Sacred Power: Medical Intuition and Why People Don’t Heal
Humans are blessed with an innate potential, or “sacred power,” the highest aspect of our being and living. However, many of us don’t access this power and instead, live below our potential, spiritually, health-wise and in many other ways. The good news is that Caroline Myss, a leading expert in medical intuition, energy medicine, human consciousness, and higher living, in partnership with Gaia, has created an engaging online series entitled “Sacred Power,” designed to inspire, teach, and gently challenge us to live wholly and with the power of our mystical inheritance.Â
Caroline Myss is recognized for her many accomplishments, including developing the field of Energy Anatomy, as well as her educational institute, CMED (Caroline Myss Education), offering a wide range of online, on-demand, and in-person programs. Caroline is the author of five New York Times bestselling books including Anatomy of the Spirit, The Creation of Health, Why People Don’t Heal and How the Can, Sacred Contracts, Invisible Acts of Power, Entering the Castle, and Defy Gravity. In addition to her books, Caroline is the host of a weekly Hay House radio show and maintains an energetic international workshop and lecture schedule.Â
The series begins with exploring Medical Intuition, an emerging field of science that develops the critical role that inner, or soul healing, has on one’s well-being. It involves the stories we tell ourselves and others about our individual suffering and how it negatively impacts our health. In Myss’s words, “Your biography becomes your biology” — our body’s emotional field interacts with our cells and tissues; our internal and external experiences, positive and negative can be transformed into a source of power and healing.Â
According to Myss, every human being is the owner of an intuitive intelligence or sacred power: “99 percent of the time, you are listening to this intuition, responding to it, and never even notice it.“ Myss doesn’t consider medical intuition a gift that is simply dropped into our laps. She believes it is a skill that needs to be developed and fostered so that we are able to notice, pay attention to, and act upon the “energetic signals” that come our way, every day. But what exactly is “medical intuition” and how do we develop it?
Medical Intuition: Our Body’s Energetic Data Bank
Myss herself would be the first to say that she was an unlikely candidate for the medical intuitive field she helped to create. Despite being a co-founder of Stillpoint Publishing, which was dedicated to books on consciousness and personal development, she had little interest in the subject of the books:Â
“I wasn’t the least bit interested in them. I had no desire to meet any healers myself. I refused to meditate. I developed an absolute aversion to wind chimes, New Age music, and conversations on the benefits of organic gardening. I smoked while drinking coffee by the gallon, still fashioning myself after an image of a hard-boiled newspaper reporter. I was not at all primed for a mystical experience.”
What changed for Myss? She could no longer ignore the deeply profound messages and insights she was receiving about other people’s health. She began exploring her capacity as a medical intuitive and sought out the guidance of C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon. In 1996, they opened the Institute for the Science of Medical Intuition, a research establishment dedicated to funding medical intuitive training for medical practitioners.
More than two decades later, thousands of medical intuitive have changed the way we view and receive medical treatment. In addition to this impact, Myss has worked to empower regular people to learn how to access their own medical intuitive skills. In fact, she believes we are living in a highly energetically charged time in which we are capable of intense transformation, a period she refers to an “Energetic Renaissance” in which the choices we make are drawing more power for ourselves and the world. What does this translate into as far as personal empowerment?
Sacred Power and Healing Tools
Myss defines intuition as the “natural ability to not just sense energetic data that fills this dimension of the invisible world, but to interpret it, to understand energetic data.” She teaches that this ability is ever present; however, obstacles to wholeness and health occur when the data is ignored because we are resistant to the messages. If the obstacles are removed, we have access to a mystical ability, an inner voice which Myss defines as our “cosmic guidance system” whose purpose is the overall management of our well being and optimum health. Below are aspects of our mystical ability to note:Â
- Every person lives in an energy field
- We leak energy, or power, when we are scared, threatened, or stressed
- Energy is never contained; our bodies share stress with our entire being and others
- Our energy field holds “anchors,” energy that targets our cravings, trauma, and wounds and creates psychic weight
Central to the cosmic guidance system and healing tools is the seven chakra system, which Myss divides into two channels: the lower three being our physical world, the one of survival; the upper four, our emotional world with the heart chakra identified as the turning point to the divine energy system. The chakra system contains the sacred energy that is inside all of us, and when we embrace the divine design, we allow those energies to speak through what Myss calls our “bio-spiritual ecology.”
However, despite the availability of this energetic toolkit, Myss recognizes that many people choose to stay in their wounded state, asserting that this state provides a level of social collateral, as well as an accepted form of intimacy. She calls the resistance to healing “woundology” and can be the impediment to transforming one’s personal state of suffering into a font of power.Â
Our Wounds: Breaking Through the Patterns of Woundology
Myss acknowledges that healing is intimidating, that it can change relationships, and literally shake up one’s world. Moving past our wounds into wholeness is not only an act of bravery but is in direct opposition to our accepted social language in which, as Myss says, “pain has privileges…we expect to be rewarded or compensated for our suffering.” Despite this, Myss asserts that we’re not destined to stay wounded; we’re meant to move past the “consciousness of our wounds.”Â
When we heal from our wounds, we move into wholeness and our full health and life potential. One of the challenges is that we have close to no positive role models, or iconic whole people to emulate. Another challenge is that wholeness is often viewed as being an unapproachable, solitary state which can make us feel we will not be able to be in a relationship as wholly healed beings.Â
In the face of the social acceptance of wound intimacy, how do we move past our wounds? Myss counsels that in order to heal our wounds, we must learn the “vocabulary of healing,” moving past words such as “blame” and “deserve” as they represent powerless strategies.
She says that forgiveness is the key to healing and is a “mystical act of the soul.” Our wounds are meant to be healed and while they do happen to all of us, we can choose to view them as critical soul challenges provided to “enhance and build our character” and once healed, we’re able to empower others to do the same.
Myss advises that the next time a friend or loved one begins to speak the language of wounding, instead of adding to that vocabulary of woundology, to make the choice to focus the conversation on a positive and empowering experience. She shares that one of the most difficult choices we can make is the day we stop responding to the power of other’s wounds. Yet, this choice is also liberating and life-affirming.Â
The path to healing requires courage, but it is one that allows us to live in our sacred power, which is our birthright. Thankfully, that birthright is not a solitary quest; it is a shared birthright and Myss believes that all of us are meant to heal and that in the grand cosmic scheme, “we’re all in this together.”
Caroline Myss is coming to the GaiaSphere event center for an exclusive weekend-long seminar“Revolutionizing Spirituality,” on August 16-18, 2019. The unique event will explore “the next wave of expanded consciousness” and provide an intimate and immersive experience for participants. Learn more about this event here.Â

The Power of Positive Affirmations for Money and Abundance
Positive affirmations work at the subconscious level, helping us replace limiting beliefs with thoughts of abundance and prosperity. When we repeat affirmations, our mind begins to accept these statements as truths. This gradual acceptance transforms our perception of money, allowing us to see and seize financial opportunities that previously went unnoticed.
The power of affirmations lies in their ability to change not only our thoughts but also our emotions. By focusing on positive phrases, we cultivate feelings of hope and confidence. These elevated emotions are crucial for attracting the energy of abundance, as our energetic vibrations play a fundamental role in what we manifest in our lives.
How to Incorporate Positive Affirmations into Your Daily Routine
Incorporating affirmations into your daily routine is simple and can have a significant impact on your life. Choose a quiet time of day, such as in the morning upon waking or at night before bed, to repeat your affirmations. This consistent habit reinforces new beliefs and keeps your mind focused on abundance.
To maximize the effect of affirmations, you can accompany them with creative visualizations. As you repeat each phrase, imagine in detail what your life would be like with that affirmation realized. Feel the emotion of already having that prosperity and let that sensation fill your entire being.
Examples of Positive Affirmations to Attract Money and Abundance
Here are 11 affirmations to incorporate into your daily routine. Practice them consistently and watch how your relationship with money transforms positively.
- Money is good, I love it, and it loves me.
- I deserve all the money I want because I am worthy.
- I am infinite and unlimited abundance.
- Everything I give returns to me multiplied.
- Money always finds ways to reach me.
- Abundance reigns in my reality.
- I am capable of generating everything I desire.
- The more I value myself, the more money comes to me.
- I am open to receiving wealth.
- Abundance is within my reach.
- My thoughts create my reality, and I am abundant.
Strategies to Enhance Abundance
To amplify abundance in your life, in addition to using positive affirmations, you can apply other strategies, such as visualization, meditation, and gratitude. These techniques not only raise your vibrational frequency but also align your thoughts and emotions with the frequency of abundance, creating an environment conducive to prosperity.
-
Prosperity Visualizations
Visualization is a powerful technique for attracting prosperity because it connects your conscious mind with your deepest desires. Spend a few minutes each day closing your eyes and imagining in detail what your life would be like if you had already achieved your financial goals. Visualize your surroundings, the people around you, and the feelings of joy and security that accompany your financial success.
To intensify the power of visualization, include all your senses in the practice. Imagine not only what you see but also what you hear, smell, touch, and taste in that prosperous state. This sensory immersion sends clear signals to your subconscious that abundance is a real possibility, making it easier to manifest in your daily life.
-
Meditation to Attract Wealth
Meditation is a powerful tool for attracting wealth because it calms the mind and centers your intentions. During meditation, visualize a golden light surrounding you, symbolizing the energy of abundance. This golden light penetrates every cell in your body, clearing energy blockages and opening pathways for prosperity.
Let the golden light flow freely within you, feeling how it balances your internal energy. This practice not only aligns your mind with wealth but also prepares your being to receive abundance, creating a space for new financial opportunities to flow into your life.
-
Gratitude as an Abundance Amplifier
Gratitude is a fundamental practice for amplifying abundance. By focusing on what you already have and expressing gratitude for it, you raise your energetic vibration, attracting even more good things into your life. Take a few moments each day to reflect on the blessings you have received and write them down in a gratitude journal.
Practicing gratitude not only makes you feel happier and more fulfilled but also opens your heart and mind to new opportunities for prosperity. By recognizing and appreciating what you already have, you send a clear message to the universe that you are ready to receive even more. This positive and receptive attitude is essential for maintaining a steady flow of abundance in your life.
Methods to Improve the Flow of Money
To improve the flow of money in your life, it’s essential to adopt practical methods that complement your spiritual practices. Some of them include:
- Set aside 10% of what you earn each month and gift it to yourself: Save a portion of your income to invest in yourself and activities you enjoy. This reinforces abundance and self-care.
- Always carry cash in your wallet: Having cash with you helps maintain a prosperity mindset. This simple act can boost your confidence in your ability to attract more wealth.
- Techniques to attract debt payments: Use visualizations and affirmations to attract payments for pending debts. Imagine yourself receiving the money with gratitude and certainty.
- Find value in everyday purchases: Appreciate each purchase as an investment in your well-being. Recognizing the value in every expense helps you maintain a positive attitude toward money.
- Ask money to appear in your life: Talk to the universe about your financial needs and ask for money to come to you. This practice keeps communication open with the energy of abundance.
Identify and Change Limiting Beliefs About Money
Besides practicing positive affirmations, it’s important to identify and replace limiting beliefs that may be blocking your abundance. These beliefs, often formed in childhood or through negative experiences, can prevent us from reaching our financial potential.
Replacing these beliefs with positive affirmations can reprogram your mind toward prosperity. Here are some examples of limiting beliefs and how to transform them into positive thoughts that attract abundance:
- “Money is the root of all evil.” Replace it with: “Money is a tool to create well-being and opportunities.”
- “I’m not good at managing money.” Change it to: “I’m learning to manage my money efficiently and responsibly.”
- “You have to work very hard to earn money.” Substitute it with: “I can earn money easily and in harmony with my life.”
- “Rich people are selfish.” Replace it with: “There are many wealthy people who are generous and compassionate.”
- “I will never have enough money.” Transform it into: “There is always abundance and enough money for everyone.”
- “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Change it to: “There are many creative and abundant ways to generate money.”
- “I don’t deserve to have a lot of money.” Replace it with: “I deserve all the abundance life has to offer me.”
