Convergence Healing: Healing Pain with Energetic Love by Peter Bedard (English)

The Nile on eBay   Convergence Healing by Peter Bedard, Brian Sheffield Hunt

An amazing, proven, 10-point plan that explains noninvasive, life-altering practices to help you permanently heal your mind, body, and spirit. Millions of people suffer from some form of chronic pain (whether it be physical, emotional, or existential), and this discomfort silently drains too many of us of our highest potential and our power. Living in a state of unending pain pushes people to the margins of their own lives and robs them of direct access to their most authentic, essential, worthy selves. Pain, ironically, renders too many beautiful voices mute; it cripples the body, leaving too many dancing souls lost. And nobody knows this better than Peter Bedard. One night, seventeen-year-old dancer, Peter Bedard, died in a traffic accident. The white-bearded messenger waiting at the gate of heaven sent him back to Earth with a task to help others heal. After a decade of debilitating physical and emotional suffering, Peter uncovered an empowered, new way of healing chronic pain without medicine--convergence healing. In his groundbreaking approach, Bedard invites us to look at our pain as the greatest source of wisdom we will ever have. Instead of medicating it, trying to break with it, or somehow outwit it, he invites us to surrender to our pain so that we may finally integrate our losses, our transitions, our heartaches, and our mortality and make peace with the everlasting truth of who, uniquely, we truly are. Through the author's own near-death experience and other compelling stories and case studies, Convergence Healing offers a whole new body-mind paradigm for those interested in living a balanced, well-integrated life.

Review

"I did some Convergence Healing with Peter recently and I have to say, not only did I see myself in a totally different way, but he taught me to love the parts of myself that I don't like. He showed me how to stop getting caught in the drama that is my life and I learned to let go of the emotional pain that had been blocking me for years."--Emer Dunne"I reached out to Peter to see if the Convergence Healing process might be helpful for the pain and anxiety I experience, especially around public speaking. The impact going through this process had was life changing."--Landon Lewis, Entrepreneur, Educator"Prior to working with Peter, I was scared, unmarried, and barely able to pay for the appointment. Now I have no debt, money in the bank, almost more work than I can handle and I am leaving for a week-long vacation with my wife. The Convergence Healing process has helped me to truly realize my worth and put me on a path toward higher achievement and greater career and life success."--Daniel Dombrowsky (Film and TV Composer)"Reading Peter Bedard's book Convergence Healing is like having a mentor in a book. If you take the time and make the space to do the exercises, your inner workings will unfold in front of you, and you will stop asking "why" and start living."--Merle Singer, Author, Teacher"Simply put, Peter Bedard and his groundbreaking Convergence Healing process saved my life. I was on auto-pilot, not at all aware how my self-destructive beliefs were sabotaging my personal and professional lives. Convergence healing enabled me to finally purge all the negativity in my life, to value myself, to believe in myself and to actually be free."--Yael S., Entrepreneur, Producer

Excerpt from Book

Convergence Healing CHAPTER ONE The Gift of Pain Pain can only feed on pain. Pain cannot feed on joy. It finds it quite indigestible. --Eckhart Tolle Where does it hurt? I know this seems like an odd way to begin a book, but I honestly want to know: Are you, at this very moment, experiencing some kind of pain? Is your heart aching? Are your bones or back bothering you? Is your spirit agitated or restless? I''m guessing that, more than likely, you are murmuring yes. That''s because pain is the great unifier and leveler; all of us wonderful human beings, no matter how rich, smart, or loved we are, experience debilitating pain at some point in our lives. This pain may be physical, or it may be spiritual or emotional. Or it may be all three. What I''ve come to understand is that pain is one of the most potent forces we will ever encounter, and I''ve devoted my life to helping as many people as I can understand that pain can be a force for good. So, tell me. Are you in pain? When I recently posed the question to a circle of friends, the range of responses I received confirmed what I''ve come to know: all of us experience pain in one form or another, and most of us allow our pain to limit our beliefs about who we are and what we can do. Here are a smattering of the responses I received: "The first thing that comes to my mind is limitation. Not being able to do what I want because of being in too much physical pain." "I knew I was in intense pain when I did not feel anything. I could tell it was my body protecting me from something it knew I could not handle yet." "The first thing that comes to mind when I think of pain is the horrible pain of addiction--right before I finally waved the white flag. No physical pain has ever come close." "Root canal!!!!!!" "The pain of losing a loved one. For me, it was almost unbearable." "When I think of pain, I think of being alone. That is the worst possible pain." According to data released by the International Association for the Study of Pain and the European Pain Federation and endorsed by the World Health Organization, pain reportedly affects one in five people worldwide in the form of mostly moderate to severe chronic pain. With one-fifth of the globe''s population suffering, it is no wonder that we are forever on the hunt for newer and better ways to secure relief from our pain. Over two thousand years ago, the early Greeks and Romans were developing rudimentary ideas about the role our brain plays in producing the perception of pain and ways to counteract this influence. In the nineteenth century, opiates such as morphine were widely used to relieve pain, and German chemist Felix Hoffmann developed the first medically useful form of aspirin from a substance in willow bark. Today, aspirin remains the most commonly used pain reliever and is, in and of itself, a billion-dollar global drug business. And then, of course, there are the opioids such as Oxycontin, which remain overly prescribed despite the high risk of addiction. During my own struggle with chronic pain, I was offered but refused many drugs. It wasn''t until I went in and made peace with the person I was while in pain that I was able to find relief from my pain--without ever needing to pick up a substance, get surgery, or in any other way alter my mind or body. Convergence Healing is about learning to listen to the wisdom your pain has to share, and allowing this wisdom to unlock those parts of yourself that have been shut down, hidden, or otherwise disenfranchised so that you can heal and become whole again. Pain is the ultimate paradox. When we injure ourselves, we feel broken. And we are broken at those moments, but usually not in the ways that we think. That is because pain can be misleading, distracting, or downright deceiving if we don''t meet it head-on. What you will learn in Convergence Healing is how to face your pain''s power with your own personal power. When you do this, you will realize that you are more than your pain. What exactly is pain? Is it a cluster of nerve endings that have been traumatized? Is it an unmet need or longing in our hearts? Is it an unhelpful yet deeply entrenched train of thought? A basic, clinical definition describes pain as "the physical feeling caused by disease, injury, or something that hurts the body." A secondary definition goes a bit further, adding that pain can also be "sadness caused by mental or emotional suffering." The Latin word poena, the origin for our English word "pain," means penalty or suffering inflicted as punishment for an offense. In Greek mythology, Poine was a lesser goddess of retribution, vengeance, and punishment. Many ancient cultures believed pain and disease were punishment for human folly. To rid people of pain, ancient healers used magic and spiritualism in an attempt to appease angry gods, often by engaging in rituals, offerings, and sacrifices that involved a lot of pain. In ancient times, the thinking went: What are you willing to suffer and sacrifice to be rid of your pain? Today, we think of pain as a symptom that should be eliminated as quickly as possible. We spend a lot of time thinking about how to avoid or not feel our pain. So we turn to drugs, surgery, and a whole host of unhealthy behaviors (drinking, overeating, overspending), believing that if we can just wipe out whatever pain we are feeling, we will be good to go. Unfortunately, we have it all wrong. Yes, pain is a symptom of something larger that ails us. It is absolutely a messenger of sorts. How will we ever get the message if we shoot (or medicate) the messenger before we have given it a chance to speak? In other words, in our modern world, which favors numbing out over raw, real experience, we are too eager to eliminate pain and so we miss out on gleaning the wisdom it has for us. Paradoxically, when we focus on suppressing our pain without knowing what it really is, we make it all the stronger. This is when physical pain or mental anguish (negative thinking) overwhelm us and become chronic. This is when we lose ourselves to pain. All of us experience pain. It is a fundamental experience of being a living, breathing person on this planet. There are basically two types of pain we may experience. Acute pain is short, sharp, and often very shocking. This is the kind of pain we experience when we are in a car accident or when we are struck by an intense medical condition, such as appendicitis. Acute pain is usually associated with physical injury, like the excruciating pain of breaking a bone or the crushing experience of having a car door slammed on your finger. Cells in the injured tissue at the site of impact emit chemicals that activate local nerve endings. The stirred-up nerve endings send an electrochemical impulse via the nerves to the spinal cord. The impulse then travels to the thalamus part of the brain and continues on to its destination, the cerebral cortex. This type of pain is relatively straightforward--and short-lived. It is a complex set of neurological reactions that give us a very clear message. Ouch! Stop what you are doing and pay attention to me! Chronic pain is the more insidious kind of pain because it tends to outwit and outlast whatever Western treatments we throw at it. Typically starting out as a physical reaction to some form of accident or trauma, chronic pain, whatever its origin, tends to latch onto our psyches with a vengeance, taking us hostage. Our pain, if left untreated and allowed to become chronic, can take us over--body, mind, and soul. If we are not careful, it can actually become us. We humans tend to experience pain in the three most important realms of our existence: the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual. Sometimes pain that begins in one realm bleeds into another and we experience pain on several levels at once. For example, a woman who was abused suffers deep emotional and psychic pain, but she may also experience physical pain in her lower back or pelvic floor. A man who was unable to protect his family from physical harm may suffer from seemingly unrelated severe neck and shoulder pain, which masks the true source of his pain--his core emotional trauma. Or, an athlete who strains her knee may feel the emotional anguish of having let her teammates down when she is unable to compete with them. Inevitably, when one part of us is injured, it has a domino effect on the other essential parts of ourselves. This is why I believe, from years of working with thousands of clients, that when we experience pain it not only exists on all levels but must be treated on all levels. Physical pain is the easiest type of pain to identify--and to heal, especially when it involves a superficial wound, one that can be seen by the naked eye. Physical pain, because of its obviousness, is also the type of pain we are less inclined to judge. It is a different story when it comes to emotional or spiritual pain. Emotional pain is an affective response to a life event. We all understand the pain of grieving, especially when someone loved dies too soon or leaves this planet suddenly. Emotional pain, unlike physical pain, triggers a process that usually needs more time and attention. How many of us have experienced the pain of stubbing a toe as being "no big deal" when compared to the pain we feel when we have been dumped by someone we thought was "the one"? Though no flesh has been torn or blood shed, our hearts are wounded in ways that will inhibit our ability to lead full and fulfilling lives if we do not adequately process that pain. The same is true of pain that hits us ha
