Brain Stroke Miracle Healing 9
October 9, 2009 · Print This Article
Great News! My stroke recovery is now complete.
I believe with all my heart that I’m already completely recovered. Regardless of my limitations. Regardless of how far I have to go in my revitalization. I had a Miracle Healing and I believe my stroke recovery is 100% complete.
Doctors say “I’m lucky.” Or “the stoke was obviously not as bad as we thought.” Or “your determination has done this for you.” Or “you’re making great progress.” Or “all strokes are different.”
OK. But that isn’t the whole story.
The story really is about what you believe. If you believe you’re lucky, then you are. If you believe the doctors are always right, then they are. And if you believe that stuff just happens, then it does. And if you believe you’re completely recovered, then you are.
For years I’ve said “what you think, is.” Sadly, that’s not quite true.
Because of all your faculties, of all your abilities, your brain is just too frail to carry the entire load. Now, I’m fairly strong willed. But even I think about throwing in the towel once in a while when the weight of the opposition gets too heavy.
You start off thinking, “I’m going to recover completely.” You write a parameter saying,” I recover completely.” You visualize yourself fully recovered. You buy it lock stock and barrel. You own your complete recovery.
Unfortunately, most of the world disagrees with you. Conventional wisdom says it’s not realistic to recover completely. Especially considering your situation. Better to accept what must be accepted and make the best with what you have rather than dream of things that might not be.
Oh, your friends and family try to get on board, but somebody is always in their ear. A well-meaning doctor who knows and believes all the latest research. A well-meaning article on MSN written by someone who believes people need to be realistic.
God Bless the well-meaning.
Your own pain begins to plant seeds of doubt. You’ve been improving steadily. It’s only been six months. But you are in constant pain of some sort. You still can’t walk without a brace which is hot and distracting and uncomfortable. Your right knee screams as you walk. You type with one hand which is slow going and you only get about three hours before you are exhausted.
You swim for an hour and you are exhausted.
Oh, and when I say exhaustion I mean total physical and mental exhaustion. Overwhelming, debilitating, can’t-do- squat, doesn’t-go-away-sometimes-for-two-or-three-days exhaustion. Regardless of the cause, mental or physical, “stroke fatigue” means your whole system shuts down. You must rest. You can only rest. You can’t even read. Forget physics and Psi books. Even Dan Brown’s new novel is out of the question.
Lord God Almighty! How much television can one human watch without going as crazy as whoever writes that stuff? (Thank God for Nebraska Football.)
And didn’t the doctors say, “you’ll get back 80% of what you’ll get in three months?” Or was it six months? Or two years? All strokes are different, you know. Aaaaggggghhhh!!!
Sometimes the frustration gets so bad you just want to jump in the car and drive to the mountain or the ocean and just sit in nature and recharge your soul. That’s when it hits you.
The state took your driver’s license away. You’re grounded!
So, you focus on the good stuff. You focus on how much you’ve recovered so far.
You’re out to breakfast and you’re feeling good. Your smile is nearly straight, now. Your speech is better. Your right arm and hand are working much better. You can move your fingers independently. Yep, you’re doing good. Maybe good enough for a video after breakfast. Proudly, you decide to try the pepper mill. But your right hand slips, falls on the plate and, bingo, you’re wearing two eggs, over easy, sliced tomatoes and a blueberry blintz.
Very colorful.
Or you decide to invite your friends to a rare treat. You grill the Stone River Salmon your wife froze the week of Stroke Tom. Things go well as you grill the delicacy to perfection. Then you call the gang to dinner and promptly drop the fish on the ground in front of everyone.
Including two very grateful cats.
Pretty soon you start to ask others what they think. Will you ever get it all back? Do you think I’m making progress? What do my cards say? You start reading statistics. You watch stories about how someone learned to live with their disability. You compare yourself with how fast Patricia Arquette recovered on Medium.
It’s all you can think about.
Inevitably, you begin to doubt yourself. You doubt your own ability to recover. It might just be better to go with the flow. Accept your disability. Stop all the struggle and live with what I have.
That’s when you realize how weak your mind is.
Here’s the secret that makes millionaires out of beggars and bankrupts. The secret that makes miracles happen.
You must involve your heart if you want a Miracle Healing. Your heart is far more powerful than your brain. And more loyal.
Your mind can remember a Miracle Healing. Your mind can tell about a Miracle Healing. But only your heart can keep it alive.
It’s not easy. You have to surrender your will to the will of the Universe. Completely.
You must believe…really believe with all your heart… that you can have your deepest desire regardless of what the world thinks or believes.
Believe that God can give you anything you want faster than you can blink your eye.
Believe it. Trust it. Keep it safe and alive in your heart.
This is the secret. This is the secret. This is the secret.
Tom,
Welcome back. I think those last few sentences are everything. The heart is the source of love and we heal from love from ourselves as pieces of the Universe. Thank you for sharing. May the sun shine on you and your heart.
Cliff
Thanks Tom for the reminder.
My limitations are not from a stroke but from a weak mind.
Thank you for helping me to see that I need to keep my dream, my goal, my purpose, etc. in my heart.
You are truly an inspiration.

P.S. Last nights game was truly amazing also. The Nebr. Cornhuskers got their dream back in their hearts in the 4th. quarter.
Tom
You are such a brave man.
The countless people you are helping with your story, its unbelievable, if only there were more people like you this world would be a lot better place.
Is this the reason the Eagles landed by you?,you are the one who can turn something like this around, and not only learn from it yourself but teach countless other people at the same time.
Love to Dianne and the rest of Rich Dreams crew

Hi, Tom
You’re doing great! Keep up the good work.
If you’re getting fed up with all the crap on TV, check out NVALEO. It’s education and entertainment you can’t get anywhere else.
You would also be a great content provider for our network. Let me know if you’re interested in getting your own private TV channel.
Best wishes,
Kent
Thank you Tom for telling us the secret. The secret of the Heart. Simple really, and yet so amazingly profound!
Your story has touched so many lives. Your courage has uplifted so many souls.
Your honesty shines forth like a light in the darkness.
Thank you for caring. Thank you for sharing. And most importantly thank you for coming back to us.
The true miracle in your story Tom is YOU!
I wish you Godspeed on your journey from this point forward. The adventure has only begun. You will emerge victorious.
Love and blessings, Veronica Hay
Yep. Thought + Emotion generates a feeling in the HEART – that HEART IS THE GREAT MAGNITIZER.
Blessings to you *TOM* I see you COMPLETELY RECOVERED IN OR OUT OF THE PORTAL.
Blessings. Always.

Dear Tom,
Thank-you thank-you thank-you,
for your honesty.
You really captured the truth of our human condition.
Love from the heart is the most powerful force for good in the
universe.
God bless you and your beautiful family forever.
Thank-you.
Wow! That’s powerful Tom. The way you put it is powerful.. It goes to the heart.. All I could say is.. thanks. Halim
Winning that game especially how we did it was fantastic. Go Big Red!
I needed to hear this right now. I realized a few months ago that I probably have a mild form of autism which has produced various forms of weakness, some of which you even describe here. And I have a big job which is supposed to be done in two days…
Maybe it is better for me to say less at this point and let Jesus say more: Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly of heart, and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light… (Matthew 11:28-30)
How Hilarious!! I nearly laughed out loud about the fish on the grill (I knew the story was leading up to something, but didn’t imagine that!!!). Also, comparing your progress with TV’s medium; THAT truly is my smile maker for this morning (Gosh, how many of us do that, compare their lives with what happens on a made up TV show!!!)
I had hip surgery 4 yrs ago and remember in the recovering process feeling pain in learning to walk again, and thinking something bad is going to happen. After a time of self pity, I started as you said, Tom, thinking, “Nothing is wrong and I’m coming out of this fine”. Nothing ever did happen!!
Your article is so timely for me! (Oh, dear, am I saying your stroke that made you write the article was timely??!!) I’m facing a number of struggles, and I’m on a warpath to keep my heart out of the gutter.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow what can I say? You touched my heart. God bless and thank you!
Thank you so much for telling your story, Tom. You are truly an inspiration to us all.
Believe… beliefs…. is where everything comes from. It’s time we all started cleaning up those beliefs. Individually, we can do it. We don’t have to accept the “conventional wisdom” anymore. The collective overall thinking, and beliefs of the majority doesn’t have to be our beliefs anymore. It’s brave warriors like you who prove that, and pave the way for others to follow.
Thanks for sharing your story.
This is so wonderful of you to share this amazing journey with all Tom! It is inspiration. And as hard as it is to say, during such difficult situations, I so believe that it all is planned and in this case….look at how many you have inspired and basically gave a kick in the butt to to get going and see what it’s all about!!!!! See what awaits us (not the stroke, the Universal Law) and the power it holds for us. Hardest work EVER but it gets easier…baby steps…
Thank you Tom.
Wow im so happy you well Tom. May god spare you to see many more wonderful years. God Bless you and your family. Thanks so, so ,so much for all your wonderful spritual wisdom emails man, it really inspire me to the fullest, god bless you. Its so true to believe in Gods grace and feel it in your heart his wonderful love and truly believe it. in your heart In my case im forced to live without my kids from a past relationship and always needs Gods grace and peace to get me through my day and how his love works through me because i strongly believe in his love and protection. Take care and thank you so much for all your help too. God Bless always. XXX
Hi Tom,
What you share here is so profound, true and potentially helpful to those who choose to recognize and see the power behind it.
I know because I’ve personally experienced the “miracle” in my own life due to exercising the same chosen way of “being“ that you mention.
In my case it wasn’t me that the “miracle” happened to directly, but rather involves my son who was 3 weeks old at the time.
Although I won’t go into great depth regarding the seriousness of the diagnosis, our “miracle” happened in a hospital emergency room one evening where it was determined that an emergency surgery was “necessary.”
Like you, I can be strong willed at times. I’ve always been the type that felt the need to “fix and figure things out” for those I love.
Until this particular evening I suppose you could say I was pretty effective at doing that.
On this particular night though, I was introduced to the realization of just how helpless I was and that our physical way of “fixing and figuring things out”, although it can be somewhat effective in a physical and finite kind of way, isn’t where our “true power” lies.
Being forced into a place of “acceptance” that there was nothing I could “do” personally in the “physical sense” of the word that evening in the emergency room, and “surrendering” to the fact of how “real and true” that was, combined with a projection of “unconditional love” for my son turned what was “perceived” as being so “real, right, true and necessary” in one moment into something that wasn’t a few moments later.
My son “needed surgery” and then he didn’t.
There was no “time” involved with the exception of those few moments that I chose to project love and…as forced as it was…simply surrender.
I think it’s important to add that intense fear, doubt and worry were present as well due to the “perceived reality” (the seriousness and complexity) of the situation.
Yet a strong projection of love combined with acceptance of my helplessness to “do” or “fix” anything personally which led to my total and complete “surrender”, created…or should I say allowed what most would “perceive” to be a miracle to unfold.
My personal conclusion is…
Fear, doubt and worry are only made real and experienced due to our individually held “perceptions” of truth.
Love is the “Higher Truth”..a chosen way of “being” that overshadows all “externally acquired perceptions” regarding potential and possibility and has the power to create “miracles” even when fear, doubt and worry are equally present.
Being the “Ultimate Vibration” from where all other “vibrations” are made possible, Love transcends our individually chosen “beliefs” as to what we “perceive” as being real, right, true possible, or not possible” in a world of polarity and duality.
Polarity and duality are non existent at the Love level (the field or quantum realm) from where all experiences in the Newtonian world ….whether “perceived” as good or bad are drawn from and made real and possible.
Love combined with complete and total “surrender” transcends time and space and yes even intellectually held “limiting beliefs” based on fear which “allows” the immediate unfolding of “desired” miracles to become “real.”
It makes the “impossible”…possible regardless of our individually chosen perceptions.
I’m convinced that time and space only become factors as a result of our own “unconscious choices” when we choose to get in our own way and “allow them” to be which is exercised through a choice to “resist.”
At that time, I’m not certain that I could have projected the same intensity of miracle creating Love for myself that I was able to for my son. I’m pretty certain I wouldn’t have been able to enter into this place of surrender had the possibility existed for me to “fix things” and/or “figure things out” myself.
What I am certain of is that Surrender is key in creating BIG results. It allows Love to do His/Hers/It’s job in a “desirable” kind of way which are often “perceived” by us as being miracles.
I say “perceived” only because I’ve come to believe that every second of every minute of everyday is a miracle. A creation unfolding perfectly, precisely and harmoniously just as it was intended.
I’ve also come to believe that the only thing that determines the kind and quality of the countless “miracles” experienced by us each and every day, is the incredible and irrevocable gift of “free will” provided to each of us to choose our paths individually. To choose…whether consciously or unconsciously” what we ourselves are choosing to “be” in each and every moment.
Love and fear are chosen ways of being but what I’ve come to believe to be more important in creating “miracles” is surrendering and accepting which in essence “allows” Love to shine through.
Surrender and/or resistance are chosen ways of “being.”
Based on my experience I’m convinced that desired miracles are made real regardless if love or fear is our individually chosen way of being should we make the choice to surrender to either.
Not quit…but surrender. Not lose hope or sight of the desire but “accept” what is as “the greater good that it is.”
Surrender is a “path” and resistance is a path. Both create an effect…an outcome and it’s only our individually chosen judgments and perceptions regarding the outcome experienced that determines in our own minds what it is or isn’t for us individually.
But the “Higher Truth” is, it’s always a miracle. Creation always is.
I’ve found choosing to project Love (desire) combined with a willingness and a “conscious choice” to surrender in spite of experienced fear, to be the “short path to allowing “desired“ miracles to unfold.
There’s more to our miracle than that. Additional events that preceded that evening to validate just how much of a “miracle” it was. For the sake of “time and space” I’ll include the URL below if you’d like to get the “whole story.”

To Your “Timeless” and Complete Recovery,

Tom – I don’t care how exhausted you get, swimming for an hour is GREAT. Keep it up. You will get there.

Life can change us in an instant……and our heart can heal us in an instant. If you could only feel the energy your blogs are sending to the Universe as we all can. WE BELIEVE……….know this when it gets tough to do it on your own. IT IS DONE. NOW LET IT HAPPEN. THEN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TEACH US.
Namaste,
Dharma
Tom,
Thank you thank you so much. This blog has brought tears to my eyes. It’s sad for me to say, but I lost my mother just 4 weeks ago now and I so wish my mum had the same vision as you. The same heart and soul that has helped you recover. You believed you would that’s exactly why you have. My mum, bless her didn’t believe she could get better so she didn’t. I tried to encourage her to feel she could, but she just gave up because she believed she wouldn’t recover. The day before she passed away I saw her face how the light had gone out in her face, and she passed away the next day.
Tom, as sad as this is for me, it is also a time for me to celebrate my mum’s life, she was a great mum. Your brilliant come back from Stroke Tom has only reinforced the fact of what I thought I knew about how our thoughts contribute to our health, it’s the belief in our hearts that keeps us well.
Tom, even though you are recovering, you are still passing on your special message and we are all grateful for you doing so. Please rest all you can.
Many blessings,
Linda
Tom, I’ve been listening to you talk and reading what you write for 35 years, and I never get tired of it.
You’ve faced challenges before, but from this challenge comes the deepest, most honest, and funniest writing you’ve ever done.
I have no idea why you are having this experience, but God must have a sense of humor.
Just when we’ve done all this work, and everybody around us expects us to have the answers, life delivers a gigantic, unexpected pile of crap in our lap.
Then we can either quit, or dig deeper and recommit ourselves to manifesting our deepest desires.
I’m holding a deep desire for you to experience a full recovery, and robust health.
We love you.
Jill
