BEAUTIFUL HEALING
Submitted by: Jessica T
Vancouver, British Columbia, CanadaSince I listened to the CD of The Secret, many amazing things have occurred in my life, but none more so than my healing of the ulcerative colitis that had plagued me for years.
Born and raised in a Pentecostal-type home, I grew up a very anxious child, terrified of hell and the return of Christ. In my heart, I questioned the Church. If God is love, like the Bible teaches, then why am I feeling so much fear? I was scared of everything.
My dad had ulcerative colitis, and my mom told me that if I continued to worry about needless things, I too would get it. At the age of twenty-three, I was, indeed, diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
I stopped dreaming and singing and started drinking heavily in my late twenties, when I settled into a relationship that was “good enough.” It was then that the ulcerative colitis really began to flare up.
Even after I left Mr. Good Enough and stumbled upon my “Made for Me” man, my gut continued to cramp and bleed daily. By then I was working full-time and single-handedly raising my young daughter and troubled teen son. My brilliant love affair made all the pain bearable, but my body was getting tired.
I lost my job, and with the love and care of my then-new husband, I was able to focus purely on healing my past and my body. Bleeding daily, I was badly anemic and very tired. Mentally, I was pretty beat up too. I visited a specialist, who told me that I would be on a high dose of prescription anti-inflammatories and would require periodic enemas for the rest of my life. Dejected and hopeless, I filled my body with medication and just dealt with it.
More than a year later, I was still bleeding almost every day. In every other way, I had a brilliant, perfect life, but I still felt physically and emotionally horrible. After a big debate with myself, I bought The Secret. Five minutes into the book, tears of joy were streaming down my face. I could not believe how my unspoken beliefs were now being confirmed.
That day my life changed. The colitis symptoms immediately let up. I Google Image–searched a healthy colon and would visualize that in me. I gave thanks for my healing and blessed my body continuously. I imagined water being healing for my body. I figured that our bodies are made up mostly of water and that adding to it would be beneficial, flushing out any unhealthy bacteria. So, I would drink water and give thanks. (It was only later, after listening to The Power, that I learned how water reacts to a positive environment.)
I continued to listen to The Secret daily. My body was healing and I was feeling the best I had ever felt in my life, and yet my health was still not where I wanted it to be.
Mentally, I struggled with letting go of my past and dealing with confrontations with loved ones. I had bouts of anxiety and was very frustrated that I could not be “calm and cool.” I was very hard on myself. I had all the tools and was getting everything I wanted. Why wasn’t my health perfect? I knew that I was so close to achieving full health, but I was still missing something.
After six months of listening to The Secret every day and reading books on spiritual growth and healing and gratitude, I bought The Power and discovered what I’d been missing. What I’d forgotten to put first before everything else was love. I instantly allowed myself to love everything, from the smallest to the biggest. Two days later, the colitis symptoms were gone.
I now start my days feeling love. I picture my family and friends and I give them love. I picture them happy and successful. I am blown away by how the Universe has reacted. Confrontations have cleared up. People around me became happier. I’m not doing anything more than imagining and feeling love. It is so easy to do. I now let myself feel love for everything! I give love to everything and everyone.
My biggest thing was finding the love in my past. If a memory comes up that causes me grief, I just find something I loved about that time and allow myself to feel it. Then that moment in time doesn’t ever bother me again.
Every area of my life is better than it’s ever been. The Secret opened the door to a brand-new way of thinking and life for me. On my birthday, two and a half years after I first listened to The Secret, the results of my biannual test showed that the ulcerative colitis I’d been plagued with for so many years was no longer there. All that remains is scar tissue. I am the healthiest and happiest I have ever been in my life.
