Hildegarde of Bingham’s concept that God arranged everything in consideration of everything else and our understanding of the interconnectedness of all things makes everything either a healer or destroyer. My part time job can be quite frenetic and so when my boss says “Oh, well done” in her quiet voice to me when I have managed to handle something well, she is my healer.

When my dog nuzzles my hand if I am solemn – she is my healer and my husband is my constant healer. Hills and lakes, whose task is to heal us, surround me, and the entire plant kingdom has this role too. We can be aware of the healers in our lives and this awareness strengthens the “medication”. I believe healing lies in all things.

My family have noted a strange phenomenon with me and stones – every time they give me a crystal – something I like – an energy working in me causes it to change within days. Sometimes the colour changes, or it clears or deepens. This is so obvious that anyone can see it. Once, I took a crystal back to the geology shop where I had bought it and the owner of the shop, remembering the stone well, was astonished. I asked him, a scientist and in no way involved in healing, how this could happen. He explained that he thought that light frequencies could change stones – and that was what must have happened. Years ago a geologist simply laughed at me when I told him my crystals changed!

But of course, it IS light changing things – the light of our own auras. If I am changing crystals with my light – they are changing me too. We are interacting in healing.

Sometimes we are unaware of our healing capacities. If our own light is bright with joy and love, we can heal someone else by simply being next to them in a queue at the post office or walking past them in the street. Sometimes being an unaware healer is (unknown to us) more successful than if we try too hard to be healers. Healing is our natural, spontaneous condition when our light is bright. Trying too hard or the stresses of worrying about the details of our healing technique, dim us.

In spiritual healing not obviously “doing” anything can make a client feel nothing has been done whereas in tactile disciplines it is much easier to feel we have been changed in some way or we are getting better simply taking our drops three times a day. Spiritual healing is all about altering destructive transactional contracts in a person’s life to healing contracts where joy, happiness and a person’s natural healing capacity can flourish.

We are all born healers. We are all spiritual healers for we are locked into a weave of interconnectedness with everything else. Just by being alive, we take on our role of being a healer. We lose it when our light goes out. When we know our task is to heal with our light every moment of our lives just like mountains, lakes, rocks and stones do – then our light shines out with divine purpose – and in healing, we are healed!
