Cat Healing

Over the years, since being introduced to the King Technique of contact healing, I’d had some modest successes in healing. Of course, as with anything else, I’d always found that the more I practised, the more pranayama, mantra and prayer that I performed on a regular basis, the better were the results of the practical application of this healing technique.

What I didn’t realize was how receptive animals could be to spiritual energy. The reason for this is rather obvious to the average metaphysical student, but practical experience is another thing entirely, and very much more profound.

It had been a cold winter in New Jersey in 2002, and in December we had received quite a large amount of snow. I had been preparing for a trip to the American Headquarters at the beginning of January 2003, to be ordained as an Assistant Minister. We had just had a blizzard, which had laid about a foot of snow. My cat, being an outdoor cat, freely roamed the property, both inside and out. She had been quite at home in all sorts of weather conditions, so her frolic in the high drifts of freshly fallen snow was nothing unusual. However, this time she came in with a very severe limp in her right hind leg. Because of the snow and ice, she had probably slipped and fallen.

This was very bad timing indeed, as my departure for Los Angeles was less than two days away. There was not much time to take her to the vet, amongst everything else that I had to do. On the other hand, she wouldn’t be able to go outside while I was gone, so she would have time to rest. If the leg was not healed on my return, I planned to take her to the vet.

Less than two days later, I left for the American Headquarters to be ordained as an Assistant Minister in The Aetherius Churches—a wonderful experience indeed! On returning to my humble abode in New Jersey some 14 days later, I found my lovely, little cat in much the same state as I had left her, limping and severely favouring the hind leg.

I would have to take her to the vet the next day I thought, but first, I would try something else. I picked her up, laid my right hand on her injured limb and visualized the wondrous healing light of God entering and filling every fibre of her frail form. When I set her down, to my amazement, she leapt off with the same vigour and sprightly step that she had had weeks before—as if the injury had never happened, and, what is more, never to be bothered by it again!

What a wonderful thing, I thought, to be able to help such a sweet, gentle and intelligent creature in that way. It seemed that my trip to the Headquarters had really paid off, and that this, which was to me a rather significant and sudden healing, was just one tangible result. Or was it simply that my cat did not need to suffer any more, and I was merely the instrument?

Whatever it was, one can be sure that the practices given by our Master do work, and if we are willing to expend the necessary effort, we not only help ourselves, but all those around us—sometimes in the most surprising of ways.
