Vision of Healing Service: Healing Symbols Cont.

Vision of Healing Service

 Intention: We all seek to live our lives in harmony and resonance with the world around us. To achieve this delicate balance within our modern condition is exceedingly difficult and complex. Humans, like the natural world around us, contain an internal balancing system. This balancing system is an essential component to all living systems and can also be called the Healing System.  Ancient cultures respected the delicate healing system contained within the natural world. They created elaborate rituals and celebrated each day as a way of honoring and maintaining the fragile balance that they observed all around them.  They marveled at their ability to interact and co-create their own reality within this harmonious matrix.   They frequently gave thanks and offerings to a benevolent creator who positively supported their existence.  This model of a benevolent universe that is harmonically constructed and is an embodiment of consciousness itself is not unique to ancient cultures.

 

Like many people my first experiences of this incredibly intertwined, delicate, and living tapestry, that is the very fabric of existence, came as the result of a personal journey of self-discovery. It did not come as a result of any traditional values imposed upon me during my childhood or through any voluntary cultural participation in an organized religion or other institution.  In fact, only by breaking free from many of the limiting cultural traditions and expectations did I become aware of a deeper and more personal connection with the natural and supernatural worlds. I feel that this vision must become more than a personal perception or even a personal discovery. Like ancient cultures before us, this vision must be integrated and combined within our modern cultural field or shared belief system. 

What I had caught a glimpse of through my own inner journey can be called the Divine Matrix or sacred order of reality. It is this same divine matrix that I experienced so strongly during my 4 years at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing (BBSH) and it is this very matrix that supported me in my journey of becoming a Healer. As a healer I seek to be a reflection of this sacred order and to serve others on their path to health and happiness. The very definition of a “Healer” to me is someone who is in harmony and balance with the world around them.  It is only through this awareness of our connection to all forms of life that we begin to embody the qualities of healing; harmony, balance, presence, peace, inner calm, truthfulness and centeredness, among others.

Healing Symbols:Part 1

My service project combines Healing Symbols, Kundalini Yoga and Numerology, with the BBSH Healing and PD Skills. The purpose of my paper is to activate layers of deep cellular memory in the reader.  To awaken a primal knowledge that is as old and wise as time itself.

 This paper is a direct link to the rich source of intuitive knowledge that has existed through all time and space. This knowledge will always be available to those who have earned and been granted access to it. It is a manifestation of the “Golden Chain”, an invincible link, connecting teacher to student, which has overcome the innumerable tests of time and space. It is made available out of the infinite kindness and compassion of the enduring wisdom traditions. Infinite names and forms have described it and yet it has no name or form. It can never be defined or measured yet it is the source of all definition and measurement.  To the ancient Mayans it was called “Hunab Ku” or The One Giver of Movement and Measure.

 Hunab Ku:

Central to the Mayan outlook was the concept of Harmonic Resonance. Hunab Ku represents the Galactic core. It is the knowledge and understanding which passes through this opening in the galactic center, at certain times and intervals, which acts as an initiatory impulse in the hearts and minds of men who have ears to heed the call.

 According to the Mayans, Hopis, and many other indigenous cultures, we are currently in the midst of a great transition in consciousness. In other words humanity is in a process of waking up from a deep slumber that has gone on for thousands of years. This new Age is called the Age of Itza --Age of Consciousness according to the Mayan Elders.

 My spiritual teacher, Siri Singh Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa (Yogi Bhajan) and many others, have called this cusp period the dawning of the Aquarian Age. It is on the winter solstice of December 21, 2012 that our planet will align with the gateway of the galaxies, the Hunab Ku, and a new ray of energy and movement will begin to enter our solar system from this center.  It is during this cusp period that the majority of us at BBSH have begun our journey as healers.  As the Confucian Curse so ironically states, “May you be blessed to live in uninteresting times.” There is not one human being among us who has not incarnated into these “interesting times” without a reason and a purpose.  My prayer is that this service project may help to awaken the enlightened seed of that purpose in one or more sentient beings.

Healing Symbols: A guide to understanding time and other paradoxes

At the request of many friends, peers, colleagues, family members and individuals in my community I will begin posting my service project which I created for my final project at BBSH. It was truly a blessing to be given the opportunity to concretely focus my attention and vision for my healing service, which became quite clear through writing this paper. I am so grateful for the experience of presenting this paper to my fellow classmates and friends at BBSH. 
That was truly an amazing experience! I am also appreciative of the priceless gifts of essence and creativity which have manifested as a result of embarking on a healing journey and uncovering my purpose and vision of service which is reflected in this work. I present this with the goal of sharing my love, passion, and creativity as a reminder and impetus for others to look deep into their hearts and souls and see the precious jewels that are waiting to be polished and revealed. I believe it is each individual's destiny to uncover their unique purpose, longing and essence. As it is revealed, it becomes our obligation to share these gifts with others so that we may receive the joys of recognition (re-cognition).  This may come about (as it did for me) through a uniting of ancient and modern wisdom, a rediscovery of one's childhood dreams, or merely through  a deep and profound transformation that cannot be expressed through words. 
Finally I am grateful for the impeccable guidance and wisdom that I received through every step of the way. The messages were revealed through natural and mysterious sources both day and night. I heard the voices of the wind, sun, and moon whispering to me to remember who I was and what I was here to bring forth.  Thank you, I love you, In Lak'ech.
