For guidance, let's turn to Frank Fools Crow (1890– 1989), one of the most respected Lakota healers. Fools Crow considered miracles normal, and he performed hundreds if not thousands of them. 6 He didn't perform them to seek fame or glory; rather, he wanted his patients to know they had the power to be healed, and to even perform miracles, great and small, as well. His role was to serve as a clean or hollow bone, and allow the Greater Spirit to fl ow through him. How did he accomplish this? When someone was sick, he would prepare a bed for them under the stars or in a place where there was nothing between them and the higher powers. 7 In other words, he helped remove the obstacles between them and the Greater Spirit, the One, or the cloud of possibilities. Then, he would get out of the way and ask these higher powers to assist. He would focus on the need and let the Presence do the work. One of our tasks is to help our clients hold this type of focus. Are they full of self-doubt? Perhaps we can encourage them to direct that energy into activity, which represents the transformation of substances. Do they work all day in a cubicle? How about if we support them in taking lunch breaks outside, thus communing with nature? We can assist clients with making these types of decisions, if we can pinpoint what they really need. At this point, our job is to help alleviate or remove the impediments to positive change. We are skilled healers; everything in our toolbox is oriented toward this. By becoming open to our own form of intuitive or spiritual guidance, we will naturally perform the healing maneuvers that can call forth grace and change. Ultimately, we don't know what miracle will appear, big or little. Neither do we know when it will occur. Our clients' muscles might release hours after a session. A revelation might strike them that night in a dream. In the end, what it really takes to move a possibility into a probability, and then into a life, is to know that miracles are constantly occurring, and that through love and the administration of our skill, we can assist.
