Spiritual Resources During This Pandemic

April 22, 2020 by Juanita Lepage Leave a Comment

For those of you craving a few ways to explore your spiritual side during this pandemic, today is your lucky day. Whether you label yourself as more spiritual or religious or somewhere on the edges or inbetween, here are a few ideas to explore spirituality more deeply during this pandemic. What’s your go-to spiritual resource during this time?

1. Ram Dass

Using your current situation as your spiritual path

My husband recently shared a great talk about Dharma with me (see link below). In essence, one way to understand Dharma, is that we can use whatever situation we’re in as our spiritual path. Ram Dass is most famous for being a Harvard professor (formerly Richard Alpert) connected to Timothy Leary. After experimenting with psychedelics, researching their possible contribution to expanding one’s spiritual path, and then later getting kicked out of Harvard, he found himself fully immersed on a spiritual path after he met is guru in India. If you’ve ever listened to Ram Dass you know he is a pleasure to listen to and a naturally gifted teacher with a sense of humour.

2. The Hathors (with Tom Kenyon)

A macro lens on the pandemic with ways to soften resistance to change and fear during this time.

Tom Kenyon is an American psychologist who has studied the healing qualities of sound. He also connects to spiritual figures and beings from different dimensions. One group of interdimensional beings he has connected to over the past few decades are the Hathors. For over a decade the Hathors have shared spiritual resources for turbelent times with meditations and articles (shared via Tom Kenyon). Take a read of this interesting article on chaotic nodes, and their resources for ways to soften resistance to change and fear during this time. Chaotic nodes are times on the planet when there are multiple chaotic events happening at once.

3. Religion

Grounding, connection to others and something larger than yourself (God)

If you’re religious, I’m probably “speaking to the choir”, as you know how religion can be something to help find grounding, peace, and wisdom during this time. I grew up in a Christian community, and while I don’t practice it anymore, I’ve found that a few ways in which religion can help are: 1) Being in a church community supported by others during this time 2) Reading the Bible or other spiritual texts and either doing self-reflection or connecting with others 3) Prayer in times of struggle or gratitude.

4. Nature

Connection to animals, plants, stars, and the earth.

It’s more challenging right now for most of us to spend time in nature. The pleasure of sun on our face, the grass between our fingers, the sounds of birds and animals in the night, the stars gazing down on us, our pets, the sounds of waves or wind.. the options are endless.

It’s springtime where I live, and we’re allowed to go for walks. I enjoy noticing the leaves and flowers start to show themselves slowly each day. I enjoy seeing the stars from the warmth of inside. I enjoy being with my cats and dog.

How do you connect to your spirituality during this time?

Christianity And Energy Healing: A Book Review

May 24, 2018 by Juanita Lepage 5 Comments

Christianity and Energy Healing

I was excited to buy a copy of the newly released book Blessed with Energy: The Mystery of Energy Medicine Explained Through Science and Scripture by Marcy Meyers.  I attended the Barbara Brennan School of Healing with Marcy for a couple of years.  During our final year, she gave an excellent presentation about Christianity and Energy Healing.  Like myself, she offers counselling and energy healing, but with her own blend of skills.  I was curious to learn more about her knowledge and experience.

This book is written for a few different audiences:

  1. Christians who are receiving or contemplating energy healing and are unclear about whether it fits with their beliefs.
  2. Individuals who want to learn more about how energy healing works from a scientific lens
  3. Individuals who are at a roadblock on their healing journey

She starts by giving an overview of the science of energy healing and exploring its relationship to sound and the electromagnetic field.  She explains complex things in a reader-friendly way.

She also writes about her own health issues and struggles with medical doctors who couldn’t help her heal from infertility and few other physical ailments.  As many people do in this situation, she started to explore complementary healthcare for healing. She had success in healing her infertility using energy healing along with breathwork, good eating, counselling and more.

Alongside the exploration of energy healing in the book she inserts scripture passages that have helped her as a Christian support the concepts of chakras, auras, and hands on healing in general. She has shifted from being fearful of energy healing to embracing it as a gift from God.  She masterfully writes without the intention of trying to convince the reader.  She provides scriptures passages for the readers to contemplate for themselves.

“Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to what is known about nature” St. Augustine.

Perhaps my favourite part of the book is the selection of resources she shares.  From diet, sound therapy, protection against electromagnetic fields (EMFs), breathwork and more.

If you’re a Christian, you may be a little unsure of this book by looking at the cover.  It’s beautiful cover, but a little intense and a bit “new agey”.  Try not to let that deter you.  If you can keep an open mind, it will be to your benefit to explore whether her interpretation of the Bible fits with your interpretation.  Broadening the conversation is the goal.

Whether you’re a Christian or not, if you’re interested in learning more about the science of energy healing as an avenue to healing, this is an excellent book to explore.
