I think of a HEALER as someone who wants to help others.
We can express our desire to serve others in the world in a variety of ways. The most crucial thing to keep in mind, in my opinion, is that healing others is not our obligation. We lack the ability to heal other people.
What we can do, though, is help another person find recovery. For those we help, we can serve as a model of what is possible. We can assist others in remembering that life is more than just sorrow. But we are powerless to assist them. We can guide them on a path to recovery, but ultimately it is up to them to make the choice.
I regularly tell my clients that since I have repaired my own life, I am not a healer. (That procedure is ongoing.) Because I have experienced suffering, I am a healer. I’ve discovered that it’s possible to overcome my sorrow and find some measure of tranquility and comprehension. It’s not about changing who we are to heal. Many of us in life become preoccupied with “fixing” the world and ourselves. Nothing needs to be fixed. Our suffering thoughts keep us from seeing just how much better off we really are.
Please STOP TRYING TO FIX EVERYTHING. IT IS HURTING YOU.
The PATH TO HEALING IS THROUGH LEARNING TO LOVE OURSELVES AS WE ARE.
I see many people on a healing path, working so hard to change the way their world looks in hopes that they feel better about life. How often has that actually worked? When it did work, how often was it permanent? Most likely, it was not.
As healers, we are not immune from this work, and we are not being asked to be perfect in any way. Please let go of that expectation, if you have it. We must learn to find more contentment in the world. As healers, we are simply asked to share Love and be real, however that may look from moment to moment.
I’ve discovered that trying to change people is a pointless and needless endeavor while I go through my recovery process. The only thing I have the ability to change is how I view myself and the world. I came to the conclusion that I needed to alter my outlook. I had to choose to change how I viewed others.
I made the decision to start appreciating individuals despite their misery. What if we were able to live in a painful environment while still being in a place of love for ourselves and others? On certain days, I lose sight of this and fall back into my old patterns of criticism and shame. I choose to bring myself back to Love once I am aware of this.
It’s crucial to realize that experiencing the world through the lens of love does not cause the suffering to miraculously vanish or vanish altogether. It implies that we nourish our suffering with love rather than add to it.
It is NOT your obligation to change the entire world, let me be clear about that. You are lying to yourself if you believe it to be so. There are countless opportunities for service. In order to be effective healers, we must develop our own distinct expressions without emulating others.
Consider the language you speak as your healing expression. The population of the world is in the billions. It is fair to argue, in my opinion, that mankind needs billions of diverse healers who speak all of our various languages.
Hence, I made the choice to choose my dream. I have been willing to BE and DO whatever I need within myself to be a clearer space for others. The clearer we are within ourselves, the more space we can hold for those we serve. Remember this.
All the Love and blessings on your journey.
