I AM Healed

Those words, along with visualization and God’s healing power, have carried someone I worked with through her healing challenges. After reading my testimony, a woman reached out, sharing how closely our experiences mirrored one another.

I share this reflection believing that what resonates deeply for one person may offer insight and encouragement for others. Channeled healing energy is just one step on the healing journey.

“I AM” is God’s eternal name—ever-present, unchanging, the source of all being.

So when you say I AM healed, you are speaking from the power of God.

A Reflected Experience

Surviving cancer, for most, is rippled with fear. As this woman overcame each obstacle, her power grew, and she shared her journey.

She had wins, and she never experienced loss.

What became clear through her reflection is this: healing is layered. Healing doesn’t always arrive the way we expect, but when it does, it arrives in divine timing and in divine order.

That, in itself, was a win.

Faith

No matter what we do, faith always plays a role. Not the kind that denies reality, but the kind that confirms it by listening deeply. The kind that trusts inner knowing. The kind that recognizes when clarity aligns with confirmation.

This experience did not leave her untouched. There was fatigue. There was vulnerability. There was humility. And still, there was strength. That, too, was a win.

Survival teaches responsibility. It changes how we move through the world and how we offer support to others. It makes us more careful, more compassionate, and more grounded. It also reinforces that advocating for oneself—especially as a woman—matters.

I am grateful for those who trust me as a spiritual healer.

Understanding Your Healing Request

What It Is, and Why it Matters

When people reach out to this ministry, it is often during times of heaviness, confusion, fear, and uncertainty. I understand—because when life feels overwhelming, your first instinct is to reach for healing in every area of life.

But there is a difference between a healing request and a prayer request.

A healing request is focused on a physical condition—an illness, injury, or bodily imbalance. That is where spiritual healing energy can be directed.

A prayer request is for your life—your relationships, finances, emotions, stress, heartbreak, hope, purpose, or guidance. These needs are valid and important. But prayer and healing are not the same.

In this ministry, I honor both—but I do not treat them as the same.

Why It Matters

Healing energy does not fix your life circumstances.
It does not clean up confusion or remove problems.
It does not go into your finances, relationships, or emotional emergencies.

It goes where it is spiritually permitted—most often, directly to the body. 

That’s why clarity matters when submitting a request.

Healing Is Co-Creation

Healing is co-creation between you, your soul, the universal healing energy of God, and the willingness of your body to receive it.

That is why I often ask seekers who use my spiritual guidance service:

“What do you keep telling yourself about yourself?”

Because your thoughts carry energy.
They create vibration.
They shape your experience, and they influence your readiness to receive healing.

Why Vibrational Sensitivity Matters in Healing

Before I send healing energy, I first have to sense whether it is spiritually and energetically permitted.  Not every energy field is open, clear, or ready—and this is where spiritual sensitivity becomes a tool of discernment, not judgment.

A Gentle Note on Vibrational Sensitivity

Spiritual healing is connected to vibration. Everything in life carries vibration—people, thoughts, emotions, environments, even memories.

NIH research has confirmed that the human body is naturally equipped with vibration-sensitive receptors in the skin. Most people never notice them. But for some, this sensitivity becomes more active, more spiritual, and more informative.

That is what happened to me.
It did not burst forth from visualizing or training.
It came forward strongly yet naturally, unexpectedly, and totally out of my control during my first semester at NSSC.

It took time before I learned how to manage it.
Today, it functions as a measuring tool in my healing ministry.

It helps me sense whether a person’s energy field is faint, strong, or heavy with thought forms.

Aura scanning is not done with judgment.
It simply helps determine if we can work together—because spiritual permission must be present.

Rejection is not an insult.
If someone rejects me as their healer—it’s okay.
My spirit also has the right to softly decline what it cannot work with. That, too, is not an insult.

Permission is what matters.

This is why I ask for it clearly on the intake form.
Healing energy helps where it is spiritually allowed.

One request. One intention. One step at a time.

Meditation for Healing

Meditation can be more than relaxation. When used with intention, it becomes a way to help the body and the emotional body release stress and open to greater balance.

As the mind quiets, tension eases, breathing deepens, and the body’s natural energy begins to flow again. This state supports physical healing and soothes the emotional body, allowing it to release stored pain and stress.

Meditation also strengthens the chakra system — the body’s energy centers. When these centers are balanced, energy moves freely and the body’s own self-healing capacity can activate more fully. Pain may lessen, emotions calm, and a sense of wholeness can emerge.

In spiritual healing, meditation creates a space where the emotional and physical bodies can respond to the light of Spirit. The spirit itself is never broken; it remains whole and connected to the soul. Meditation simply helps us align our thoughts, emotions, and physical state so that healing can occur.

Even a few minutes of quiet meditation each day can help the body and emotional body shift into this natural rhythm of healing.

Faith & Action in Spiritual and Energy Healing

Many people understand the role of faith when it comes to healing, but far fewer understand it when the words “distant,” “remote,” or “energy” are added in front of it. Healing in any form isn’t magic, and it isn’t automatic. It’s a process — one that works best when the seeker is an active participant.

Here’s what you should know: Seek, and ye shall find.

Healing is not a one-way street. The healer’s energy can open doors, shift patterns, and create space for healing, but the seeker must walk through those doors and take part in their own recovery.

I know this because I’ve been there. I was a seeker too, searching for a solution and trying anything. My story is just a little different.

  My 1992 Story

In 1992, I got sick with something doctors couldn’t diagnose. I went through tests and frustration. I was desperate for a better life without pain. Then one day, months after they gave me — let’s call it this diagnosis — they had to call it something. Well after all that, I stumbled across a TV evangelist teaching on faith healing. His challenge was simple:

“Try it. Either it works, or it doesn’t. You’re already sick, so the worst that happens is nothing changes — or you get better.”

Desperation Met Opportunity

I began saying the affirmation from Isaiah 53:5 — “By the stripes of Jesus, I am healed” — no matter how I felt. I connected deeply with my inner God, even though I used the name Jesus. This proves you don’t have to be a Christian to use that affirmation — the name carries a healing power because people have poured centuries of belief (hopes, dreams) into it. With that also comes its opposite (faith born out of fear, desperation, lack). I will admit I used that affirmation when I was walking the Christian path. Now I’m following God.

Faith + Action = Transformation

Here’s the key: I didn’t just sit and repeat words. I searched for solutions, explored healing practices, and opened myself to guidance. After six months of steady affirmations and seeking, my pain was gone, and I was off medication. That faith journey became the gateway to meditation, prophetic dreams, and the healer I am today.

It didn’t happen instantly.
It didn’t happen by me doing nothing.
It happened because I took action.

The Role of the Seeker in Distant Healing

When people reach out to me for healing, they are often seeking a fix-now solution. And I understand — I was that person once. But distant healing isn’t magic that erases pain overnight. It’s a collaboration between Spirit, healer, and seeker. The seeker’s belief, openness, and willingness to take inspired action are just as important as the healing energy sent.

The scripture says, “Seek and ye shall find” — and seeking means moving, searching, and showing up for your own healing.

How Spiritual Healing Works

When people witness a spiritual healing session — especially one with no physical touch — they often wonder:

“What exactly is happening here?”

It may look subtle, but what’s taking place is profound.

Spiritual healing moves energy with intention.

But how it moves — and where it moves — depends on the method, the healer, and the divine guidance involved.

Channeling Divine Energy Downward

Rev. Starlene Joyner Burns has studied and practiced many healing modalities over the years. In some traditions — especially those found in metaphysical churches — the energy of God is channeled downward through the crown chakra and into each of the main chakras.

Each chakra governs different emotional and physical functions. For example:

• The heart chakra influences the lungs and circulatory system.

• The solar plexus supports digestion and self-power.

When divine energy flows downward through these centers, it supports healing in the areas where those energies reside. This pathway brings light, alignment, and spiritual nourishment into the physical form.

Raising Energy Upward to the Inner God

In contrast, the National Spiritual Science Center (NSSC) healing modality — which Rev. Starlene has practiced for decades — raises energy upward, from the body toward the Higher Self.

This method activates the spiritual controller, also known as the Inner God — the divine consciousness within each person. It’s a way of saying: “Let the God in me rise up and respond.”

In this approach, the energy isn’t just flowing; it’s working in cooperation with your divine nature to initiate healing, not just physically but also emotionally and spiritually.

This upward movement is powerful because it invites the part of you that already knows how to heal — your spiritual intelligence — to take the lead.

Why Both Paths Matter

Rev. Starlene doesn’t choose one method over the other. She listens — to the person, the moment, and the guidance she receives.

Sometimes, healing energy needs to descend — to fill and realign the body’s energetic centers.

Other times, energy needs to rise — to awaken the Inner God so that healing becomes a divine collaboration.

Either way, healing is never random. It’s spiritually guided and always intentional.

Spiritual Protection When Receiving Healing Energy

When you open yourself to healing energy—you’re also opening your energetic field to the unseen world.

It doesn’t matter what kind of healing it is—spiritual or physical. This applies whether you’re in a sacred healing space, a hospital, a nursing home, or recovering at home.

This post isn’t about fear. It’s about daily spiritual hygiene—the kind that helps you stay safe, balanced, and in alignment while receiving healing.

Why Spiritual Protection Matters

When you’re energetically vulnerable, you become more susceptible to lower influences. And building regular protection into your life—just like brushing your teeth or locking your door—matters.

What kind of energy are we talking about?

• Emotional residue from others around you
• Energies that don’t belong to you
• Lower or disruptive vibrations in your environment
• Energy stirred up by your own negative thoughts

This doesn’t mean someone’s out to harm you. It simply means that energy moves—and you need energetic boundaries the same way you need physical ones.

A Simple Daily Protection Practice

Visualize white light around your body.
Then say:

“The divine light of God fills me, surrounds me, and protects me.”

If you’re religious, use the language and names that feel sacred to you.

“Only energy aligned with my highest good may enter my field. Everything else returns to God.”

This is just one example, personalize it to match who you are.
