So often we get to a place where what we have done thus far to heal, whether physically or emotionally, reaches a limit. In those moments, we stand at a threshold and sometimes choose to look further into the realm of the spiritual. We find ourselves praying when we didn’t used to pray. Lately, I have been on a quest for discovery and understanding of a branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things—concepts like being, knowing, identity, space and time, which seem less abstract when we connect to something bigger than ourselves. And I am sure I am not the only one to turn to the metaphysical.
We can all agree the world is in pain and turmoil. So in this issue, I asked our wellness editor, Amely Greeven, to peel the many layers of healing available to us in “Angel at My Table.” In the vibrational layer—we are made of matter, energy and consciousness, and vibration is the mechanism that turns energy into sound and light—we can be healed through spiritual connection. But how do we get there? As she reveals, angels are all around us, in everything, poised and ready to help. We need only communicate with them to invoke their power, their support. Many find this mysterious, and it is. But consider this: In Lee Carroll’s The Twelve Layers of DNA, the revelation is that our chemical blueprint comes with quantum instructions. A mystical journey can help us surrender to what is imprinted in our DNA through generations, centuries, lifetimes, universes, and even help clear disturbances, aiding in our healing.
Spiritual healing is a personal odyssey. There is no one right way to do it. It can start with a very simple ask. I like to take a page from my 21-year-old daughter Bella’s songbook. In her new release, Gecko, she incants, “A shooting star once passed me by, i’d been staring at the sky, thinking about you. So i thought to myself, whoever’s up there please send help.”
