How to Heal Other People

Extending healing to others is a major focus in the pages of the Course. It is discussed in many sections in the Text and the Manual for Teachers and is the focus of a chapter in The Song of Prayer supplement. All this emphasis makes sense, given the great need that people have to receive healing and the deep need that many of us have to give it. In this podcast, Robert and Emily discuss the place of healing in the Course, the role of medicine, how exactly to give healing, the unhealed healer, and more.

I loved the diagram. When it said to focus on the face of Christ, I was remined of something that came to me recently while studying the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." I used to think that mean once I had a pure enough heart I would see God. But it came to me that another meaning of that verse is that when see others with a pure heart, seeing past their bodies and their ego, that we will see God in them. When we see others with a pure heart, we see them with love; no judging, comparing, condemning, shaming or blaming, we just love them and can see the divinity within them, and their connection to ourselves.

[@valeriesnyder2157]

In my case I was shown the hands of God opened and reaching down towards me along with the doors to the kingdom and the key . It was all within me as Jesus told us , it was in a vision which came from my third eye. Just thought I’d share my own experience, everything happened within.

Exchange thoughts of “I’m separate, I’m sinful, “I’m guilty” with thoughts of “I’m connected, I’m pure, I’m innocent.”

[@user-lq3dj3eo8k]

I was a Christian Scientist, no one ever told me to stop taking medicine, or to take medicine. This is a personal and private decision. I just thought I would clarify some comments made in the video. Thank you for another great lesson.

Hi Emily and Robert Perry i was addicted to a certain medication for over 20 years , there was a mix up with my script which I call a blessing in disguise, as I was going thru the dark night of the soul , I came across your podcast and listened for a week , the love that came between you both truly inspired me and gave me hope , what I am supposed to wein off for 6 months only took me a week and a half, I cannot thankyou both enough , you two have healed me , thankyou ❤ 🙏🙏🙏

I have the best pair of orange cats who have taught me completely that love is real. I have never seen so much love coming out of two beings before...moreso than in any human relationship I've ever had. And it is a relationship with no words whatsoever.

[@albertkamphuis6038]

i love to hear you talking so lovely. I - personally - would never advise to not take pills nor to take pills. Everyone is able to recognize for themselves about walking THEIR path guided by the Holy Spirit. For me I believe that the Christ healing power/energy is still the same as it always was. The course came on my path 24 years ago and is still a huge teacher and inspiration. Love you both (and all who reads this) so much. Happy New Year Happy New Life...

[@frankbrancatisano217]

We heal one another and in this world thru forgiveness

[@Leaving_TheMatrix]

Because we are still identified with our bodies, the course can be read through the ego lens as well, who will soften the teachings to preserve itself. It's told in the course that taking medicines is magic, the lesser evil, and it should be done as long as the mind is fearful of true healing.

[@martinwagner7361]

Essentially what she says at 11:00 that we are already sick when we arrive here in a body....boils very much down to the concept of "original sin" of Christianity...Just a bit of different Wording....and the emphasis to not just reinforce the guilt of Ego but to take RESPONSIBILITY through APPLYING unconditional Forgiveness & Love... But essentially Christianity and ACIM in the rather grim Outlook on the prebirth Condition are way closer than I really realized in my first Decade with the Course and a lot of Defenses still in place then... Actually the Course essentially says with looking at the Ego that we are ALREADY IN HELL down here - no need to wait for it at the end of Life..... There's no doubt in my mind that eventually EVERYONE will apply the Courses Teaching - simply because eventually the inevitable PAIN of holding on to Ego and thus resisting Love & Forgiveness becomes unbearable.... Or as the Course says : Free Will does NOT mean that you could somehow escape the Lessons but solely can choose at what time and after/with what Level of pain, suffering till that you WILL apply the Lessons...😋 And that INDEED is true, I hope nobody has any Illusions in that...🤗 😄😄😋

[@Tachyon111]

Thank you for so many answers!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💓

Can you take the pill without guilt? Can you take the pill in awareness of the guilt? Can you laugh at your insanity for taking this seriously? Learn to laugh at your hilarious misthoughts and know it never happened and it’s not happening now . Dreams are for awakening from a deep slumber . Be gentle and have fun as often as possible. I am a healer and I thank you for your tips 🙏❤️

[@gloriahallelujah1118]

53:21 The healing already happened, there is no 2000 years ago. we shouldn’t try if we believe we are not there yet, she says, “we’re not there yet” and then he says “ of course” No it’s a course in miracles now not then . Helllloooooo ???

This is so fascinating! I’m an acupuncturist and shamanic energy healer. I’m attracted to The Course but it’s been hard for me to progress just reading it on my own. Thanks for all the content here, providing the main messages in a clear and distinct way. Of course I’m curious how to help people heal on the deepest of levels and will be incorporating these techniques right away! ❤

@@BrandyFalcon Your role is to see everyone as the Christ that they are and look beyond the body to the great truth of our being.

[@sueemmel9109]

Question: are we really “getting older”? Or is it that the accumulation of negative thoughts is getting older? If we find ourselves thinking, “Same ol’, same ol’”, we might do better to hear our thoughts and redirect them if they don’t reflect to our true reality.

[@CircleOfAtonement]

Hi Sue! The Course does suggest that our body can be incorruptible if our thoughts are purely loving, but I’ve never seen anyone get there. Everyone gets old. So in addition to cultivating loving thoughts, I think we should focus on not identifying with aging while it inevitably happens.

We have videos on that chapter in our Course Companions program if you're interested. See: coursecompanions.com They would be in the archived class recordings - although we're just about to get to chapter 2 in our weekly Text classes now. We go through the book in sequence each year. 💟

[@kellybarnett7578]

Whats the purpose of all the pain and suffering? We arrive sick? Everything is sick. I think that is sick. God is all knowing and couldnt do better? Im pissed

[@Aetherfield]

While hard to embrace when we are suffering so, the answer to why we are born “sick” is that we have accepted a world or personal view that others have brought harm on to us. Pain, blame, and be-lie-ve’ that others, including God, have put us in harms way is the a cause for sickness. When we reject that view, by studying with Holy Spirit, grace is shed upon us as we realize that forgiveness of ourselves and others is where true healing takes place. For me, even believing that medicine can cure, is but another false-belief. A reduction in symptoms is only temporary until the psyche/soul adopts true healing in the form of pervasive love of all. We will see the beauty again, only when our guilt is lifted by seeing that our wrong-minded resentments held a shield of sickness upon us.

[@Gellerman55]

I didn't hear anyone say that a person might not be healed because it is in his soul contract to be ill. Did I just miss that?

[@CircleOfAtonement]

Hiya! The Course doesn't talk about soul contracts per se. Its view is that we come into these lives with a lot of accumulated ancient hate that blends with our current lovelessness and that makes us feel guilty which in turn makes us sick.

[@brianmaguire8254]

Absolutely the egoic mind attachments & resistances creates illness, but getting sick has alot to do with nutrition--- lack of knowledge & self sabatage.. Deficiencies & environmental toxicity are at the root of chronic disease stemming from mindset

[@Leaving_TheMatrix]

Nutrition is another false cause and effect, as ACIM teaches. It's the ego law not created by God and therefore invalid.

You mention to take your medicine. However conventional medicine with toxic drugs and all their side effects have nothing to do with health but worsening of our health. I understand conventional medicine is only good for emergencies but no drugs have ever cured any diseases. People who keep taking drugs with all their side effects realize they get sicker and not better. When they change to natural medicine they will see their health improve. Of course we need to heal body, mind and spirit as well.

[@Leaving_TheMatrix]

ACIM teaches that ALL medicine, be it allopathic or natural, is magic, and that we will only permanently heal through Atonement.

[@Aetherfield]

Yes, and theoretical science is not discussed in ACIM because it is indoctrinated opinion by those who control the political, medical & educational system. Not to mention that the bible has likely been wiped of these ACIM teachings for elitist interests, not ours’.
