IS THE RIGHT PERSON GETTING TREATED?
by Mark McFeely, Natural Healer. (694 words)

Sharon brought her little daughter (3) to see me. She was covered from head to foot with eczema, a pathetic sight, bleeding in many areas from constantly scratching her itching skin.
The moment I laid my hands on her tiny body, I felt that this condition had very little to do with her and could disappear very quickly. In fact, I knew that she was not the person I should be working on.
I treated her for about 30 minutes, simply to nourish her. Then I turned to her mother and told her that she was the one who really needed to come and see me. I suggested that she take Sara home, get a baby-sitter, and return to my office that afternoon. She was in her early thirties, very attractive and vivacious. Her husband, a military helicopter pilot, had been killed in action 2 years earlier. She had recently found a new man and was torn between what she wanted and what would be the proper thing to do. She was also concerned about what would be best for her daughter.
Living on the Air-Force base, she was constantly being reminded that she was a war widow. It was as though she was being locked into a personality, whether she liked it or not. She felt that she was not allowed to have a life of her own, but was being compelled to live in the shadow of her late husband's memory.
During our session, she got clear that it was all right to have what she wanted, and that her feelings were not wrong. I helped her to release the shock and the grief that she had been storing in her body since her husband's tragic death, and start to move for her own life. After two sessions with me she announced that Sara's eczema had cleared up completely. Once she was free of her own issues, her little girl let go of her condition.
Often with problems in little children, I look to the parents. The one the child has the strongest bond with usually needs to resolve his or her own issues. Then the child usually recovers, without the need for any treatment.
Children under the age of 5 or so, rely more on intuitive communication, as their thinking process does not seem to kick in before then. They are very sensitive to their parents and hate to see them suffer. So, if Mummy is experiencing intense feelings, the child will draw the attention by creating a drama, or crisis, often hurting themselves in the process. Anything to change the feeling in Mummy's gut. They also relate to the father in this way, but tend to have more with the mother.
If Mummy and Daddy are being "nice" to each other, when really they are feeling a lot and not expressing it, the child will go crazy, throwing tantrums, etc. But, if they are yelling at each other, and it's real, the child will play quite happily in the corner, without a bother in the world. When the child asks, "Are you all right Mummy?" and she replies, "I love you honey". The child does not doubt that Mummy loves her, but has the feeling that Mummy is lying to her, because she is in touch with Mummy's pain. This causes the child to feel insecure. When Mummy says," I'm unhappy because we're broke", or "Daddy and I are not getting on well", the child can handle that. It is not necessarily that the child understands, but when the verbal expression matches the feeling Mummy is giving out, the child is secured.
Taking care and responsibility for what goes on in your own life does have an effect on your children's health. If your child is constantly having problems, perhaps you should be looking at your issues. I still like to treat children, because they can always use the nourishment of a healing touch, and sometimes they do really have conditions that have nothing to do with their parents.

HEALING as ABSOLUTION,
or ABSOLUTION as HEALING?

About a year ago I had an insight, which may or may not be accurate but it really got my attention.
I was pondering the parable of the 10 lepers, and how I was taught it in Catholic Ireland. The implication was that the nine who did bot return were ungrateful, while the one who came back to protest his gratitude was to be admired.

My thought was this; what if the nine who did not return were so deeply and completely healed that they lost any awareness of ever being lepers, totally ‘absolved’ (I am looking for a better word) of any intelligence relating to the condition, or any other identification with the disease? Could it be that they actually went on about their lives, free of being lepers and moved out of the area to begin a new life without their local history or reputation? It. Is also possible that because they were as lepers, outcast, declared unclean and therefore obliged to move to another city to start over with their new “Clean” identity.

I often have a conversation with clients around the possibility of a miraculous remission, and if that was possible, who would they be the next day. I ask them to consider that their whole identity, energetic focus and daily routines might suddenly become redundant, and would they be able to step into the new identity of a “whole Person’, which is what I imagine many of those who encountered the healing presence and touch of Jesus might have experienced.

"If I thought that your healing was really going to work,
I would never have let you do it".

You may find it hard to believe, but I have been told this quite a few times over my lifetime.

Think it through before you approach healing.
How attached or invested are you in the condition and circumstances that have dominated your life, for so long?
Are you ready for the life altering changes that come with letting it go?

To CHANGE,¬ you have to CHANGE. by Mark McFeely, Bodymind Transformation Consultant
Are you really ready for change? Do you have any idea what might be involved? Are you willing to go all the way with others in your and their changes?

We can easily watch Star Trek and accept the mutants, but are we willing to mutate, or transform in this lifetime? We are aspiring to greater levels of human development, and part of the next step for humanity may be to change physically. Imagine if someone you knew sprouted a new organ or limb on their forehead. Perhaps this new organ is an antenna, vital to a greater telepathic communication. How would we react ? Would our first thought be of a tumor? Would the healers try to heal it? Would the doctors do a biopsy?

I can imagine all kinds of fear breaking out. There would probably be a panic among friends and family. Some would say that it was a warning from God or the Universe. Others would be trying to find some way of identifying or labeling it. Straight back into the available bank of KNOWLEDGE, in search of security, or re-assurance.

There is still a very strong tendency to treat unfamiliar things as potential problems, directing our energy and attention to solving them. Perhaps we should take the view that they are opportunities for expansion, and even a part of our evolution. The difference for us would be in running with the changes, rather than resisting.

You cannot change without doing something different. A friend of mine puts it very succinctly in his statement "To change, you have to change". Yes, we can all laugh at the obvious. But, are we going to act on it? It is so easy to say "Look at me. I am changing", when all we are doing is re-arranging our patterns in a new order. Real change is when we introduce something completely new into our living, which stretches us beyond our comfort zones.

Imagine allowing another to make love to you, rather than you being the one in control. On the surface, it sounds wonderful, but in reality, it is one of the hardest things to do. We have this need to respond, which is really our need to stay in control. Try it some time, and see for yourself.

Similarly, open yourself to others for a touch, that you might go through a metamorphic change in an instant. It is not that we are not given to enough, but that we do not receive. What we give to each other is enough to propel any one of us through quantum changes. What holds us back is all the filtering, and resisting.

We are talking about evolving on our two feet, but are we willing to change, and quickly? It is easy to hold a vague idea of change out there in the foggy future. That is still in the realm of the messiahs, heaven, or ‘never-never’ land.

Are we willing to empower each other now? The real change is in allowing another person give to us, on their terms. When our partner moves or speaks in a new way our insecurity shows up. If someone you know should move in a new way, are you ready to respond and move with that one? The quickest route to enlightenment, personal expansion, and the oneness of humanity is to let go of my protection, and let you in.

We have looked to the stars, the gods, the animals. In fact, we have looked everywhere except to each other. The answer my friend is in another human being. When we get off our individual, self-centered paths, and start to make each other more important than our personal development and enlightenment, we will see a quantum change take place in the people around us.

Throughout history it has been easier to kill someone than to change one's mind. Most wars have been fought to maintain the old order. Even the New Age is growing old. We need always to move into a newer age. Resistance is the greatest cause of death and disease. The real change for humanity is to end the split between people. Start with ending the war in your own heart, and at the table, in your home. End the separation in your own body, and it will end on the planet.

When the separation between individuals is ended, the separation between races, religions, governments, ideologies, etc will be over. Then the world can, and will be one.

WHAT ABOUT THE SOFTWARE THAT RUNS YOU & YOUR LIFE?
By Mark McFeely.

Just as you may be aware that there are computer viruses that attack and render software useless, or can even be destructive to the device, there is a similar phenomenon that takes place in the human being. It was thought that the mind was in the head, but scientists can now verify that the body is mind all over. This is what I call the BodyMind, which is where the human equivalent of software is stored.
Whether you are conscious of it, or not, this software, or ‘Information System’ which virtually runs our lives, is altered and adapted by beliefs, judgements and decisions we make about life, and how best to survive. It even accommodates and is impacted by our belief systems around health, disease, aging and death.
I am sure that you have noticed from time to time that you can tell a persons ‘personality type’ by observing how his, or her body has developed. The software has that much of an effect on the physical body. You may also have observed that after a major shift, or healing experience, a person’s appearance can change dramatically, as can their physical structure.
There are many magnificent forms of bodywork readily available today. Yet, I have seen people who have had major transformations as the result of bodywork, revert to the old shape again. This can happen within a few days, typically because the energy fields, or the programming in the BodyMind was not addressed. This probably explains why people who have bodywork done tend to have it on an on-going basis. I have witnessed that when the programming is changed at the cellular level within the body, then the adjustments will last. This is not to discount extensive bodywork programs when they are appropriate.
It is worth considering that the cause of what might appear to be a physical or structural problem need not necessarily be in the physical dimension. I have witnessed many situations where this was definitely so.

I offer one case in point.

One day a colleague asked if I would see a friend of hers, who was also her client. He was a medical doctor (G.P.) in the Air Force. For about six weeks he had been terrified by a strange sensation of pain, stiffness, and numbness down one side of his head, carrying on down his neck and left shoulder. He visited colleagues of his in several local hospitals and medical clinics, undergoing extensive tests, including MRIs, various scans and X-rays. None of the tests came up with any answers, and the problem was not getting any better with any allopathic treatments he was taking. Naturally, he was very nervous, and desperate for relief, as the pain was relentless.
Although he was a medical doctor, he was curious about alternative, or complementary methodologies, and willing to have a go, even though he was a bit skeptical. After a brief interview, I had him lie down while I placed my hands on his head, neck and shoulder. About fifteen minutes later, I felt something shift in him. When I asked how he was feeling, he said, “Great ! But I’m afraid to move in case it hurts”.
I asked him to trust me and move anyway. As he sat up, his face lit up with a look of delight and surprise. He could not believe that the pain had gone, and he kept moving his head and shoulder looking for it. Once the message got through to him that he was healed, he just sat there laughing with relief. He coyly admitted that he had not really expected anything to happen, but that he was extremely grateful that it did.
That was not the only surprise I gave him that day. Intuitively, I was able to describe circumstances in his living which had most likely caused the problem in the first place, and suggested that he get in touch with what he wanted, and to make decisions about certain things which would reduce the risk of creating other problems in his life in the future. It was a cause of wonder to him that I could know so much about him without any obvious source of information.
It was no mystery to me, as it was all there in his Bodymind. All I had to do was access his Bodymind and adjust or re-set the information system. It was up to him then to make choices and changes in his life, or let his body write another limiting program.
What was going on for him was that he was faced with the choice of retiring from the Air Force, going into private practice, or taking on another term. The air-force was safe; home, position, rank, security. He was going through all the insecurities of leaving home again (at 42). The alternative was to find a home, set up a practice, and take his place in the civilian world. Scary !!!
I wrote this article on my computer. Every now and again I do some good housekeeping with this computer, by checking the software programs for viruses, and erasing obsolete files from the directories. I do the same with my Bodymind, which is far more important than my computer. When was the last time you did an inventory of your Bodymind?

INVITATION to SHARE:

I would greatly appreciate your support with a project I am working on regarding natural healing, spiritual healing, hands-on-healing, distant or remote healing, meditation, prayer, visualization and other non-invasive, transformational methods.

IF YOU HAVE ANY FEED_BACK, INSIGHTS or COMMENTS, whether anecdotal, factual, clinical, scientific, fantasy or otherwise, I would love to take a look at them.

So don't judge them - just post them here, or E-mail them to - markmcfly@msn.com

I am researching the following;
1. Miracle cures, or spontaneous remissions from life-threatening conditions.

2. Power of prayer in healing, or achieving goals.

3. The power of touch in healing.

4. Attitudinal shifts that brought about major changes in health, relationships, self-esteem, and prosperity

5. Positive goal setting that produced the desired results in any aspect of living.
6. Any examples of how changing one's thinking changed one's whole life. ("When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" - Wayne Dyer.)

I am of the opinion that the medical culture of "Cut, Burn, Poison" is a belief system, and that one can survive and flourish outside of that mind-set.

Example: Morphine gives a degree of comfort to the suffering patient, but there is a good chance he/she will die from the effects of that drug on his/her body, rather than the illness that he/she is being treated for.

There are a growing number of people who are of the conclusion that Drug Therapy is a one-way street to death, within the belief system that death is inevitable.
Likewise, it is my opinion that surgery other than to repair physical damage, is a futile attempt to do 'anything' rather than 'nothing', to access revenue, and placate the suffering patients and their families and friends. Example: Using the knife on cancer can, and very often does allow, or even cause it to metastasize, and spread to other organs and tissue.

It is common to find that many long, protracted, complicated, very expensive and very painful medical procedures are carried out on young children, which produce little if any benefit, or advantage to the child, but give the parents the feeling of "at least we are doing something".

My objective is not to terrorize anyone, but to focus more on the positive options of healing and prayer, along with complementary and alternative healing methodologies, with the focus more on the healing and prayer. There is already enough fear out there, to which I have no desire to add. I want to find a way to inspire people to take back personal responsibility, and take charge of their lives, rather than ride the roller coaster.

I personally have not visited/consulted a medical doctor in over 50-years, (except once, when I broke my wrist) and consider myself to be a healthy 70-year-old. I do believe that good health is the result of avoiding the use of pharmaceuticals and other harmful substances, along with the associated mind-sets, which of themselves can be very harmful.

I also rely heavily on meditation, hands-on-healing and prayer, even though I am not a religious person.

I use a variety of healing methods on myself daily, just as I eat, drink, and perform my other routine activities - no big deal.
I take responsibility for what I put in my body.

I also know that if I have a "Big Mac" today it won't kill me. Thinking that it might kill me is more harmful than actually eating it.

Having said that, I don't eat a lot of junk food, but if I do I bless it and choose that it will not harm me.
Attitude has a lot to do with it.
I do however, take the time to notice what I am thinking (and feeling), and am aware of how often I am impacted by the information I read or hear in the media concerning health.
I constantly remind myself that that is not my reality, and am usually clear about the reality I choose.

Daily we read or hear information and statistics that speak of doom and gloom, and how something is going to get you. Remember, a couple of years ago, they announced a "Flu Pandemic" with experts appearing on news and talk shows urging "everyone" to get their Flu shot as soon as possible. Within weeks there was a shortage of the vaccine due to contamination of the product, and those same experts were back assuring everyone that only the elderly, the very young, and those with health challenges need to take the vaccine. Everyone else take vitamin-C, and "they should be OK!"

Forgive me if I seem cynical, but doesn't this sound like a marketing strategy gone wrong?
--- "and here are today's specials!"

Notice how many people obediently develop flu, allergies, or hay fever because the service announcement on CNN sponsored by the drug companies announce that it is that time of year again. This is not rocket science! The three top brands of allergy medicine collectively sold over $4Billion in the US in 2002, according to market reports (April '03). Health is not big business. Illness is where the real money is!
That is why they keep selling disease on TV and radio. It is my opinion that Pharmaceuticals are not designed to make you better, but to maintain your illness at a tolerable level, so you will keep taking the medicine. This is no different from the other 'drug-dealers' who want you back tomorrow for another fix. Go figure!

My point is that as we are now in what is loosely termed the "Information Age", and that information is more often the cause of people's sickness, disease, aging and death, than the circumstances and conditions they live in.
Again, I welcome your responses and comments whether anecdotal, factual, clinical, scientific, fantasy or otherwise.
Feel free to reply on or off-line.
(E-mail - markmcfly@msn.com).

Please do not judge your response, as I will welcome it regardless. I will not challenge your comments, although I may ask for more information. I am not setting anyone up for an argument. I am simply looking for inspiration and support in researching the topics listed at the top of this note, and anything you might feel is related to them, and produce a more positive outcome.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

The Power of Prayer

(author unknown - published on Dr. Mercola's web-site 1998)

I had a very interesting visit from a new patient last week that was such a clear illustration of the power of prayer and the absolute insanity of conventional medicine that I had to share it. It seems that God has opened up the windows of heaven and poured out a blessing that is overflowing on my practice. Unfortunately, there are some side effects to this blessing. My new patient appointments are two to four months away now. This seriously limits acutely sick patients from seeing me immediately. Last week, Kathy Parrish called to schedule an appointment to see me. She lived about four to five hours away in a small farm community the middle of Illinois. She was concerned of a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis she had just received. She called to make an appointment but could not get in to see me for six weeks. When she hung up the phone, she was absolutely confident that her prayer would be answered and she would get in sooner. She did not have one micro doubt in her brain. She did not relay this information to our new patient coordinator. Within the hour, another patient who was scheduled to see me in four days called to cancel and she was able to get in. I don't know why I am so amazed every time I see answered prayer, but I am. Every day there are miracles that occur that go unnoticed by most of us.
The other amazing part of this story is the absurd and reprehensible actions of her local doctor, which caused her to seek the visit. Her local doctor did a series of tests on her for some recent onset of fatigue that indicated she has an elevated rheumatoid factor. She had NO joint pains. He immediately suggested, even demanded, that she go on Methotrexate for this lab abnormality. Methotrexate is a very powerful anti-cancer drug that is used in severe, incapacitating rheumatoid arthritis. He attempted to scare her by telling her that they caught the problem early and it was like a monster in the closet and he had the key to keep it there with this dangerous drug. She resisted but did consent for him to give her an injectable steroid drug, which made her very sick.
This doctor, like many others, had no clue on how the body works. I fully believe he is a danger to his community and should have his license removed. These types of drugs are never used for someone who has no symptoms. Kathy wisely resisted the methotrexate. The other incredible aspect of this story is that it was the doctor's advice, again, which caused her to have the symptoms in the first place. Two years ago, Kathy had a slightly elevated cholesterol level so he put her on a very low fat diet. Ever since that time, her energy level had decreased. Finally, two years after depriving herself of essential nutrition and eating far too many carbohydrates, her body gave in and she had progressively increasing fatigue.
Not all of the patients who see me are this easy to get back to health. All she needed to do was go on a healthy diet and start some natural progesterone for the menopause for which she was entering. She was so healthy I did not even need to see her for a follow-up visit. Amazing, just amazing.
