She was here trying to love God. I remember wonderingly asking her how she was going to love God if she could not find healing with her father—as she’d said they were distant.
She listened quietly. I asked whether she would like to try a simple way of sending love to him that would help her healing. “Yes.” What did he like? “Cappuccino.” Could she imagine herself in a full skirt and a white peasant blouse making a cappuccino and sending it to him from her heart every day? She could.
Several years later, then in counseling practice, I was told by a slightly older, but still young woman that she wanted to come to me for my spiritual approach while she continued working with her therapist and her support group on the issue of rape.
Although my work with the young woman had been a brief moment, I hoped she, too, would seek therapy, while each day momentarily step away from a damaging experience by imagining her power to help heal both herself and her father through the energy of her heart—with something he loved that was comfortable for her.
Sending Johnny jump ups means—heart’s ease, heart’s delight, tickle-my-fancy, or jack-jump-up-and-kiss me.
My realization is, "We have powerful ability to send love in an image from the heart to one by whom we feel wronged for the purpose of healing our own heart, or to ones we’d like to post love to for the healing of their heart."
