In an earlier post, we talked about Robert Moss’s book, The Three “Only” Things, Tapping the Power of Dreams, Coincidence, and Imagination. This story is in the dream section, where there’s a wonderful story about the healing power of dreams.
An author, Wanda Burch (She Who Dreams) asked a doctor to look at a mole on the sole of her left foot. He determined that the mole needed to be removed. Even though it was just minor surgery, it would mean she would have to stay off her feet for several days. So before her scheduled surgery, Wanda posed a question as she was falling asleep: Why did she have to go through this? Wasn’t there another way of dealing with the mole?
In her dream that night, she was inspecting the mole on the bottom of her foot. “Then a hand appeared from out of nowhere – as if out of a cloud – holding a large black pencil. The hand drew a circle around the mole, and the mole popped off and disappeared.”
The next morning, Wanda looked at her foot – and the mole was completely gone.

Has anyone else had an experience like this?
I think there's a master acupuncture point on the sole of the foot, so that technique definitely makes sense, Toumai.
Interesting story, Theresa!
I should explain more fully by what I meant by saying that I focus on a particular spot of her foot. I actually apply a firm steady pressure, but first I very gently feel around until I locate 'the' spot and then I pin it down and have to concentrate to hold the perfect position or else it slips away.
Very odd, but it works. Odd, the word verification: ""coakies ("co- achies")
;-)(-:
when my chidren were young, rather than giving medication for a headache, I would do pressure points. Usually it would take about 5 minutes and the headache would be gone. Today they do it on themselves.
Same with my partner Cath. Being a carpenter for over 30 years has taken its toll on every joint in her body. This may seem a little odd, but I follow my instinct and focus on a certain spot at the arch of only one foot in particular, after about 10 minutes she feels like a new person.
I think that our own mind and bodies hold immense power to heal. I think they can also cause harm- ie: psychosomatic illness.
Let me add, as a quad from polio in 1959, my mom was often amused that people would look at her wheelchair and splints with horror. Mom saw her accessories as marvels of medical science.
The bone that broke in 2002 was her femur. It brought her to the attention of the medical profession in new ways, and qualified her for Hospice care, which Mom was happy to have, those last years of her life. Hospice professionals are more service providers than the average nursing home staff.
My mom wrote about this happening to her her in 1990. An ovarian tumor the size of a lemon, and she was inoperable. She told the doctors she would have not have any treatment (she made a comment that she didn't want to be part of a medical "practice"). My mom put herself in-the-care-of her divine physician. 🙂
She did agree to a follow up, to monitor the growth rate of her tumor. During those few weeks between the flurry of tests and the follow-up, the tumor had vanished.
In 1990, mom was a quadriplegic for 30 years and her advance directive was already on file. That AD caused issues in 2002 when my dad broke her leg and the medical staff had to determine if setting a bone – and putting her leg in an aircast – was an intrusive medical procedure that would prolong Mom's life.
Fortunately, the hospital staff determined a broken bone was not a life-threatening condition and they could treat it. Mom was not pleased the aircast on her leg was black and made her feel like a creature in a scary movie.
Well said!
oh, you're so welcome – and i must tell you that i have had to educate and re-educate and/or "fire" more than just one or two health care professionals who did not share my perspective on self-healing and other aspects of my health care – i now go into any new health care situation with a little dissertation on this very subject and let them know what my specific expectations are from them – and their staff – and listen, if i see a dying plant in their office on my first visit, or disheveled waiting rooms or peeling paint or whatever, i won't even sit down – or if i am kept waiting an inordinate amount of time, it's over [but not before i let them know exactly why i'm leaving] – those are all clues about the doctor's perspective toward their practice, my health and my life – so, if they don't work out for me, color me finding a different health care provider –
neat post – great subject!!!
Incredible stories, Gypsy. Really dramatic instances of self-healing. Thanks for sharing these!
hmmmmm…many moons ago, i was diagnosed with a "rapidly growing" [uh, bad one] grapefruit sized uterine tumor – but i was mid 30's and just starting a whole new part of my life and simply refused to allow something like that – i told my doctors i would not have it [the tumor] – within 24 hrs of last radiology results emergency surgery for removal was done – my dr had come into my room the night before and sat with me till nearly midnight upset over diagnosis etc and it was i who consoled him – anyway belly opened up and lo and behold, there was nothing there – the doctors were aghast – but i was not surprised – i knew – another similar incidence was when i was about to give birth and baby was transverse – drs wanted to take the baby but i ordered them out of my room and told them i would turn my baby myself – and i did, just by "stilling myself and focusing" – within a matter of minutes when they came back, baby was head down – another time had several cardiac testings showing ischemia – drs all upset but i told them that i was fine, again refusing to listen to their diagnosis – during stress testing i closed my eyes, focused and visualized my cells swimming through unclogged – actually, it was more like i was, myself, "swimming" through my own unclogged arteries during the test – i remember the tech telling me that my hands were making back/forth movements during the test – and i laughed because i actually had been mentally swimming but didn't realize there was a physical movement during the time i was mentally focusing on swimming through – bottom line on that was clean bill of health –
these are rather condensed versions but each incident documented medically
and another similar story during the time of my son's near death experience – but i posted about it some time ago so i won't repeat it here – but the bottom line is the same:
it is so true – anyone/everyone is capable of this – it's really simple – a matter of mind over matter – or belief – or "knowing" that one can –
Good one, Natalie. I've had luck banished warts from my fingers and done the same for my daughter and one other person.
All I did was tap the warts three times, focusing on them, and then firmly say that they would disappear within four days. I think only one vanished in that time frame. The others took longer, especially since one of my subjects didn't believe it was possible.
I think anyone can do it, if you focus intently and really believe you can do it.

Yes, it happened to me a few years ago.
I had a 'growth', about the size of a 10C coin, near my right eye on my cheekbone. I was scheduled to get it surgically removed, on the Tuesday morning.On the Sunday night at Church, I asked that the angels take it away, as I was afraid of the Dr at the clinic. I woke up on Tuesday to go to the clinic and it was gone! The surgeon couldn't believe it, as he had only booked me in the Thursday before. 😀
Aw Rob and Trish ya doggi'es name is Noah,, cool finally something I can(course guess you did mention a while back) relate too… yeah just this month read my first Dean Koontz,(the books been lying around a few years),,, did a couple of pretty coincidental things pages 250,,420 considering what I sent off at the time,, but yeah a Dog named Noah,,,, I will give certain people I might wish to "know" a test and if they can't appreciate Michelina B., Leilani Klonk,,, Noah F. well then that would be it,,, but Curits Hammond now there'd be a whole differnet can of corn… sort of a "dreamcatcher"
No, but it would sure be a nice way of healing. I do believe we can tap into that power, and in the future we will.
