In as much as a student will not learn what a teacher is attempting to show them if they are not open to the concept, a patient will not heal, regardless of the skills of the physician/healer caring for them if they do not also hold faith in that person and in themselves to recover.  (See Websters': Hypochondria)  All manners of illness are manifestations of the mind or spirit.  Especially troubled mind and broken or dented spirit.  Hence, ulcers, migraines, hypertension, eating disorders...when the body, mind and spirit are not in balance and are not all three nurtured by the person who wields them, dis-ease ensues.

       The role of the healer is to comfort, to administer aid and to guide and educate the ill person on ways to maintain Health.  Yep, folks, Health is not a one time thing, it is maintained constantly through peace of mind, healthy diet and strong spirit.  Too many believe that they are 'weak willed' or do not have a strong spirit.  Surviving day to day requires a very strong spirit.  The ability and the willpower is inside each of us; all you need do is show trust in yourself and love for yourself for that spirit to flourish.  As we love and respect ourselves we find our love and acceptance of others flows more easily.  They have their decisions to make, their lives to lead as we do ours.  We must carry only our problems and see them as challenges we overcome daily.

      Through experience, I can honestly say that the majority of ailments I am asked to attend to are due to self-induced stress. Whether as a society or out of habit, we have become motivated by guilt and self-torture.  It is easier, or so we think, to ponder mistakes, dwell on them and continually kick ourselves than to learn and let go. Say you're sorry for what was done if it is your mistake and let it go. If it is someone else's action toward you, it only holds the power you give it.  Your reaction decides the gravity of the situation and the impact it has on you as an individual, inside and out.  Defensiveness is met with aggression and further defensiveness.  Indifference isn't met at all, it induces more indifference.  Acceptance and release, combined with total honesty, both acknowledges a wrong done, but allows it to become a lesson and furthers growth.  One cannot grow when they cling to past pains that manifest in the physical as well as the emotional.

     All in all, as I bring this page to a close, my message is this..we are responsible for our own Health Maintenance.  No Drug, No Healer, No Miracle Worker can heal the human body without the help of
the Mind and Spirit.  Only you as the patient and 'Keeper' of your own Health can assure that the healing takes place effectively.  Thrive to Live...Embrace Life...and welcome the help of Healers when needed. Their gifts are given them for a reason, just as your life was given you.

Mair Sexton-Jones was born intuit, having communicated with guides and ghosts since early childhood.  At age 14 she began consciously and actively "reading" people's energies and forecasting with the help of guides.  The term "Veil Walker" was given Ms. Sexton-Jones by
guides to explain her abilities and philosophy as she does not separate the corporeal existence from the etheric.  It's this perspective that keeps her so adamant about the connection between mind/body/spirit being most predominant in healing and Responsibility for Self being the utmost requirement in true spiritual advancement.  

Ms. Sexton-Jones, who is also a non-denominational minister, writes unique joining ceremoniesand meditations, by request, as well as doing spiritual counseling and metaphysical teaching.  The list of services available on her website includes her artwork, group instruction, energy and chakra cleansing, readings, and spirit guide communication.  Newest on her list of projects includes joining
the staff of New Age Web Works at NewAgeInfo.com as Director of Marketing and Sales, as well as a new endeavor of an online publication for those of earth based faiths.
