But nevertheless, this is the greatest healing there is, is that you can put people at ease. Now if you go back and read the literature through the ages of the great healers that have existed–the mystical healers or the mental healers–you will have to see that the major thing they did was they put people at ease.<\/p>\n
Now that\u2019s something that any one of us can do when we are around people. We can put them at ease. When people go into a place of business that they\u2019ve never been before, they\u2019re not quite at ease. They go into a hotel they haven\u2019t been in before; they\u2019re not quite at ease. They go to apply for a job; they\u2019re not quite at ease. They go to buy something, and they\u2019re not quite at ease, especially if it is a major expenditure of some sort. They\u2019re not quite at ease, is that right Mary? You didn\u2019t want to go buy a car by yourself because you needed an expert along or at least somebody you felt knew more about it than you did. So with someone along, you felt a little more at ease, is that right?<\/p>\n
So when we want to do something that is a healing to anybody or everybody around\u2014let\u2019s say we want to be a healing influence wherever we are\u2014we can put everybody around us at ease. I discovered that quite by accident. I used to be very ill at ease, and I thought that I was the only person in the world like that.<\/p>\n
I got to noticing one day, in spite of myself, that most everybody was ill at ease. I thought, \u201cWell, I\u2019m hopeless, I\u2019ve been working on me for years, and I didn\u2019t get anywhere–but I can put other people at ease\u2014at least for a few minutes\u201d. So I forgot about me and began to put other people at ease; and the by-product was that I forgot about me being ill-at-ease; and I haven\u2019t been that way anymore. So it has a reverse affect on you. So how about taking on as our little activity for this week that we will put anybody and everybody we come in contact with at ease.<\/p>\n
If we go in a restaurant and the waitress is in a terrible state–we can put her at ease or at least ignore her, or we can crack a joke. You can hold back and let a guy get in a slot on the street when it\u2019s closing to one lane. You can wait back and let them all get in\u2014it puts him at ease to a degree. It\u2019s so simple that probably we could say that \u201csimple good manners\u201d is probably the best technique of putting people at ease.<\/p>\n
So, let\u2019s take on as our little chore this week of putting people at ease, and forget about being at ease for ourselves. Let\u2019s just work at putting other people at ease. You might find that it has a decided healing affect all around you. They\u2019re might be some very sick or ill people (that you didn\u2019t recognize or know about) that begin to feel much better by the simple fact that you put them at ease. By the same token, I\u2019m sure it can also have a very healing affect on us when we use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
