Healing Journeys

This article is about two different types of healing journeys. One is the journey to see John of God (Joao de Deus) in Brazil like Juli just led. The other is the journey within, searching deep inside for answers that lead to spiritual freedom, i.e.; the work we do at the Center. Each complements the other and has offered greater awareness and insight than either by itself for me.

Amazing healing took place in Brazil, for me and for many, many others who traveled to the Casa de Dom Inácio in Abadiânia. But I truly believe that the healing was much more encompassing because of the journey within that I have been taking at the Center. The awareness, the tools, the healings, the readings and the service have all helped to focus the healing that I received in Brazil. The healing energies of the Casa and the entire experience of being in Brazil have helped my journey within now that we are back at the Center.

When we set the energy at the Center in Santa Fe at a “spiritual sanctuary” vibration (a continual process) we are creating our own “mini” Casa, where one is safe to explore themselves on their path to spiritual freedom. In Brazil, the Casa remains a spiritual sanctuary whether Medium João is present or not. The spirits that assist the healing work are always there and the love and the healing energy of the Casa always available. When the Casa is in session, people from all over the world come to receive healings or are there to offer their energies in support of the healing processes. Their love and belief are added to the already powerful energy and miracles occur.

One need not go to Brazil to experience miracles, however. I see it daily at the Center, in classes, at healing clinic, in readings and at workshops and services. People find insights into themselves and they heal, their energies begin to move after long periods of stagnation and they clear pictures that have kept them trapped. These are no small miracles. Anything that one can do to set themselves on their path to spiritual freedom is a blessing. Sometimes the first steps are the hardest when your awareness tells you that you need “something” not even being sure what “that” is. Going to Brazil and seeing John of God is a life changing experience that I would recommend to anyone. But more important than any trip to somewhere else is the importance of going within and giving yourself the gift of love.
