Course-based healing as a healing modality based on A Course in Miracles.
How it works
It’s not necessary to understand these mechanics in order to receive the benefits, but I will share this because this is a lesser known form of healing.
A Course in Miracles depicts physical sickness as an effect of purely cause which is the mind. It actually describes the body as having no autonomous abilities at all. Everything that the body does is utterly and completely a choice at the level of the mind.
Important note: Despite the emphasis A Course in Miracles placed on the mind, there is no contradiction with using modern medicine. In fact, the course encourages the use of a compromise-approach for when accepting the power of the mind feels difficult. This is why course-based healing is an excellent complementary approach to modern medicine:
8 All material means which you accept as remedies for bodily ills are simply restatements of magic principles. ²It was the first level of the error to believe that the body created its own illness. ³Thereafter, it is a second misstep to attempt to heal it through noncreative agents. ⁴It does not follow, however, that the application of these very weak corrective devices is evil. ⁵Sometimes the illness has sufficiently great a hold over an individual’s mind to render him inaccessible to Atonement. ⁶In this case, one may be wise to utilize a compromise approach to mind and body, in which something from the outside is temporarily given healing belief.
~ A Course in Miracles T-2.VII.7-8
Therefore, there is an emphasis that really only the mind can be sick.
- It’s sick to believe that there exists a universe that would force you to feel pain against your will, for one.
- It’s sick to believe that you do not deserve to live in perfect peace.
- It’s sick to believe that you need to suffer in any way.
The sickness of mind gets represented in the body. When the sickness in the mind is healed, the body follows suite. A Course in Miracles depicts sickness as a choice that you make for yourself consciously. The decision to make yourself sick then you essentially choose to “forget”. This makes it seem as though sickness chose you rather than you choosing it.
Getting back to guilt…
The cause of sickness is ultimately the belief in guilt. Note the important distinction between actually being guilty versus the belief in guilt. If you were guilty, you would be deserving of pain, punishment, and whatnot. However the belief in guilt only requires a correction in the mind. The belief in guilt is therefore healed by an updated thought:
You are innocent.
The thought of innocence is seen as the ultimate saviour, the essence of forgiveness, and the way to heal the world.
A Course in Miracles also emphasises that all minds are joined. This might be understood as everyone being in constant telepathic communication. Minds are not encased in bodies, but rather are unlimited in all ways at all times. There is no separation between any and all minds and also between all minds and God. This means you never actually think alone in private.
How the healer helps
As a course-based healer, I have the capacity to remind you mind-to-mind - without words - that you are innocent. I do this by seeing and holding to your perfect innocence in my mind, dispelling all guilt thoughts about you.
There is no “secret sauce” to this healing modality. Perhaps there is some practice required to actually hold the thought of somebody’s innocence in the mind until the message is received, but ultimately there is no attunement needed, no symbols to memorise, no correct hand gestures.
The thought of innocence is itself the cure.
