GOD’S PERFECT CREATION PART I

When I was little girl I had an “imaginary friend” who I spoke with all the time primarily because I was born the last of four children, five years after you my next oldest sibling and I had no friends my age in my neighborhood. During that time I always felt very loved, inspired, and had time and attention paid to me as my imaginary friend would teach me about flowers, talk to me about butterflies and sunshine. He guide me in playing outside, he helped me create fun when I had nothing to play with, filling a void of companionship and friendship that I couldn’t figure out how to fill on my own. During hot summer days I would run around my house looking for things to do but I’d get so hot that I’d end up running to the top of the hill behind my house where there was a breeze, strip down naked and rush back down the hill to get more of a breeze. This as a five year old was the best way I thought to get cool having never had air conditioning or a pool at that time. When my mother saw this she would try to get me to put on some clothes but my father said to my mother “Oh Barbara, Nicki is just five years old, she doesn’t need clothes, she knows God made her perfectly. Let her run around naked for awhile.” It is true that my parents having come from Manhattan had a far more accepting attitude about our bodies and being naked but also because my father was an artist. As an artist like Davinci and all classically trained artists had been drawing from “life” or nudes for decades. This ability to be able to observe human forms in a truly natural way was part of how we as a family perceived God’s gift of human life to us. My father’s passion for drawing men, women, children was evident as he would say things like “Oh how beautiful the human form is! God is good!” My father’s perception of human form was that God had created us ingeniously and that for what it was he could observe on the surface, the human body was even more ingeniously created inside to cooperate with all of its other parts, that it was able to move and perform functions that we couldn’t even see yet were capable of sustaining life itself. He did in depth studies of eyes, lips, hands, and feet and more. Essentially he was inspired and awed by God’s creation, everything in it was perfect, each baby born was perfect. This was the basis of my understanding of what it was to be a human body with a soul that was created by God.

Fast forward to now when I consider what has been my life’s work to heal, be healthy, and lose or gain weight as needed, what I realized is that my father had always been right, we are made perfectly by God. Just like my father I started out as an artist. I studied drawing in high school, got an apprenticeship at the Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and then went on to study illustration at The Fashion Institute of Technology (which ironically housed the art-based high school my father went to). After that however, I became fascinated by the inner functioning of the human body and how it could heal. The healing part for me was essential as my mother had been in hospitals over consecutive years for a variety of different ailments and illnesses. These were things I had never, nor had anyone else ever heard of like: Pityriasis rosea (common now but not in the 1970’s), Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, cancer, exploratory surgery for esophageal dysfunction (my mother would not be able to swallow on certain occasions) and more. When I recognized that there was something very wrong with Western medicine as it always had side-effects, or produced a result that my mother never had a problem with in the past, or that it always led down a path of more X-rays, MRI’s, tests of drinking vile fluids that would cause everything from diarrhea, constipation or vomiting further exacerbating her issues, I felt that there should be some way to heal without all of that as I knew God and Jesus would want us to. Therefore it made sense for me to investigate the thought of healing. After a lot of research and investigation of healing modalities I decided to get attuned as a Reiki practitioner.

Reiki seemed right at the time as it was subtle however God and Jesus more recently explained to me how it was actually more detrimental because I had unwittingly been opening more energetic portals for negative or evil things to come through as all Reiki practitioners are doing today. When They told me this and asked me to renounce Reiki and giving any sort of psychic readings I did so immediately, happy to do so as I had no idea the devastating effect it could’ve had, except to say that I did pray this prayer before every healing for over 34 years “Dear God please make me a perfect, protected, impervious vessel for whatever it is this person needs to heal, also let me know if I am not the person or experience they need to heal. Amen”

When I was giving these Reiki sessions at the same time working as a group fitness instructor at first and then a personal trainer I recognized a redundant theme that all the clients I had ever worked with were always coming back to me to attain that same goal we started out with. It was as though no one was learning anything new that they would be able to sustain. Which is why I started doing more investigating and research about the reality of how God and Jesus want us to heal, be healthy, and attain our healthiest weight. As a result of that desire to research and study how we heal I became something of a mind/body expert as I identified numerous connections from mind to the body that weren’t being addressed in relation to healing, health, and healthy weight as those doctors, fitness, weight loss, or metabolic professionals would then lose their jobs. What I discovered was a far more effective way to work with the mind and body to effect a more positive change while attaining those goals of healing, health, and healthy weight. Therefore I created the course HEALING, HEALTH, AND HEALTHY WEIGHT SUCCESS pays homage to the fact that God did create us perfectly, we just were never taught how to use our minds and bodies in such a way that would emulate that thought. This is because we live in a culture and society today that has been built to succeed at the expense of others suffering. 

Final thoughts, when we consider how often science was needed to “prove” something that the human body and mind could do or has done. We then have to consider the fact that science which is a manmade premise is actually studying something that it did not create on its own but has to refer to in order to prove anything implies that sort of perfection can not and never be competed with through science or western medicine. We then have to remember that no matter what we experience in this life, God made us perfectly.
