Why Didn’t My Healing Work? The Consciousness of Healing

February 3, 2026 / Martha Blessing /

When You’ve “Done Everything” without lasting results

If you’re asking “Why didn’t my healing work?” you’re not lazy, broken, or doing something wrong. You’re asking the right question—but most healing systems don’t know how to answer it. People come to me after medicine, after holistics, after therapy, after prayer, after doing “all the right things,” and they’re still sick—or the illness came back. What you’re bumping into isn’t a failure of effort or belief. It’s a breakdown in consciousness. Healing doesn’t happen because you try harder. It happens when something fundamental shifts in how you’re oriented to life, God, and yourself.

Healing Doesn’t Fail — Consciousness Does

This is the part no one wants to say plainly: healing itself doesn’t fail. What fails is staying in the consciousness required to sustain it. Most people begin healing from a place of fear, survival, and urgency—I need to fix this, I need to save my life, I can’t let this get worse. That consciousness can initiate change, but it cannot complete it. Healing requires a shift out of survival and into truth. Until that happens, the body will keep expressing the same distortion in different forms.

Illness Is Often a Spiritual Awakening — Not a Punishment

Illness is not God punishing you. God does not give disease. God does not “test” people with cancer or chronic illness. That belief alone keeps people trapped in shame and separation. Illness is more often a wake-up call—a moment when the false structures you’ve been living inside can no longer hold. For many people, illness is the first time the soul gets loud enough to interrupt a life built on sacrifice, fear, or unworthiness. Awakening doesn’t always feel peaceful. Sometimes it feels like everything falling apart.

Why Medicine and Holistics Eventually Hit a Wall

Medicine treats the body. Holistics often manage symptoms more gently. Neither one, on its own, addresses the soul-level separation that creates illness in the first place. That’s why people improve and then relapse. That’s why symptoms migrate. That’s why “nothing sticks.” If the consciousness that generated the illness remains intact—fear, shame, survival, self-abandonment—the body will continue to speak it. No amount of protocols can override that.

When Healing Becomes About “Saving My Life”

One of the most revealing moments I hear from clients is when they say, “I’m doing this to try to save my life.” That sentence tells the whole story. It’s rooted in survival consciousness—the belief that life is about to be taken from you and you must fight to keep it. True healing doesn’t come from trying to save your life. It comes from re-entering it. From reconnecting to the river of life where you cut yourself off—often long before symptoms appeared.

Cancer as a Case Study — Not the Whole Story

Cancer makes this dynamic impossible to ignore, but it’s not unique to cancer. In the case I shared on the podcast, the illness showed up in the lower body—root chakra territory: safety, security, survival. A lifetime of trauma, indoctrination, shame, and fear lived there. Healing began, real clearing happened—but when the work stopped before the tipping point, the consciousness of survival remained. The cancer didn’t “come back” because healing failed. It returned because the underlying separation was still present.

Why the Mind Cannot Heal What It Created

This is where Light Language and praying in tongues matter—not as concepts, but as mechanisms. The rational mind cannot heal what it constructed. Stories of unworthiness, punishment, guilt, and fear live below thought, in the body and soul. Spiritual language bypasses the mind entirely and allows Holy Spirit to restore truth directly in the body. This is not mental work. It is embodied realignment.

Why People Stop Right Before the Tipping Point

Most people stop when healing asks for stillness, consistency, and surrender instead of effort. They want relief—but not transformation. They want to get back to life, not let life reorganize them. Healing requires staying long enough for the consciousness shift to stabilize. When people stop early, they assume the work didn’t work. In reality, they were standing inches from the tipping point.

You Didn’t Fail — There’s Just More Truth to Restore

If your healing didn’t work, it doesn’t mean you failed. It means there is still separation asking to be seen—fear, survival patterns, sacrifice, shame, the belief that you are unworthy of life itself. Healing continues when those distortions are released and the true God-self is allowed back into the body. This is not about fixing what’s wrong. It’s about restoring what was always true.

Experience This for Yourself

This work isn’t something you debate or analyze—it’s something you experience. If this resonates, I invite you to join a Wednesday night group transmission, book a private session, or begin with the free Light Language Attunement . I’m not doing the healing for you. I’m allowing God to move through me so your own Holy Spirit can restore what’s been distorted at the soul level.

Healing doesn’t fail.
Consciousness shifts.
And when it does, the body follows

Frequently Asked Questions

Why didn’t my healing work even though I did everything right?

Because healing doesn’t complete at the level of effort, compliance, or protocol. Many people initiate healing from fear and urgency, but sustaining it requires a shift in consciousness. When survival mode remains intact, the body continues to express the same distortion—even if symptoms temporarily improve.

Does this mean spiritual healing doesn’t work?

No. It means spiritual healing is not a one-time event or a quick fix. Healing works when the underlying separation—fear, shame, unworthiness, and survival consciousness—is actually resolved. When the work stops before that shift stabilizes, it can appear as though healing failed.

Is illness a punishment or a sign I’m doing something wrong?

No. Illness is not punishment, and God does not cause disease. That belief alone keeps many people trapped in shame and self-blame. Illness is more often a wake-up call—a moment when the soul interrupts a life built on fear, sacrifice, or disconnection from truth.

Can illness be a spiritual awakening?

Yes. For many people, illness is the doorway to awakening. It forces a reckoning with how life has been lived, where truth has been abandoned, and where survival replaced presence. Awakening doesn’t always feel peaceful—sometimes it feels like everything falling apart before it reorganizes.

Why does illness come back after healing or treatment?

When symptoms return, it’s usually not because healing didn’t work—it’s because the consciousness that created the illness was never fully shifted. If fear, survival, or unworthiness remain active in the body, the pattern will continue to express itself, even after medical or holistic improvement.

Is this saying I shouldn’t use medicine or holistic treatments?

No. Medicine and holistic care have their place, especially in acute situations. But neither addresses the soul-level separation where illness originates. True healing requires addressing consciousness alongside any physical treatment, not replacing one with the other.

What does consciousness have to do with physical illness?

Consciousness is the field from which the body takes instruction. When someone lives in chronic fear, shame, or survival, the body organizes around that state. Healing occurs when consciousness shifts back into truth, safety, and connection—allowing the body to reorganize accordingly.

Why can’t the mind heal the body?

Because the mind often participates in creating the problem. Stories of punishment, fear, and unworthiness live below conscious thought and are stored in the body and soul. Healing requires bypassing the rational mind and allowing truth to realign the system at a deeper level.

What role does Light Language or praying in tongues play in healing?

Light Language and praying in tongues bypass the thinking mind and allow direct spiritual realignment. They work at the level of consciousness and soul imprint, helping restore truth in the body without relying on mental effort or belief.

How do I know if this work is for me?

If you’re asking “Why didn’t my healing work?” you’re already at the threshold. This work is for people who are done chasing fixes and ready to address the deeper cause of illness—consciousness itself.

Full Episode Transcript

00:10 I want to start out by saying… 00:12 I, despite having reversed a rare incurable cancer and having been a nurse in Western medicine for 25 years, this information is not intended 00:22 as medical advice. It is intended as education, and so, always continue to check with your healthcare professionals and practitioners. But what I’m talking about today in the podcast 00:36 Is something near and dear to my heart. As I said, I lived, you know, and moved through healing a rare incurable cancer, and this is what I call spiritual prescriptions. 00:48 and spiritual… spiritual prescription for healing cancer, right? Because… What happens? I… 00:57 see, feel, hear dimensions throughout space and time, and the body. So when somebody comes to me, who has been a client for many years, and that’s what I’m talking about today, it’s a case study about someone working on healing cancer, and understanding and recognizing that 01:16 We don’t… 01:19 My personal belief is, you know, some people will heal with just doing chemotherapy or just doing medical treatment, but… 01:27 literally in the last week, I’ve… I’ve seen 10 people die from healing, you know, not healing cancer, right? And what the medical world has to offer. And I deeply, intuitively know that as we move into a new Earth, and we move out of this medical cobble. 01:44 And the indoctrinations and the beliefs that have been fed into us. 01:50 about cancer. 01:53 it is going to be a shift, and so people are understanding that. They are beginning to understand and step away from, I don’t think this is the proper treatment for me, or if I stick with the medicine. 02:07 What else do I need to be doing? 02:09 And those of us that are seekers, spiritual seekers, spiritual, expansion, and empaths, we have a feeling, we have a knowing. We have an understanding that there’s something bigger that’s going on in healing. 02:24 Right? It’s spiritual healing, it’s soul healing, it’s where have we gotten lost in the separation. So, with all that being said, let me get into the meat of this, because I want to help people understand… 02:40 That you haven’t failed at healing. 02:43 And that you’re not being punished by illness, or God isn’t punishing you why you got cancer. 02:51 Okay, so I’m going to give you a case study from a client that I have been working with. 02:56 And so when she first came to me, she was… in remission. 03:02 Or her treatment had finished for her cancer. And, you know, I’m not naming names, and again, I share these case studies for you to understand real-world, real-life application. 03:18 And also the work that I do, okay? So… 03:22 Because she came and she was like, does this stuff really work? Like… 03:26 Are you sure about this? Does this really work? 03:29 I know what I’m certain of. I know how I reversed cancer. I know what the mechanism was for how I reversed cancer. 03:37 I’m not different. She wasn’t made different than I was made. We are same soul, same spirit, same 03:46 child of God in the one mind, in creation. 03:50 Okay, so it’s not… God isn’t in my favor, or her favor, or not in her favor. 03:57 So she came to me, she was, after her treatment, but she was still having some symptoms. And her cancer was in the lower part of her body. 04:09 And so… 04:10 That would not surprise me, right? Number one, you know, and in the digestive tract, right? So, number one, about letting go. So, what were the things that were happening when she reached out to me a week or so ago, and she said, you know, the cancer is back at stage 4. 04:27 That breaks my heart. I tell people, stay… stay in the work, right? Because it’s not… 04:34 She said, well, holistics, the email said, holistics didn’t work for me. That’s not true. 04:40 This is… my work is not holistic medicine. 04:46 So part of that is a misunderstanding, an ignorance, not… not truly an ignorance, and that is a lack of information. 04:56 And how God’s Source, Spirit, Soul, all work in integration, Of a newer, higher consciousness. 05:08 Healing happens When we have a shift in our consciousness, So that first. 05:18 misalignment for her healing is in the thought, right? It has to come in right thought. Right thought, and knowing universal laws, and how they work, and how to apply them to yourself, and your soul, and your spirit, and your body. 05:33 Is what will shift the consciousness and help you create well-being. 05:39 Okay, so the first correction of Holistics didn’t work for me. 05:46 is… this was not holistics. This is spirit and soul… 05:53 And a shift in consciousness. So she… we worked together. She did a lot of clearing. She healed a lot of things. She went through a lot of things. You know, let’s just give it an even four decades of having been through 06:09 You know, abuse, 06:13 rape, things that happen basically in the church, I consider it rape, things that happen in the church, ancestral… 06:22 Indoctrinations and traumas, cultural… so, there was a lot there. Had an eating disorder? That’s a lot to unpack. 06:32 Therapy keeps you in your head about it, but it doesn’t shift your consciousness, your frequency. 06:41 Why… why everyone’s like, why doesn’t therapy work? Well. 06:45 It doesn’t do anything to move you into the frequency of Christ consciousness, of your true self. 06:52 God does not see you as sick. 06:56 God did not give you cancer. God is not punishing you. 07:01 God is love, God is light. Christ consciousness is the embodiment of what Jesus taught, not the man himself. 07:01 God is love, God is light. Christ consciousness is the embodiment of what Jesus taught, not the man himself. 07:13 So receiving light language and praying in tongues, what that does in treatment sessions for someone like this is 07:22 It’s clearing… this separation. 07:27 Right? So she held all of this… against herself. 07:34 Filled with shame, filled with anger, filled with fear. 07:39 And then she also said, well, I’m, you know, gonna do the chemo, because I’m gonna save… I have to try to save my life. 07:45 That says everything. 07:49 Now, again, I have no judgment. I’m not… 07:52 You know, don’t come at me about picking this apart. This is how it works. 07:57 When I hung up that phone, and I had the, you know, you have EHE, this rare incurable cancer, it was so rare, 1 in 1 million people, right? There was no treatment, no protocol. The message for me was, where had I cut myself off from the river of life? And that was where I focused my… my… 08:17 Treatment. Now, I was in stillness 4 or 5 hours a day. 08:24 For 2 months. 08:28 So when she came, she did the work, we worked for several months, but then she stopped. I said, you need to come to Wednesday, you need to continue. And God has actually had already started speaking, praying tongues into her. 08:41 On her own, before we met. 08:43 She didn’t know it, she thought it was weird. 08:46 So did I when it first started, right? But it started when I had cancer. 08:52 It first came through when I had cancer, so did the holograms. 08:56 So, literally, God’s love was pouring into me as light, as healing holograms, and as the supernatural language, the praying in tongues. 09:07 I could not use my mind to heal it. 09:10 I got the message. 09:12 Right? Where I’d cut myself off in the river of life, and I knew what that meant. I knew that I was immersed in shame. 09:19 I still had remnants of shame in my body. 09:23 Right? And so, it is about 09:27 What is that message? So her message, I come back to this. I come back to the… Survival. 09:37 Where the cancer was, Root chakra. 09:42 Safety, security, and survival. 09:45 So when you start out in life. 09:48 With all of the things that she had happen to her, and kind of, you know, working against her, and the shame and the indoctrinations, yes, she thinks she’s being punished. Yes, she thinks that holistics didn’t work for her. 10:01 Because that is all upholding 10:04 Right? If God loved me, this wouldn’t happen. That comes from all the absolute lies and bullshit from religion. 10:14 about what God is. God is love. God does not… See us! 10:19 with cancer. 10:20 In spirit, there is no cancer. 10:24 In Holy Spirit, there is no cancer, so when praying in tongues and light language comes through in a treatment for someone with cancer, it is the realignment with the truth. 10:36 of spirit, of allowing Holy Spirit to fill you up 10:42 In a way that bypasses these stories. 10:46 Of shame, of guilt, of unworthiness, of unlovable, that’s being carried in the body, that that’s actually what’s the issue stuck in the tissues. 10:59 Right? No, I’m not saying don’t do the chemo. 11:02 Because until… and we’re a pretty far away, long way off from this state in our collective. Some people are getting it, but until you understand what causes the illness. 11:15 And that this is the path out. 11:19 You need to go to the doctors, and you need to do the treatments, but it’s very, very clear. 11:24 Why? People are, you know, they’ve… so many have walked away from mainstream medicine, and they’ve gone into holistics, but holistics isn’t clearing this either. Holistics is still a band-aid. 11:39 If you don’t look at it from a soul-spiritual perspective, and knowing the truth about God and Source, and how illness is created. 11:48 Our holy divine blueprint does not have… Cancer. 11:54 And then there’s the staging issue, right? Well, if it’s stage 4, or stage 3, or stage… you know, that in itself is just fear-based. 12:03 God doesn’t see cancer, number one, He doesn’t create cancer, and He certainly doesn’t stage cancer. That’s… that’s for the medical, so they’re immediately going, well, if it’s stage 4, you’re dead. 12:15 That’s it, you know? And what we hear is that exact same thing. 12:22 Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4. 12:24 That’s medicine stage, that. God doesn’t have a stage for it. You are wholly, divine, loved, and light right in here, right now. 12:33 But the events and the things that happened to us… 12:38 Keep us in the separation of that truth. 12:42 So every time… a person, and again, God is actually, you know, moving tongues through her. 12:52 was already doing that before she came to me. So it’s not that anything failed. She didn’t fail. She stopped. 13:01 She cleared a lot. 13:03 But we know, I know from the email and the fact that I can see into the… into the frequency, the energy in the body, what she’s holding is all that fear. 13:13 Survival, safety, security, root chakra. 13:18 So… 13:21 I used to be so angry when people used to say every… one of my mentors would say, everything’s happening for you. 13:28 Well, the language is there for her. 13:33 And she can… she can heal this. Yes, go ahead, do the chemo. But… 13:39 Continue to do the spiritual practice. 13:43 If… God landed in your living room. 13:47 And said, I want you to sit in stillness, Every day, for 30 minutes. 13:56 For the next 2 months, would you do it? I’ll save you. 14:00 Will you do it? 14:02 I can’t tell you how many people come to me. 14:07 And I literally give them… the process… 14:12 And they don’t do it. And then they go, oh, this doesn’t work. 14:16 Because they want to get back on with their life. These are the spiritual awakenings. These are the wake-up calls. 14:25 And it is a wake-up call. 14:28 But you’ve got to get this other piece of it. 14:33 Right? Where you do the process of releasing This pattern in form, of survival. 14:45 Sacrifice, safety, fear. 14:50 You’ve got to release that, because that is the separation, and you have to allow your true self, that true God self. 14:58 Frequency to come in. 15:01 That is what the light language and the… Tongue’s treatment does. 15:09 And you stick with it until you hit the tipping point. 15:17 Until you hit the tipping point. But she thinks that she failed. She didn’t fail. We didn’t fail. This is a spiritual prescription for healing not only cancer, but anything. 15:29 And I’ve done it multiple times, and so have… so have all my clients. 15:34 Right, so it’s understanding that you didn’t fail. 15:38 There’s just still more. 15:42 For you to… 15:44 I don’t want to use the word clear, but the separation is still there. The unworthiness is still there. The idea of sacrifice and punishment. 15:54 And shame is still there. 15:58 I’m not worthy, I don’t deserve to be here. 16:02 I’m gonna try and save my life. 16:08 So, I wanted to share that. I know it’s a heavy topic. 16:13 Please come to a Wednesday night. Group session, I will leave the links below. Experience it for yourself. Start this process. 16:23 We are about restoring the light and the Christ consciousness in the body, the embodiment in the body, right? It’s not up here. 16:31 And that’s what makes it so beautiful about the praying in tongues and the light language, is it bypasses our rational mind, the mind that created the problem in the first place. 16:41 So come to a Wednesday night, I will leave you a link, or book a private one-on-one session. 16:46 We can get a lot cleared in one session. God knows exactly what you need. 16:53 I’m not doing the treatment, I’m not doing the healing. 16:56 That’s another piece of the misinformation. 17:00 I’m just allowing God to move through me for you. 17:06 Right? To move the tongue through me, to move this language through me, to go straight into your Holy Spirit. 17:16 And your Holy Spirit. 17:20 is what clears the imprint and the distortion that is in your soul. The soul is where the karma and the imprint and distortion is. 17:31 So if this resonates, please come join me. 17:34 Or grab the free, light language attunement and transmission link that’s below, and I hope to see you soon. Take care.
