This is an excellent discussion of spiritual healing, for both halers and healees. Tiffany Snow started her working career writing songs and producing records in Nashville, Tennessee. Her now considerable healing gifts were awakened after being struck by lightning and having a near-death experience. She has become a minister and regularly offers healing in church as well as in individual sessions. People often lose consciousness when they receive healing, entering ecstatic states which are classically described as being ‘slain in the spirit.’
What I like about Snow’s book is her practical, down to earth attitude, and her openness to learning herself from her work.
… I see my entire life as a classroom in preparation for this healing journey. Many have been the questions as struggle and blessings came across my path, each carrying their own specific burden and lessons. Some of these trappings, most of which were victim-based and religious in nature, I have stumbled on; I have found by tripping I've learned to lift my feet. Looking back, I realize that all the times of my brokenness were simply excellent opportunities for me to choose love over bitterness, love over fear, love over unforgiveness. By exercising the opportunity to use our Free Will to always choose love, we allow ourselves to become rebuilt into a better vessel; strong enough to be a flowing channel for Unconditional Love to all people, a true reflection of the nature of the Christ. (Author’s introductory note)
While herself practicing firmly within a Christian tradition, Snow is respectful of other healing traditions.
Spiritual healing can be Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Qigong, Quantum Healing, etc. Spiritual healing has come to mean a variety of methods which may employ some sort of spiritual aspect with the healing, but may or may not include prayer. Also, the person healing may or may not be including his own energy in with the healing. Divine Healing always includes prayer, cannot activate without it, and healing is never done by including any of the person's own energy. It often includes some version of hands-on-healing or ‘laying-on-of-hands.’ (p. 4)
Snow acknowledges healing energies and imagery/visualizations as being helpful in promoting healing, along with God’s will. For others, as for herself, she suggests that illnesses may be helpful lessons. "When You are Down to Nothing, God is Up to Something!" (p. 17)
Snow has interesting observations on medications such as cocaine and morphine-based drugs, which make it more difficult for her to connect with people for intuitive assessments and healing.
Snow has a gift for sharing profound observations in light-hearted manners. She comments on the complexity of human relationships and the healings that may extend beyond the person presenting with symptoms or illnesses.
Sometimes, accessing Spirit is like dialing up on a phone line, and getting a party line! The information you receive may not even be for the situation or person at hand. (p. 33)
Death, points out Snow, is not something to fight, but rather the ultimate healing.
This book is a good read, in addition to its informative content. Warmly recommended for anyone interested in healing.
