Yesterday, during the introduction to a gazing session with the Croatian healer, Braco, his host, Jane Sibbett, invited me up front to answer the question, Who is Braco? In the moment, my mind went blank and so we ended up just talking about the magical way Braco ended up coming to our home for the 11/11 gazings last November.
So I thought I would say a little here about who or what Braco is to me, and why he seems to be such a powerful force for healing and transformation. To me, Braco is simply a clear expression of our own true nature as divine Presence. When he is gazing he shows us our own limitless potential as compassionate acceptance and love.
Sometimes when we are in the presence of true nature being expressed by another, there is just a nice experience of peace or joy. And sometimes there is a longer lasting healing, transformation or awakening. What is it that allows the deeper transformations to happen? Is it simply a matter of Braco's presence or energy? Or is there more going on?
In years of guiding people in their spiritual unfolding, I have found that it is possible to have a profound spiritual experience of our true nature as aware, spacious Presence without there being much lasting effect. For ages, people have spent time with spiritual masters and had powerful experiences that did not have a lasting impact. There is obviously nothing wrong with a powerful spiritual experience and they can be enjoyed for their own sake.
It probably goes without saying that there is also little or no transformation or healing that occurs when our conditioning or wounding gets triggered and we re-experience the trauma or difficulty. Re-enacting our painful experiences, limiting beliefs and emotional patterns does not usually clear them.
But there is a third possibility; sometimes we can touch both our divine nature and our more human conditioning at the same time. When we have one foot in both worlds, there is a much greater opportunity for the dissolving of old hurts and reactions including any unconscious wounds that can cause our sickness and disease. It is when our human nature touches our divine nature that transformation can happen.
So when we are our most human and vulnerable with Braco is when the most healing or transformation can happen. This fits with what Braco says on a recording that he made where he suggests that when we experience tears in his presence is when we can join with him most fully. It was after a gazing session where my tears flowed freely that my severe nasal allergies disappeared. There is no formula for how quickly or slowly this happens, and so we can just hang out with Braco in person, online, and by watching DVDs or reading the book. Somewhere in all of that the healing can happen.
Is Braco unique or even necessary in bringing this Presence to the experience? Not really. Is Braco a particularly powerful expression of this healing Presence? In my experience he is, although not everyone will resonate with Braco or with any particular healer or teacher. And what a treat that he is also such a simple, ordinary person that offers his gift without a lot of dogma and/or drama. Ultimately, he is showing us our own divine nature. It can appear that the healing is coming from Braco, when in truth it is coming from the depths of the one Being we all are. What a gift when someone opens our hearts to this deeper truth.
