‘because we are loved’
Healing sessions and ideas based on ‘the love that we are’
You can listen here to a video of Jacci talking about her own experiences and learning from over thirty years of healing, with ideas taken from her new book ‘Talk Hope, Healing & Being a Survivor’. She adds more skills and tools she has learned along the way, in this continuous journey of ‘riding the rapids’ of life’s health challenges, and being your own best guardian. Jacci talks mostly about dealing with physical health challenges, but her first experiences of healing came from dealing with chronic anxiety and insomnia as a student, and everything talked about here can also help us with healing our mental and spiritual health.
Healing with love, hope, and light
in three dimensions
This set of eleven short videos each invite you to heal in three sets of three dimensions:
1) love, hope, light
2) be filled with, held by, simply be
3) affirm, visualise, feel
So, firstly we enjoy connecting to love, hope and healing light, as three different aspects of the energy of One Love. We also do this in three different ways: by affirming that we are 1) filled with, 2) held and surrounded by and then 3) that we simply are the love, hope and light. We can be healed by this threefold affirmation.
We can also enjoy visualizing the love, hope and light inside and around us. We can use any positive symbol that comes to us, perhaps from nature, or act, or a coloured light. I see love, for example, as a butterfly, that fills me with hundreds of butterflies inside. You may see love as a flower or shape or whatever feels right for you. And this can change! The idea is to enjoy your practice, and, as well as 1) affirming with an inner statement or words, and 2) visualizing with images, you can also allow yourself to 3) feel the love, hope and light that you are, inside you and all around you.
The more you practice and let go of reservations, the easier and stronger this threefold practice will become – until it can become ‘second nature’ to you, to know the love, hope, and to be healed by the light. Healed mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Because the more you re-connect to the love that you are, (the love we all are), the more you can find true healing inside you. And peace and courage and happiness.

If you have a specific illness or disharmony inside of you that you want to send healing energy to, you can imagine that part of you during some of your practice, and, if you choose, fill it with healing love, hope, and light. I can honestly confirm that the more you practice this, the easier, stronger, and more enjoyable the healing will become.
Healing a problem or illness is on a different energy level to ‘curing’ it. You can read my FREE to download book ‘Talk Hope, Healing & Being a Survivor’ on the Books page to understand this more. We may not always be able to be fully cured of a dis-ease of our body or mind, but we can always, always be healed.
When you affirm, visualize and feel hope inside of you, you can if you wish, as well as imagining a symbol of hope (such as an angel of hope, or a bird, or wings, or even a smile), you can practice imagining something you can really hope for, and dream of, being real. For example, I imagine myself climbing with loved ones to the top of Blencathra Mountain, in Cumbria, and I see myself there, fit and strong, standing on the summit in the sunshine. We can use the energy of hope inside us, to believe in and help create our positive futures. Or at least to help ourselves move our energy in a good, uplifiting, strong direction. With love.
Remember, if we can allow ourselves to practice feeling and imagining being filled with and held by one love, it takes only another brave step to enjoy actually being that love, that healing light, that hope.
So, here are the videos, recorded near a stream and with birds all around. You can follow each short recording separately or, if you have 40 minutes, enjoy playing them all through together as one, by choosing to ‘Play All’ on the YouTube playlist. CLICK HERE.

Healing with prayer to God
These two recordings are connected to the sequence above and are for people who connect to the universal energy of One Love as God. We use this name for divine unconditional love in these affirmation prayers. You could also use whatever name for divine love works best for you in your own faith.
In the first one, we enjoy being filled with, held and surrounded by, and simply being, God’s love, hope and healing light. Feeling the love of God inside and all around us, and being healed by this all-encompassing love.
The second video takes us into a deeper balance of faith, as we practice and allow our trust in God’s love to develop inside us. As well as self-determination giving us the passionate energy of hope and positivity to become well, as we affirm ‘all will be well’, we also let go, as much as we can, and put our trust in God. We put ourselves into God’s loving hands as we say, ‘God willing’ (which is said with different words in many faiths), meaning that we know God’s love for us will always be there, and God’s ultimate wisdom will see us through. Whatever happens.
Such trust takes faith and may feel difficult at times, especially when life doesn’t go how we had hoped. It’s important not to judge ourselves and just to let the trust develop, even to find it a relief, a ‘letting go’, as we surrender to being held safely no matter what. Simply let yourself be with the prayer, and let the words help you find your own settling place, just for now, in trusting God’s love.

A Healing Treat Box!
Here are five videos which bring the focus of all our healing sessions together into one great set! We have a two-part detailed meditation (which can be followed in one continued practice if you choose), a prayer/affirmation for peace within us, a brief glimpse of a damselfly as our symbol of transformation, and a Healing Prayer for us all, of all faiths or none.
Please see the Playlist ‘A Healing Treat Box’ (CLICK HERE), on the You Tube channel for helpful details about these videos, (including the words to the Healing Prayer), and for notes on personal self-care responsibility for the meditation practices.
Do please remember that the more you practice the healing affirmations about love, hope and healing light being within you and around you, and about being loved by God (by One Love), either by following the recordings or by repeating the affirmations to yourself, on a walk or in your daily life – saying the words to yourself, seeing the images and feeling the energy – the more this healing love will become a natural part of who you are.
As an example, I felt unsure for a while about being loved by God, (by the ‘Universe’, by ‘One Love’) when times were hard, so I repeatedly practised the affirmation “God loves me” as part of my ‘walking meditation’, when out on my recovery walks each day, after surgery. I looked up at the sky and affirmed and imagined being loved, and I can honestly say that the repetition of these hopeful words really did make feeling loved by God clearer, stronger and more ‘comfortable’ within me each day. Until I couldn’t imagine not feeling such love! Such a simple and powerful healing practice…positive repetition! And by repeatedly saying and feeling inside ourselves, “I am full of healing light”, seeing that light of love filling us completely inside, in parts that are unwell and all the rest of our body, is such a wonderful healing thing. Enjoy your healing!

Why do I use the dragonfly as a symbol for ‘the love that we are’? Because dragonflies (and butterflies) are symbols of the self-realisation and transformation, which is a great potential within us all. A transformation which we can activate, not by trying ultra hard, but by letting go to a simple awareness of the moment we are in right now. This mindful process itself, with practice and without any further complexity, can become our healing. In our ‘be-ing’ as human beings, we can remember the grace, resilience, and happiness of who we are.
Mindful Meditations
You can find various sets of Mindful Meditations, guided by Jacci, on the MEDITATIONS page. Good to explore!
Deep Relax Visualisations on the You Tube channel ‘the love that we are’ (@thelovethatweare)
Click here to view ‘the love that we are’ You Tube channel…
This channel has several ‘playlists’, with collections of videos made by Jacci on specific themes. These include mindful meditations, simple awareness in nature, the Serenity Prayer, ‘all will be well’ reflections, ‘be still and know’ meditations, sounds by the sea, readings of poetry, plus deep relax healing visualisations. All the videos are made in beautiful settings, by trees, river, sea, and flowers. Plus, a lot of birdsong.
Here are three deep relax healing visualisations from the channel.
Please do not play these videos while driving or operating machinery, or while under the influence of drink etc. If you have mental or neurological health problems, please seek medical advice before following these deep relaxations. Always be assured that if any cause for alarm occurred while doing these deep relaxations, you would naturally come ‘out’ of them and be alert again, but please take responsibility always for yourself and people under your care, to make sure before you begin that you are in a good place for deep relaxing.
The first is a simple deep relaxation to find peace inside us.
The second helps you go further down into your own private ‘sanctuary of peace’ within your body and mind.
The third is a deep cleansing relax by the river, to help us let go and heal our dark emotions.
Sources of wonder
The You Tube channel also has videos which simply connect us to the joy of nature. Some have no words, and simply marvel at flowers, river, tadpoles, caterpillars, while others enjoy nature with words of faith in the divine wonder of One Love. Here is one, with a great sky, featuring swallows just returning from their long flight across thousands of miles from Africa. They have found their way ‘home’, as we all will.
