I have recently given some thought to what other people’s expectations of healing are, and I wondered if people think of healing as purely about the physical body, or if mental emotional healing is enough. I think many times the perception of healing expectations is mostly about the physical. And there is nothing wrong with wanting our body to be healed.
After all the Course says God made us perfect and so I for one want to be perfect. But it also says in the Course that all healing is in the mind. When it is the mind that thinks it can be sick, then the mind is sick. So, our perception of what the body is for and what our true Self is needs correction.
During the process, if we need to take medicine or some other physical treatment, we should do that. Jesus said that alternative treatments contribute to magical thinking but fear is the greatest obstacle to healing so it is better to find comfort in physical means than to perpetuate fear.
In Text 2.IV.5:1 Jesus said, “The children of God are entitled to the perfect comfort that comes from perfect trust. Until they achieve this, they waste themselves and their true creative powers on useless attempts to make themselves more comfortable by inappropriate means.” (T-2.III.5:1)

As a child and teenager, when I would to go to Confession at my hometown church, I would first do a mental inventory. I’d try to figure out how I had sinned so that when I knelt down in that dark box and waited for the male figure on the other side to slide open the little door, I’d have something to say.
“Bless me Father for I have sinned. It’s been (x) weeks since my last Confession. Father, I… (This is where I had to list all of my sins.)
I’d say something like: “I lied to my mother three times and I disobeyed her twice.” I totally made up these “sins” so that I’d have something to say!
Part and parcel of the experience was the ever-present scent of candles burning within the sacred space, which the devout had lit in hopes of having their intentions being put on the fast-track to the heavens. The smell of hundreds of little flickering lights had seeped behind the curtain to, I’m sure, remind me that I was in a holy place and that I’d better be good!

Love, which is our Creator,
and the Source of all Life,
we give welcome this day.
We ask that you bless each of us
with full awareness of the
thoughts we share with You
and let the Light you offer us
shine away the dream of darkness.
May the memory of Your Love
come and help us to
forgive our misperceptions
of an imaginary fear
as we, together as One,
respond to your Spirit’s invitation
to open wide the doors to Christ.

Every morning when I wake up I pray and meditate, and then I ask Holy Spirit for a word. I never know what that word will be, but I’ve noticed that the word is exactly what I need for that day. Some words I’ve received are “Kindness, Trust, Peace, Love, Light, Open-mindedness, Patience.” This morning I received the word “Blessing”... and I had no idea how that word would be helpful in my day.
That afternoon I was walking down the street in London and I saw two policemen coming out of an apartment building. I was curious, and so I stopped and waited across the street to see what was going on. They were dressed in yellow luminescent jackets, and had guns and handcuffs. British police don’t usually carry guns, so this was something big.
Behind them came eight more uniformed policemen, and they surrounded a man in his mid 20s. He was wearing trousers with a drawing sewn into the legs, so I guessed it was a drug bust? Or it could be domestic violence? I hear that lots of people are forced to live with their partners 24/7 during the Coronavirus lockdown, and abuse is common. I stood there on the street and felt petrified. I was full of fear even though I was just a bystander. My ego thoughts had me locked in hell.
