Had a big breakthrough related to healing, so of course I'm going to share it with you:
I've healed from a lottt of stuff in my life. Chronic pain/fibromyalgia, OCD, PTSD, menstrual distress & ovarian cysts... I could go on.
My understanding of healing has morphed with each health issue.
I started off, like most people, thinking that sickness was a totally physical phenomenon, and therefore healing could only happen by physical means (taking pills, getting surgery, etc.)
The results from this materialist mindset were slow (if there even were results).
Then I got into “healthy eating,” lifestyle changes, all that.
Again, it took some time for the results to appear, but the difference was clear and consistent.
Then I got ~all spiritual~ and started doing "Shadow Work" to find the emotional root of each unpleasant symptom. “The Body Keeps the Score,” after all.
Now the results were much quicker, but this introspective approach introduced new complications, such as insecurities about what the symptoms “meant” about me. Could I get sick at all and still call myself “spiritual”?
But now, finally, I have begun (successfully) experimenting with "instantaneous healing."
No medicine, money, lifestyle changes, ceremony, or even introspection required.
No long, drawn-out drama of finding the "meaning" of the pain, or "learning the lesson" that the injury wanted to "teach me" blah blah.
Instead,
there is only a simple choice
to be well
RIGHT NOW.
Here's how that played out these past few days — and if you're squeamish about body horror, don't read any further:
Round 1: Return of the Bent Toenail
The other day I accidentally bent my toenail back, about halfway down the nail bed. The pain had me screaming on the floor in seconds.
Then I limped around the house gathering first aid supplies, wrapped my bleeding toe up in gauze, and set myself up in bed with an ice pack and everything like a sad little hospital patient.
I tried to distract myself by Googling things like “spiritual symbolism of big right toe,” thinking I could heal by “figuring out” why I’d injured this particular body part.
Then I realized, that was "wrong.”
I "should" be "present with my pain" instead, right?
That would be the ~spiritual~ thing to do, right?
So I put down my phone and did some deep breathing, as if trying to prove to myself that I wasn’t afraid of the pain.
But then after an hour of that, I decided, actually, I didn't feel like being in pain at all!
So I just decided not to be. 🤷🏾♀️
Even as my toe was throbbing (like it had been hit with a hammer), I overrode my perception of pain with the firm belief that there was no pain.
I decided in my mind that I was already healed.
The next day, I was.
The pain was down by 90%. I could walk fine.
And the day after that, there was no pain at all.
Before you call it a fluke, consider this:
I’d had this exact same injury on the same exact toe in childhood —but back then, I was laid out on the couch FOR DAYS from the pain, and the toenail eventually went necrotic and fell off, revealing a new toenail underneath.
But not this time. Because this time, I chose to bypass (Oh no! Not "spiritual bypassing!" How ~unspiritual~ of me 🤣) that drama, and just be well.

Round 2: A Wild Mouth Cut Appears
The next day, I inadvertently cut my gum, right behind my last molar.
Oh, the PAIN. The PAIN!!!! Mouth pain is some of the worst pain, as I'm sure you know.
My jaw started swelling on that side. It hurt to talk or swallow. My mind was overwhelmed with the intense ache, hardly able to focus on anything else.
And then the anxiety kicked in, as I braced myself for that dreaded, “inevitable” canker sore.
Fun fact about me: I'm kind of clumsy with my mouth. It seems I'm constantly biting my own inner lip or the inside of my cheek, either from chewing my food recklessly or speaking idly.
For this reason, I'm prone to canker sores. Historically, whenever I bite the inside of my mouth, there's a 100% chance the wound will turn into an aggravated canker sore within days.
Doesn't matter if I gargle with salt water, or take lysine, or whatever — a canker sore will appear, every time, and cause me up to another week of misery.
So, out of habit, my thoughts started racing ahead to how awful it would be to have a canker sore right behind my molar. How would I eat?! How would I talk?!
But then, something in me snapped.
I'm not sure how else to explain it, but I got, like, a bad attitude with this cut in my mouth! Like I was fed up with this pattern of mouth pain!!!
So I said, "NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I REFUSE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN. HEAL NOW."
Then I pulled every stop I could think of:
I recalled what I'd learned about "psychic surgery," where people visualize doing surgery on their injury to speed the healing process, so I did that. In my mind's eye, I saw the cut behind my molar stitching itself back together and the skin regenerating, good as new.
I overrode the sharp, throbbing pain with a firm conviction that THERE WAS NO PAIN, THERE WAS NO CUT, MY MOUTH WAS COMPLETELY HEALED, NOW! HEALED NOW, HEALED NOW, HEALED NOW!
As I laid down to sleep, the pain threatened to keep me tossing and turning all night, but I maintained my firm conviction that the pain was already healed, chanted the Jesus prayer ("Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner")… and soon enough, miraculously, I was sleeping like a baby.
By the morning, the pain was 90% gone, just like with my toe.
The following day, no pain at all. The cut had healed, as I envisioned it had.
Sovereign and Free
As you may know, I lead a church, The Church of Immortality — so my mind is constantly meditating on how to do the miracles Jesus did, like spontaneous, money-free, medicine-free healings.
And knowledge is no good without embodiment. So now that I have embodied experience of rapidly healing 2 back-to-back injuries with a simple mindset shift, here’s what I can share with you:
Stop explaining yourself (even to yourself)
There’s no “reason” you’re sick, and you don’t need a “reason” to get well either. Plenty of healing teachers will tell you that you “have to” do this or that in order to heal (“be present!” “stop bypassing!” “relive the trauma!”), but those are just made-up rules that you don’t have to follow, because you are Sovereign and Free.
The sickness/injury is not “teaching” you anything
nor is there anything to learn or unlearn. There is no wisdom to be found in suffering. There’s no test to be passed, and no authority to answer to, before you can be well. You already know how to be well NOW, because you are Sovereign and Free.You do not owe “Time” anything
Time/Saturn/Kronos only has the authority you give him. If you agree to Saturn’s terms & conditions by adopting the belief that healing must take Time (who made up that rule? You did), then you voluntarily enter contract with Saturn and owe him a debt of Time. You may revoke this contract at any “time,” because you are Sovereign and Free.
And speaking of Time,
Being of Light
Around the end of last year, I was praying to God (well, nearly begging God) for my Lightbody.
One day, God finally answered me by saying, like a whisper impressed gently upon my heart, “Stop praying for your Lightbody, and start praying from your Lightbody.”
The message being: I am already in my Lightbody.
My whole perspective dramatically shifted after that.
If there’s any state of being you wish to experience, you must simply “think from, not of.”
Think from the perspective of already-being healed,
already-being wealthy,
already-being in love,
already-being happy… etc.
And just like that,
You Are.
