Praying for healing.

When you pray for someone who is ill, and you pray for healing, you can pray simply that another be fully healed, but you can also importantly pray to see the beauty of that person, the qualities that are cherished. You see what needs to be nourished and strengthened, and it is the energy that comes from that recognition that provides the healing to take place, for that healing comes from an acknowledgment of what is beautiful in another person.

The nature of healing itself is not what you demand. It’s what you recognize. There are cultures that acknowledge that healing is as much a spiritual as a material change or evolution. You pray for others to be healed of ailments, but in the truest sense, you are strengthening the others to enable them to find healing and to feel healed.
