When it comes to healing Ernest Holmes teaches that we are
already whole, complete and perfect. By remembering our innate wholeness we
come into a state of alignment with truth and live the life we were meant to
live.

That’s a beautiful idea and sometimes we need help
remembering or unraveling exactly what that means.

If you don’t know Barbara, she is one of the longest
continuing members of our spiritual community. She started attending our center

a minister in the traditional sense. Instead, Barbara found her own way to

When I asked her about energy she said, “We are all energy.
It’s all there is. If you want to know how it works you need to ask God!” But
thankfully our discussion didn’t end there.

She went on to give me her views on raising our

It’s an Inside Job
Barbara believes that healing whether it’s healing the body or a life
experience, comes from the inside. “All healing comes down to connecting to the
wisdom within and getting out of our own way.”

She used an analogy I could totally relate to. “Remember
Wonder Woman and how she had these magical bracelets that could deflect bullets?
Our best defense against anything harmful is to be so grounded in knowing that
God is all there is that things just bounce right off of us.” Barbara used the
example of someone giving you the finger in traffic. You can let that sink in
and disrupt your harmony or you can be so bullet proof in your self-knowingness
that it just bounces right off.

Blended Healing
Barbara acknowledges that Western medicine and it’s
prescriptions, therapies and surgeries have their place in keeping our bodies
healthy, but we can co-create health and
healing by remembering who we are.

“I don’t like guided imagery because it puts ideas in
people’s minds,” Barbara explains. “Instead I like to give a general suggestion,
like ‘Go to a sacred space,’ and then ask questions like, ‘Where are you? What
do you see?’ If we can create it, we can uncreate it. Sometimes we just need
more clarity.”

“One time I asked a patient what she saw and she said a bed
of violets. I asked God, ‘What do I do with a bed of violets?’ I got the
guidance to have the patient ask a
violet to stand up and speak for the group.
When I did, the patient began to laugh. I asked her what the violet
said. She responded, ‘Stop being a shrinking violet’ and that made so much
sense to her and guided us to next steps in the healing process.”

It’s all Good and
It’s All God
It’s true that Barbara can see energy and she believes that
we are all energetic beings, but she doesn’t call herself an energy healer
because there really is nothing to heal.

“There is no negative energy,” Barbara tells me. “It’s all
just energy.”

In her practice, Barbara reads energy centers called chakras
but believes the chakras can self-regulate. “It’s not for me to open or close
someone else’s chakras. The chakras do what they do in order to protect and
sustain the energetic balance in the body.”

So what do you do if you are walking into a situation where
you feel overwhelmed or uncertain? “Tell your energy centers to keep you safe
and do a quick prayer treatment. Remind yourself that God is all there is and
claim the good you want in that situation.”
