Principles of Healing Parts One & Two – we can tune into the right energy to heal ourselves and others.

Part One explains willpower as one of the determining factors in healing.

The energy coming to us for healing does not originate from ourselves, it comes through God’s grace. The divine energy that surrounds the body can be drawn upon at will.

Part Two is about refining your ability to decide how to proceed with healing. When the emotions are cleared out of the way you can better decide. Learn to be aware if your emotions are influencing the energy. You might feel a slight tension if it is influenced by the emotions. If the feeling is free and joyful without emotional influence you an learn to trust that. Your own experience will be your guide.

Refuse to think about things as problems, and be determined to find solutions.

Interiorize Your Mind – control the reactive process, dive deep in meditation and act with calmness and detachment.

Feed the inner fires of compassion in meditation, and to practice compassion in our daily lives by giving and doing things for others.

You are a child of God. Interiorization of the mind will reveal this.

A temptation of meditation is to become overly self-involved, and be aloof to the challenges of others.

The Art of Intuitive Teaching – let inspiration flow. Take time to learn the techniques and later relax while doing it.

There are certain things we need to learn that seem like drudgery but try to make learning these things fun.

When teaching intuitively have an objective outlook and be committed to the truth, not mere opinions.

People admire teachers who can admit they are wrong.

When you teach – offer, don’t dictate.

Ask God to give you inspiration. The more you bring God into the picture, the more you don’t have to worry. The practical, conscious mind can tell you “Oh, I’ve got to think about all these details because if I don’t, who will?” God doesn’t have to think of the details, he just gives you the answers!

Receptivity – be dynamic in your self-offering and gratitude to God no matter what He gives you. You can’t be passive and ask for a different outcome. You need to accept whatever is given. Say ‘God I give it all to you.’

Everything that comes to us is God’s grace.

If what we’re given causes us pain, accepting it as God’s gift allows us to grow spiritually, and our receptivity increases.

Be with people who bring you joy.

We don’t create our truths, we receive them.

Humility – Swami Kriyananda explains that the power to accomplish anything comes from the Divine and how to draw on this power.

When someone complimented Yogananda on his humility, he replied, “How
can there be humility when there is no consciousness of self?”
In our quest to become one with God we must transcend the
thought that we are separate from God. Bring God into everything.

When negative thoughts come, the antidote is to bring them into the Light.

Yogananda said, “You can’t get rid of darkness in a room by beating at it with a stick, you have to turn the light on.”

When we look at the negative side long enough, we ourselves take on negative qualities. When we concentrate on the good, we take on goodness.”
