Attunement
This Month's Reflection on Healing
Dear friends,
I have the privilege to send you this very important passage from the Githa Dhyana’s Series I nr. 4(A).
“What is attunement? It is altering the pitch of the personal will to the Will of God. Whatever one holds before oneself, to that will he become attuned, but if everything is allowed to pass before one’s mind, it can become affixed on nothing. It is the same as one first viewing a great city or marvellous scenery; they do not fix their gaze on anything. The sufi, knowing this, fixes his gaze on God.
In healing, if one does this, he gradually draws the magnetism of the universe and dedicates his body for a healing work. But if he thinks that negativity means attuning to the sick patient, he draws on the condition of the patient instead of the Divine Help, and may take on the illness without helping the sick person much. This comes from a wrong view of sympathy.
Sympathy means an attunement, a feeling with, but there is a negative way and a positive way of sympathizing. In the negative way one feels the suffering, the pathos, the pain, and unites in grief but does not bring much help. In the positive way, one raises the other from sorrow, one is able to give them their better condition without taking on the lower condition. This is true healing. That is the reason why one must repeat “Towards the One” so much during the healing service, and gradually attune oneself to the Divine rays which are health-giving”.
I hope you’ll give these words to all members of your spiritual healing circles and I wish you much inspiration in all your work.
With many loving greetings,
Sattva van Dorssen.
