IMO the emphasis should not be on diminishing pain. That would be attempting
to
eradicate the effect. You cant succeed. I suggested earlier that intention
is everything
and this is a clear example. If the intent of the "healer" (in inverted
commas) is to eradicate
pain because they believe it is an unecessary evil or whatever, they wont
win.
Pain is a good thing and a natural phenomena. Having a baby, new life
follows unbelievable
pain. I dont speak from expeience but by all accounts its kinda painful.
Focus on bringing the
light through instead of resisting ther pain and gift follows.
IMO the healer is facilitating this process. Encouraging surrender so that
the light can follow the pain.
So that the gifts can manifest.
The pain of a Kundalini awakening can be immense. Resist and thepain
intensifies. Focus on the pain and
it expands. Surrender and the gifts of increased awareness and a closer
relationship with all that is transpires.
The fog clears. K awakening is the healing process in action. Sometimes
facilitated by a healer who has been
through the process and can therefore offer support.
Leaves will continue to fall from trees; people will always war, new
diseases will appear
to replace those we've cured and people will always die. Its the natural
order on this plane.
So the question then becomes, what can we do, if anything? And why?
IMO the intention should be to increase light by shining ours. By being
truthful, honest,
kind and loving we heal and our light shines brighter. We become masters of
our inner lives and the
external 'effects' lose their power over us. We become empowered.

IMO the spiritual significance of everything is paramount and healing more
so than most.
We are spiritual beings on a physical journey. Everything from eating our
breakfast to sexual relations
has spiritual significance and impact. Everything physical/material is
transitory, diminishes and dies eventually,
without exception. All that is left is spirit. Therefore lets look for the
spiritual significance in everything
from the sacred to the mundane because that is where the truth is.

You're not wrong.

But they might die believing in a higher power than themsleves. They might
die enlightened, aware of the
illusion of duality. It might even make the journey from the physical to the
spiritual less of a shock and
a smooth transition as they pass with a greater sense of truth.

It would be futile to try. That is the beauty of surrender. Healing is
surrender. Surrender resistance and light pours
in. Its easy to demonstrate. This is not happy clappy stuff Im talking
about, it is logical, practical and down to earth.
Say for example you're having an argument with someone on the phone, things
are really tense and the resistance is
high. Everyone wants to be right and no one will back down. You put the
phone down and you have a choice. You
can throw plates, kick the dog and beat up the Mrs or you can surrender, get
off it, take a deep long breath and sigh
as you breathe out. Anger and frustrtation is replaced by calm and peace.
Pain is replaced by light.
IMO
Love&Light
