Great reminder, because those imaginary obstacles have a way of feeling oh so real!

I think, so many times we try to "protect" people from the disappointment of failing by softening the blow for them. In reality, I'm sure she has enough people telling her that her age/circumstances/health are going to make her decline and it's just "natural". And in reality, she has probably been telling herself that as well because that is what we hear all the time. Helping her see healing, helping her visualize that success, and helping her emotions to follow suit is a wonderful way of moving her towards that goal. Most patients look to their doctors for reassurance that everything is going to be ok and most doctors are afraid that giving hope is leading them down a path sure to lead to an inevitable let-down. "I need to cover my ass so people don't accuse me of giving false hope". But what I'm starting to learn is that just because so many believe that healing the body is all physical doesn't mean it is completely true. We don't get healing from external sources. I am beginning to understand that internal healing requires internal healing - that the mind is just much (if not more) responsible for our healing as the body is. AND there is so much more that we don't know exact details of in spiritual healing, energetic healing, and healing from the divine sources. Manifestation is real. The exact mechanism may be up for debate, but regardless of the "how", there is an abundance of evidence in every day "miracles" to convince me.

So VERY much this. Over the past decade or so I have seen so much evidence of this. It has also taken me a long time to understand it as it is. I still have trouble wrapping my mind around it completely and I struggle so much with remembering this while my brain tells me how many years I've been on this earth and how i should feel because of it, or how my genetics should dictate how my health should be right now. It's hard to get out of the external mindset - that things happen TO us, that the power over our own bodies comes from external forces, that we need external stimuli to correct our own imperfect bodies. We forget that the cells in our bodies are constantly renewing themselves and if we let them they can repair so much.

Dude!! I tried this technique tonight (switch off the muscle at the shoulder) on my son who is very skeptical of energy healing and such and it worked. I was able to switch off the muscle of his shoulder and switch it back on again. He had the strangest look on his face when it was happening.

These are interesting. I'm hoping you'll be showing us more about how to use these.
