Thoughts on healing

Thoughts on healing - Life is a series of transitions.  Life is a series of changes.  Many times we feel these are terrible and bad things happening to us.  But in reality, these changes are the benefactors that come into our lives.  All of the time they move us out of our narcissistic self.  They open us to become the people we really are: the people we are called to be.  Only then, some time later and somewhere down the road we realize that was the best thing that could’ve happened to us. 

The question is, how do we deal with them?  How do we confront them?  The question I found is, if they are benefactors, how do we welcome them?

Healing is something I have struggled with for a long time.  Life is a journey and our journey is full of all kinds of things: new roads, detours, dead-ends, u-turns.  It’s not planned, it’s not laid out.  It’s meant to be experienced in the moment.  It’s our individual journey.

Through this journey, which is a process, I have come to many realizations that I’d like to share with you in this blog.

It’s not what has been done to you.  That’s over.  It’s done.  The question is what are you doing to keep up the maintenance on this perpetuation of  “what was done to you.” 

There comes a point where you must break this cycle.  I see this a lot where some people take a stake in this perpetuation.  They enjoy it, they like it, they live in this pain because it’s what they are used to.  Let’s also be honest, they are getting something out of it.

There comes a point where you have to acknowledge and realize, and again, most of all be honest with yourself, that yes, this is what I am doing.  This will change your life drastically!  For me it was almost instantaneously.  It truly is a self-realization.  It will set you free.  No longer will you be under your self-imposed house arrest.  You will be free because you took responsibility for that freedom.

Thusly, a series of amazing changes and unforeseen events happened in my life.  It was life changing to say the least.

I’ve come to the point in my life where I don’t seek answers anymore.  I actually seek the questions.  How and why did I get here?  Or more importantly, what did I do to get myself here.  After all, I have played a hand in it too.  I am speaking about a higher level of responsibility, a deeper level of awareness.  I am talking about being cause over my life and all things related.  This is tuff!

I know this might put many of you off.  Change is tuff!  But the willingness to grow and be a better person must be stronger.

What’s at stake here?  People live in masks and in shadows.  The challenge is to become to become our authentic self.

But in reality the question for me became, how can I heal in a healthy way?  So I learned that by healthy healing that I could become more authentically my human self.  There is something wonderful about being human.  When you are in the process of healing, you will find that you have a new capacity to love yourself and others in a new way and also help in their healing too. That is the Magical You!

Love & Miracles ~
