This month is commonly referred to as the month of healing, and it offers us all the ability to instigate healing processes.

Here is an idea from the Ari concerning how to pray for other’s healing — and I hope it proves useful, because helping other people to heal is really what our own healing is all about.

The Zohar tells us that whenever a person performs a negative action, the record of that action is literally inscribed on their bones. If a negative action is performed with the hand, for example, the record of that action is literally written on the bones of their hand. That record then serves as the opening that allows negativity to enter.

But when we pray for another person, we literally envelop him in our presence. We may have negativity of our own, but it may not be in the same area that has caused the judgment in the other person. So when we envelop another person through prayer or other spiritual work, their body is no longer open to negativity. That is the way we can protect people — and even change negative energy into positive energy.

Whatever damage was drawing the negativity, it can no longer do so. As it is written, “When each one of us prays with our entire soul and with our whole body, through this we can protect another person” — because whatever opening there was for negativity, we cover it up.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that someone will instantly be healed just because we have prayed for them once. The power of our prayer depends on where we ourselves may be, and we may have to pray for someone many, many times. But the important thing to realize is how, each time we pray, we are exerting an influence. We are having an effect.

This lesson is something that we really need to put to use this month. When we pray for someone, we must realize that we are enveloping them in ourselves, and cutting them off from the influx of negativity.
