From "How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body Tenth Anniversary Edition" by David R. Hamilton, Ph.D."
"Post-polio Syndrome
Mary's story - My master electrician
In addition to using poetry as a vehicle for visualization, I meditated several times a day, imagining God as my master electrician, rewiring my neuromuscular system and healing the effects of both childhood paralytic polio and severe childhood trauma that manifested as Post-polio syndrome."
As I meditated, images came to me that were then incorporated into my poetry. My poetry was woven into and sprung forth my subconscious and fueled my healing journey.
I was able to feel the heal in my mind, heart and soul that then manifested in my physical body!
From "Feel the Heal: An Anthology of Poems to Heal Your Life":
A New Lease on Life
Rented space
rendered apart
plundered
what God has wrought
let no man put asunder.
Old wallpaper stripped
plumbing purged
once a trickle now flows
flickering lamps rewired
no longer dim
light bathes this old house.
Owner occupied
she smiles
sitting on the porch swing
butterflies dance
In a moment of unbridled joy
barefoot and free
they become One.
Feel the Heal
Feel the heal and heal the fear let goodness Love prevail
holding hands with open heart through adversity we sail.
Living in the present a gift no future and no past
surfing waves of our emotions suffering can’t last.
Feel the heal and heal the fear an illusion that fear is real
let go relax refresh and rest Love and Light can now reveal.
Faith and love no match for fear trust for we can fly
appearances deceiving doubts kiss them all goodbye.
Feel the heal and heal the fear we’re held in Loving arms
The Universe magnificent mysterious mystical charms.
We think a door is closing we grasp and hold on tight
miracle’s just a breath away release behold its sight.
Feel the heal and heal the fear get out of jail we’re free
possibilities are endless in our hands we hold the key.
No longer do we jump through hoops in faith we take a leap
Divine protection safety our life’s bounty time to reap.
Feel the heal and heal the fear let our hearts feel calm and peace
worries and anxieties heartache all can cease.
Today’s the day we celebrate as we all now feel the heal
courage strength compassion wisdom is all we need to feel.
The Potter’s Wheel
The Potter’s wheel with loving hands a figure forms brave and true
breaking mold cast by others,
Triumphant Spirit shining through.
In likeness of Divine’s image, all excess baggage gently melts away
unbridled freedom, joy fired up whole without fringe or fray.
Rhythmic turnings ever so slowly, tender kindness she feels the heal
embracing all that went before no longer feeling she had a raw deal.
Color and shape beyond compare magnificent in radiant sun
going the distance helps others to heal fueling her 26.2 mile run.
Transcending transforming no pain can last,
grit and gratitude fill heart and soul
leave doubts and fears in dust of memories past
sights set clearly on finish line goal.
In the distance the Potter’s cheering
that Voice so clear rises above the din
she feels in every fiber of her Being this race is hers to win.
Pacing, persistent and patient in each moment she feels the heal
reminded of her humble true beginnings
blessed by grace on Potter’s wheel.
My hope is that you or someone you love may know the blessing of feeling the healing!
From my heart to yours
In Health and Wellness,
Mary
