Goal Setting for Health and Healing
By PETER and ANNE SELBY

As any quantum physicist could tell you, the mind is powerfully creative. The mere act of observation causes pure probability (a wave) to collapse into a particle (an event). Creativity begins with an idea, a vision, or something imagined which gathers energy to itself when given sufficient attention, focus, and intention. Goal setting can make use of this creative principle to manifest particular outcomes and bring projects and dreams into fruition. This article will focus on how to set goals and create desired outcomes in regard to healing.

The first requirements in achieving a goal are to have a clear vision of what is desired and to steadily maintain one’s intentions in that regard.

Many health conditions can resolve when we unwaveringly intend and envision the outcomes we desire. We have used visualization to quickly heal broken bones and have stopped many imminent flus and illnesses in their tracks by seeing ourselves as healthy, consciously supporting our bodies to heal whatever problem was developing. I have used visualization to disappear a chronic, irregular, peanut-sized dark spot on my hand that had started to itch, atrophy, and become scaly. I would see a picture of the spot in my mind and then change my mind’s image of that patch of skin back to normal color and texture. Though the spot had been there for several years, it responded to my thought projections and is now nearly imperceptible, for which I am truly grateful. There are, however, obvious limitations in one’s personal healing powers—illness and eventual death also have their place in our lives. Medical expertise in diagnosis and treatment is an essential part of modern life, and yet a passive approach to our health, wherein we are simply recipients of the hoped-for medical/pharmaceutical cure, can disempower our innate ability to heal at the deepest levels, physically and otherwise.

In goal setting it’s good to take into account the factors that stand in the way of achieving one’s goals and address them methodically. Likewise, in regard to setting goals for optimal healing, one of the greatest obstacles to healing is a “just fix it” attitude. Thus we maintain that “just fix it” can nix it! A lack of curiosity and ownership vis-à-vis the cause of the illness or negative life pattern is disempowering. It is like a goldmine of meaning waiting to be found. In our experience, people who seek awareness of the factors that created a disease experience superior health outcomes.

We just worked with a 50-something physician who had a partial tear in one of the rotator cuff tendons in his right shoulder. Surgery was scheduled mere days away and, given the degree of degeneration displayed in his MRI, the orthopedic doctor was adamant that the surgery was essential. The client took the advice seriously, yet he came to us to explore the cause and significance of the injury at a deeper level. Angelic guidance revealed that his right heart meridian was blocked due to emotional wounding during his childhood, which blocked his ability to take in love. This blockage was reflected in a life pattern of frustrated love relationships. Once the metaphysical factors were identified and the trauma to his heart was released, energy once again flowed in the meridian. To his delight, his pain disappeared and a near-normal range of motion was restored. Encouraged, he postponed the surgery so as to give his body further opportunity to recover.

Another common obstacle to healing occurs when people limit their healing potential through a materialistic/pragmatic “what you see is what you get” worldview. Their healing “plan” includes only mundane modalities of help, thus neglecting higher sources of healing and awareness. In our experience, this is short-sighted.

The role of the intuitive healer is to reveal information that would otherwise be unavailable. For us, the process of getting this information begins with invoking the help of Angels and divine guidance. What is revealed is uncanny. In helping clients understand the intricacies of the background factors relating to their illnesses, we are routinely guided to the I Ching, a compilation of ancient Chinese oracles whose origins trace back to the third and second millennia BCE. Leaders and healers over the ages have turned to this amazing collection of numbered oracles to understand the behind-the-scene factors at play in life’s complexities and challenges.

In our healing work, we are informed of the specific oracle through intuitive receipt of the number of the relevant reading without rational cognitive consideration. The I Ching and other ancient oracle systems such as the Tarot have served unfailingly in our practice to bring light into the dark places of one’s own awareness. It’s so easy for Angels to point to texts that already exist in order to get their point across.

Our job is to receive and effectively communicate higher guidance per our client’s invitation to facilitate new levels of awareness and choices. After gaining deeper insights into the causes of their health challenges, clients actually start the manifestation of their healing with the simple words, “So be the healing of all this.” In that instant, they reveal the power of the spoken word to re-manifest reality, experiencing objective measurable changes in their physical functions and initiating the process of deep healing. These tangible outcomes of healing result from new decisions based on new awareness of the intangibles—negative thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and practices, as well as trauma, disassociation, and energetic imbalances—that went into creating the diseases and physical limitations. Healing can be furthered through unwavering gratitude, affirmations, and visualizing their desired outcomes. Goal setting in the aftermath of healing is just as important as the healing itself; the higher power and divine resources that have co-manifested the healing will continue to help if so intended. Ongoing gratitude and journaling serve to keep track of and enhance the attainment of one’s goals for healing and remind one of the hidden higher powers and resources that are available through sustained healing intentions.

What is happening in the present is what has been created. Say YES enthusiastically to what CAN BE. Set your Goals and know that how you FEEL about your goals is paramount to their creation. Your goals arise from desire and, in the beginning, remain in the realm of potentiality. Through positive creative thoughts and feelings, you nurture your goals and draw to you the resources from earth and heaven that are on the same wavelength as your desires, in exactly the same way as the observer collapses the quantum wave into a particle. Before you know it, the life or health goals you have envisioned will take form. Congratulations!
