Mary Ellen Flora

Spiritual teacher, author, and CDM founder, Mary Ellen Flora, has been sharing her insight on spirituality since 1976 through her books, guided meditations, classes and presentations.Mary Ellen is an advocate of the use of daily meditation and has taught thousands of people to enrich their lives by using the spiritual techniques presented throughout her published works. She believes that we are all meant to be fully awake and alive, both spiritually and physically, and shares this belief with amusement, neutrality, and love."For many years I have taught classes focused on spiritual awakening. During that time, I have learned that, more than anything else, people need to learn to meditate. All of the answers to our questions are within us. What remains for us to do is to find a way to turn within for our unique information and our internal path to God. Meditation is the way for us to create what we need..." -Mary Ellen Flora, Meditation: Key to Spiritual AwakeningFlora’s introductory books and guided audio meditations, The Key Series, are a four-part collection that act as guides to the simple spiritual concepts that are a baseline through all her written works.

HEALING STORIES

All of us have the ability to heal ourselves and the blessing of other healers to help us if we choose. Unfortunately, most people do not realize that they have both the ability and the power to heal themselves and to attract any necessary assistance. In fact, ultimately, all healing is self-healing. As individual souls, we simply need to desire healing and believe we can have it.

Most people believe that someone else can heal them, but they cannot do it themselves. This makes people look outside themselves to find healing. When we choose this external focus, we forget our personal healing power, and the healing we desire cannot occur.

When you look within for your spiritual information, the healing idea forms, and the necessary belief or faith emerges. By turning within to yourself, the spirit, you open to the healing energies that are always available within and around you. While you are the one who creates the healing, you do not have to be alone in your healing process. Someone else can assist you in your healing process by being a catalyst, a helper or an energy booster. In fact, part of the healing process can be attracting the other souls you select to assist in your healing. You choose any helpers you wish or need; then it is part of your healing to let yourself receive the assistance.

The world is full of healers. In fact, we all have this ability even if we have allowed it to become dormant. There are many healing arts such as spiritual healing, dentistry, Ayurveda, midwifery, medicine, massage, herbal healing, surgery, acupuncture, chiropractic and much more. The people who have chosen to devote their lives to healing make themselves available to assist in one’s healing process. Healers can be found in any of the healing arts. Those who are called to serve others as healers often find themselves involved actively in a healing focus. However, healers can be found everywhere and are not necessarily involved in one of the healing arts. We can find a healer in ourselves if we just allow the healing energy to flow.

I once found a healer while sitting in an airport restaurant. I cut my hand on a broken glass and was bleeding a great deal. A young mother at the next table came to my rescue with baby wipes and healing energy. The cut quickly stopped bleeding and I immediately relaxed under the tender care of the young woman. Healers are always there when you need them. You simply need to allow yourself to receive the healing.

Regardless of which healing art or healer you choose to assist you, it is you who actually heal yourself. For example, you may go to a doctor to set a broken bone for you, but you are the one who generates the energy to heal the break. If you go to a psychic healer, he or she may help you remove energy from your body that has been causing pain, but you are the one who generates the faith to make it happen and who keeps your system clear. No matter what healing path you take or which healing helpers you choose, you are the one who discovers what you need and to whom to turn as a catalyst. The information is within you about what you need to change and who can help you. The information and assistance are always there waiting for you to discover them.

Over the years I have seen many people change from having an outward focus to having an inward healing perspective. They change from spiritual children to spiritual adults; from wanting someone to do it for them, to enjoying their ability to heal themselves. I have also seen people refuse to mature and turn within and heal themselves. We have the freedom to choose healing or to refuse it.

I attempted to assist one young man who had a benign brain tumor. Intellectually, he knew all the right answers about healing both physically and spiritually. Unfortunately, he refused to turn within to himself, the spirit, and to change what was out of balance. He kept on looking for an easy way out of his dilemma or for someone else to take responsibility for him. He went from one spiritual or physical healer to another, seeking someone who would fix him. He tried all of the healing suggestions on a surface level and at the same time, refused to listen to any of the healers he had chosen. His body finally took control of the situation, and his physical pain forced him into surgery. Not long after the surgery, he recreated the identical problem by re-growing the brain tumor. He had removed the physical problem, not the spiritual one, so he was still creating the difficulty in order to force himself to focus within. He continued to seek answers to his problems everywhere except within himself.

A woman I know did the opposite with her healing process. She knew that she had cancer and was receiving medical assistance. In her search for a solution to her problem, she became a member of a group dedicated to spiritual awareness and healing. She learned all of the spiritual techniques to assist her to turn within. She discovered things that she did not like about herself, yet she persevered in her healing. She discovered forgotten painful childhood experiences that caused her to feel intense fear. Her
