Healing of our body, mind and spirit comes from within. However, it isn't something we can make happen with effort. It is a letting go of all the tensions, stress, and fears in our life and resting in the Secret Place of the Most High. This is what Psalm 91 talks about. "He who dwells in The Secret Place of The Most High shall abide under the shadow of The Almighty."
How do we let go? How do we abide under the shadow of The Almighty? We ask the Holy Spirit to show us what we are holding on to. Why do we do this? It is our own fear of something that causes us tension and stress. We often bury the particular fear so deeply in our subconscious that we don't even remember what the fear is and why we have tension. The Holy Spirit will help us to see. The Holy Spirit will show us our self, if we ask, and help us get to the root of our fears and tensions. Once we know what the fear is, we can let go of it. It isn't possible to let go of something when we don't even know what it is. If we allow the Holy Spirit to show us what we need to see, it is effortless.
It took me a long time to realize that I had a fear about learning what
my fears were! I went "digging" into myself over and over, but would get frustrated with all the effort I was putting into the excavations I
was doing on myself. I now abide in the shadow of The Almighty. It wasn't always this way. My way for many years was extreme effort. God gave me free will and as long as I chose to do it my way, God let me.
My practice is moment by moment surrender to God. I practice the presence of God. Every day I am getting better and better at doing this because my experience teaches me. I am stronger and stronger every day in every way.
