Hands of Light – Guide to Healing - Soul Circles

14 HANDS OF LIGHT
ways at work in every action. You always get
back what you put out. That is what is called
karma. As the energy flowing through you as a
healer increases, so does your power. If you put
any of this power to a negative use, you will
eventually experience that same negativity coming
back at you.
As my life unfolded, the unseen hand that
led me became more and more perceptible. At
first I vaguely sensed it. Then I began seeing
spiritual beings, as if in a vision. Then I began to
hear them talking to me and feel them touch
me. I now accept that I have a guide. I can see,
hear, and feel him. "He" says he is not male or
female. "He" says that in his world there is no
splitting along sexual lines and that beings at his
level of existence are whole. "He" says that his
name is Heyoan, which means, "The Wind
Whispering Truth Through the Centuries." His
introduction to me was slow and organic. The
nature of our relationship grows daily, as I am
guided'to new levels of understanding. You will
see it build as we go through this adventure together.
At times, I simply call it metaphor.
Throughout this book, I will share with you
some of the more obvious examples of guidance
and its power. Here I want to show you its simplicity
and the way it works.
The simplest kind of guidance comes every
day, and many times a day in the form of discomfort.
Heyoan says that if we just listened to
this guidance and followed it we would rarely
get sick. In other words, attending to the discomfort
you feel puts you back into balance and
therefore health. This discomfort can be in your
body in physical form, like physical discomfort
or pain; it could be on any level of your beingemotional,
mental, or spiritual. It could be in
any area of your life.
Heyoan asks, "Where is the discomfort in your
body/life? How long have you known about it? What
is it saying to you? What have you done about it?"
If you answer those questions honestly, you
will find how much you disregard the best tool
you have to keep yourself healthy, happy and
wise. Any discomfort anywhere in your body/
life is a direct message to you about how you are
out of alignment with your true self.
Following guidance on this simple level
means to rest when you are tired, to eat when
you are hungry, and to eat what your body
needs when it needs it. It means to take care of
or change a life circumstance that bothers you.
How well have you been able to structure your
life so that you can do these things? Not so easy,
is it?
As you become more attentive to your personal
needs by listening to internal messages
that come to you in the form of discomfort, you
will become more balanced and clear. This will
bring more health to you. The practice of
listening-in will also bring on the phenomena of
direct or verbal guidance. You may start receiving
very simple verbal directives from an "inner"
voice—a voice that you hear inside
yourself, but that you recognize as coming from
beyond yourself. There are two important points
about learning to follow guidance. The first is
that you will need to practice receiving guidance
for yourself before you are qualified to receive it
for others. The second is that the information or
directives that you get may be very simple and
seem totally unimportant at first. In fact, it may
seem like a complete waste of time to follow any
of it. I have come to realize that there is a reason
for this. Later, when channelling important information
about another person's life or specific
information about illness, a professional channeller
will get information that doesn't make
any sense or seems irrelevant or just plain
wrong. It may be, but most of the time this is
the rational mind at work. The information coming
through a clear channel is often beyond
what the rational mind of the channeller can understand.
It is at those times when the channeller
will need a lot of past experience to
remember all the other times the information
didn't make sense when it came through, yet
later the information turned out to be very helpful
and understandable when all the information
was in. I find now that during the hour
spent healing and channelling I will receive information
in a nonlinear way that slowly over
the hour creates an understandable picture that
gives more information than was possible in just
a rational or linear mode.
