"Something we need to bear in mind, is that sometimes when we send healing, the end result is death. This can be quite a hard concept to understand for people, because when they ask for a healing, they expect the healing will continue life rather than end it." My Reiki teacher told the group as we were learning about healing - specifically distance healing.
It is a shocking concept indeed. I know that up until that point, when I asked for healing for someone with a major health issue, I expected them to get better; not die! I think the point we miss is that healing comes in a number of forms and it is subjective to the individual recieving it. Sometimes, the body is just so ill and weak, that death is the ultimate form of healing for them.
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a picture of a foal who had had a tough start to life... I asked everyone to send healing and loving energies to him. The hardest thing to affirm to myself was asking the Angels and Universe to heal him - come what may. Thankfully, he is coming along quite nicely and my sincere thanks goes to everyone who prayed for him.
Death is a hard thing to watch happen to a loved one. The loss that we then have to carry as we work through the grief can sometimes be unbearable. But somehow, even though there will always be a little spot in your heart for that loved one, we heal and move on. I think we all want what is best for our loved ones - come what may - as long as they do not suffer. This ties in with surrendering, which I will cover in another blog.
So in saying that, don't go the other way and not ask for healing for a loved one - or to even ask for their death, because they will go when they are ready, too - but to be cognisant of the possibilities. Asking for healing is the greatest gift you can ever give a loved one who is ill or suffering in other ways. Sometimes what is best for others, is not necessarily best for us or what we want, though what we want will not often come into it when it comes to the needs of others. I am just asking to bear in mind that sometimes death is the healing option and to at least be a little prepared for the "come what may" clause.
