I just received the go ahead from the orthopedic surgeon that I could start to put weight on my left leg. It has been fully protected, immobilized for six weeks and I’m so grateful for this encouraging news!

How does healing happen inside our bodies? What processes happen in ways beyond our knowing?

How can we support nature’s healing and work with the inner science of our body beings?

People are amazed how well I’m doing. I wonder - is it because of the goopy green comfrey poultice a friend lovingly brought me one evening?

Or the “evil bone water” - a well-known Chinese medicine cure, suggested by my awesome acupuncturist?

Or is it the mounds of fresh veggies, fruit, and nutritious meals lovingly brought from my “meal train” people?

How about all the vitamins, extra supplements, massages and dozens of cups of tea?

Undoubtedly it’s all of the above and more.

AND - I have a hunch that one of the biggest healing factors is the healing energy of prayer.

The most precious card I received came in the first week of my recovery. It is from Cristina – yes – she’s the woman who was driving the car that hit me. See this beautiful image - a photograph by Tom Till, of a Utah slot canyon. Look at those ‘bones’ of rock and light!

Cristina knew this was the card for me before she knew anything about me. Imagine! She started praying healing Light and Spirit energy down into my bones from the day it happened. She didn’t know about my commitment to live as one who thunders from her bones! She admitted that before she met me, she wasn’t even sure I’d understand the power of this card chosen exactly for me.

Somehow when we walk with Mystery, she shows up in the middle of our dreadful human predicament, and through the evolution of time, offers us all, the healing of spirit and body. Light from above pours into our bones. For this, I am most grateful.
