemed to take on a new tone.
Every one lit up. Dark looks disappeared, tight lips
eased and the general aura of the place improved
significantly. It would be absolutely accurate to say
that baby healed the entire room that night. It was
amazing and humbling to watch.
To many people, spiritual
healing sounds rather exotic, something only very holy
or evolved people can do. The truth is spiritual healing
comes naturally to all of us, and is achieved every time
we open our hearts fully, speak our truth, see the
beauty in all things and desire to share this flowing
and joyful energy with those around us. One needn’t
take any specific training in order to be a healing
force in this world. It only takes a generous heart and
a willingness to share it with others. It doesn’t take
power or money or even time to be a generous and loving
force in the world. It just takes the desire to make the
world a little brighter with your heart.
One of the most touching and
healing moments of my life occurred spontaneously and
continues to have a lasting effect on my heart to this
day. I had just finished teaching a workshop in Athens
where I had addressed the most open hearted and
appreciative audience I believe I’ve ever had. After
the talk, I was saying goodbye to the people one at a
time when a very beautiful young woman came up to me.
She said, "Thank you so much for sharing your heart
with me. I love you so much for your inspiring words. I
very much want to give you something to take into your
heart, but I am not able to offer you a worthy present.
Would you mind if I sang you an old Greek love ballad as
an act of appreciation?"
Of course I said I would love
it. Completely taken by her clear and pure intention, I
sat and listened as she sang me a soulful song in the
most beautiful voice I could ever imagine. The entire
experience gave me goose bumps and made me cry. Her
tones touched the core of my spirit and healed all the
rough edges and fragile places in my heart in an
instant. It was like salve on wounds I didn’t even
know I had. The combination of her voice, her open
heart, and her intention to heal me affected me
profoundly. To this day I am certain that Heaven sent an
angel to sing to me. It warms me all over again just to
remember it.
No matter who is doing the
healing, whether it is a master Reiki master, a Greek
angel, or a two-year-old baby, the essence that heals is
the same. The healing force is love, offered from the
highest intention, and founded on the truth that under
it all, as spiritual beings, we are all one at heart.
Knowing this you too can become a healer and may have
already served God as an agent of healing energy. You’ve
done this every time you laughed something off instead
of going ballistic. You’ve done it when you’ve
shared what you love most with others, you’ve done
this when you’ve offered a kind word or given freely
of yourself when it was difficult to do. You’ve healed
when you’ve restored the confidence of others,
believed in their worth even when he they doubted
themselves, and kept your intention to care for them
steady and strong. I believe we all have a lot more
"heal" in us than we do "heel." I
believe our crown chakras are more expansive than we
recognize. I believe pain is so familiar that when we
slip out of it, we have a feeling of fear and unease
just because peace is so unfamiliar. But if we would
only trust our magnificence when our crown chakra does
shine, it would shine even brighter in our lives.
