For me, a miracle is something good that happens in the face of insurmountable odds.
When everyone around you says "its impossible" and yet it happens anyway, that is a miracle, even more so when it is medically related and the professionals say that its impossible.
Many of us have heard of such stories, they seem to be happening more frequently these days; just type "medical miracles" into a search engine to read some of the stories. The point here is that miracles DO happen, and they can happen to anyone of us. I have personally witnessed a few of them, two in particular are undeniable miracles involving two of my animals.
I briefly introduced you to Benji, and I have yet to tell you about Hermes.
Benji (in a nutshell)
A senior dog (approx. 14 yrs old) who was brought to me so that he wouldn't be euthanized. Who knows how long he had been on his own as a stray when animal control finally picked him up and took him to the shelter.
Seen by two veterinarians over the course of two months, each vet recommending euthanasia because of his extensive medical issues, his age, and his very aggressive personality. How he escaped being PTS (put to sleep) and found his way to me, is a small miracle in itself.
By modern medical standards, Benji's only hope would be in surgery and possible constant steroidal medications (according to the two veterinarians), the cost was/is more than I can afford at this time. I treated him holistically and prayed. I meditated, and asked a friend to do Reiki on him.
Things got better for awhile ... then, something happened to his leg. He was fine that morning, but a few hours later he was crying in pain whenever he tried to move. I couldn't get him to the vet because I couldn't touch him without getting bitten. I medicated him with pain killers and arthritis meds, he barely ate, barely moved, and rarely got up to even urinate for nearly a week. For most of that week, I sat with him outside (he can't come in the house because I won't risk the interaction between him and my cats or other dogs) ... its a good thing we live in Arizona, because the winter this year has been horrendous in most other areas of the U.S. I averaged 4 hours of interrupted sleep during that week because every time he woke up from his sleep and didn't see me sitting with him, he would start barking ... and my neighbors needed to sleep too.
I was overwhelmed, exhausted, and only wanted him to be out of pain. I was determined to follow my logical mind over my heart, but the thought voices that I hear and my heart won out. Every day sees an improvement in his condition.
I am still taking it One Day at a Time, but I KNOW that whatever happens it will be by God's Will and Grace, and not simply because a human-being thinks there is no hope.
Benji has helped me to remember what Faith can do, that giving things over to a Higher Power has a way of creating miracles. Lol, right now he is rolling around on the ground to itch his back ... I am so glad that I listened to my heart! He is still having a bit of difficulty defecating, but (again) I am leaving it all up to God ... I am however, not just sitting idly by, I feed him soft food and give him a ton of vitamins to help the process along.
One of the things that I realized (remembered) in all of this is that ... I had let my "little" human mind get in the way of the healing miracle that was trying to take place. So often the miracle is there already, just waiting to take place, but our negative thoughts and feelings create a kind of barrier keeping the magic from working. When I realized this, and got out of the way, his healing began to move forward in leaps and bounds!
I also realized that I had allowed him to "cord" into me. This happened because I was so intent on healing him, and so concerned with his well-being. Once I realized this, I went into meditation and gently removed the cord. I then reconnected him to his own God-Source and checked to make sure that it was clear and that the light energy was flowing strong. This made an even stronger and quicker impact on his well-being. I check his connection to Source on a regular basis, and stay out of the way so that he and God can do their own thing.
His being corded into me meant that not only was I being drained, but he felt all of my negative thoughts and feelings, making it even more difficult for him to heal. And of course, if he was taking my energy to heal and my energy reserves were being used up, that meant that he was receiving less healing energy. It's just not a good thing, but a mistake that many beginning healers make. The best healers know that there is a Divine Reason for everything and all they do is to connect the ailing creatures to their own God Source and allow the process to take its own course.
(Today Benji had his first semi-normal bowel movement! Another small miracle without allopathic medicine.)
I first learned much of this with Hermes, a small kitten that taught me so much about love, letting go, getting out of the way, and miracles.
If you are reading this, I hope that you will add a small prayer to Benji's healing.
Tomorrow I will post the Miracle of Hermes the kitten.
Blessings!!
