What is Healing?

What is Healing?

There are a lot of definitions of healing, maybe some of them work for you and maybe some don’t.

But what if healing is as individual as you are?

Healing can mean that the symptoms of disease are gone or that the tensions that have run our lives have been replaced by ease.

But healing can also include a peaceful death or an acceptance of the fact that we live in bodies that are not meant to last.

And most of all,  what does healing mean to you?

To really claim the power, the wholeness of the word we have to create our own definition.

Here are seven things we can do that allow for healing to occur.

What Allows for True Healing?

  • Give up demanding that the situation in your body or the situation around you be the way you want it to be. When we demand we create obstacles for what is possible.
  • Make friends with what seems to be the enemy, be it cancer or poverty. Having a war against anything especially in our bodies always makes more of a mess.
  • Accept what is happening will allow the miraculous to happen and create the space for real change to show up.
  • Be curious and wonder about what is not only possible, but about what the healing opportunity is telling you. There is much we can learn as we heal.
  • Notice.  Awareness is curative.  When we become curious, we bring our awareness to what is present. The act of observation changes both the observed and the observer.
  • Attend to all the layers of life, physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental. To heal from anything requires attention to the multiple layers of life.
  • Create your own definition of healing; don’t try to live from someone else’s definition. To make healing really work for us we have to claim it as our own.

What does healing mean for you? Would you like to create your own definition of what healing is?  We’d love to help you Get Started.

And if you are wondering if healing is possible for you, sometimes we need to be reminded that it’s our birthright.

Healing is your Birthright

The Importance of Trusting Uncertainty

You don’t know what you don’t know.
It’s a simple and powerful truth.

What if, when we don’t know there’s “a special knowing” that’s there for us?

Uncertainty is like spring. When a daffodil bulb feels the call of the sun warming the earth, it can’t see the light but it knows it’s there. And through a gesture of faith, it begins its journey to the light.

When You Gotta Go, You Gotta GO!

Why is it that we don’t ‘go‘ when we know we’ve got to?

Aren’t we amazing all the ways we hold ourselves back?

Yes, we can even hold ourselves back from going to the bathroom when we really need to. For some reason, we don’t want to get rid of our own waste when it’s time.

The Chiapas Jungle Report

We are on a sacred journey and have taken each of you with us.

Here’s our report at the midway point. We’ve included a series of photographs for you as there is a wordless beauty that keeps presenting itself.

We’ve traveled just over 1000 miles down into the heart of Chiapas. We have been met with kindness, a little curiosity but overall hospitality. As we write, we are in Palenque. It is the site of an extensive Mayan city abandoned about 1200 years ago.

Remembering the Adventure of Life

Posted on February 23, 2014 by - Courage, Self Empowerment, Spirit, Wisdom Rx Bits

We were not born to live a mundane existence.
The essence of who we are – pure, clear and strong is life itself.
There is a pressure that comes from the world around us, sometimes even a demand that demands our surrender into a humdrum day-to-day way of being.

When we say yes to that demand, something inside at the heart of our being knows we are stepping out of the rich passionate flow of our life into an ordinariness that may be convenient but costly to our hearts.

Relief From Lying

Posted on February 10, 2014 by - Health Issues, Sickness and Health, Spirit, Wisdom Rx Bits, Words

Lies make us ill, whether we’re lying to one another or ourselves.

Lying separates us from our own truth and is just plain hard on our bodies.  It takes energy to lie, energy that could be available for life affirming actions.

When we lie, we create blockages in our physical body, resistance in our emotional field and separation from our spirit selves. The suffering we have carried because of lying has been great.
