A Time for Healing
In everyone's life span comes a time of crisis and with it a time for healing. The crisis is rarely decided upon, although many omens
leading up to same are oftentimes ignored until the actual shock hits. Pain, loss, grief and sadness appear suddenly and with it the
choice and options to constructively yield to the inevitable. A time for healing however is a focused intent. It is a mindful choice to
connect with ones higher purpose to embrace the soul's journey, salute the spirit in ones existence with wisdom and compassion. It
is time to become sensitive to the hidden aspects of oneself and the larger human community. To realize ones mortality and become
acutely aware of the human condition we all share here in earth school. To accept and transcend the dramas of everyday life and
instead more fully embrace the dance of the great mystery of human life.
It is time to release the patterns of the past and not fret about the future. To slow down sufficiently to re-connect with ones breath,
the earth, her seasons and cycles, to find beauty in small treasures. To put ones mind in ones feet and walk more caringly on the
earthmother and draw healing from the very matrix of the universe. To enhance ones spiritual perception, become open to magic
and small pleasures and to re-assess ones practical needs. To celebrate the soul's awakening in a more creatively expressive way,
to claim ones autonomy and be taught by ones ancient inner knowing.
This can happen in many ways. A healing time is a time of profound personal empowerment. To decidedly commit to be living from
within a sacred space at all times and attuned to ones soul purpose. "Everything that lives wants attention, and the human soul is no
exception - it thrives when it knows itself perceived with compassion and reverence." When I work with a person, I attempt to look at
their soul self and observe the direction it wishes to move in. Then I look at the self-created obstructions in the body-mind dynamics
that block the soul's free movement. If the person is willing to transform and able to commit to a healing journey, I support them in
recognizing their soul's desire and via various immune enhancing tools guide them into the perceptual shape shifting needed to come
to the next level of beingness in their evolutionary cycle. To open to personal alchemy. To grow beyond what they know themselves
to be thus far.
Thought this process is essentially simple, it is sometimes challenging and sometimes great, depending on the rigidity and clinging
of the person's mental pattern and their subsequent emotional entanglements. In my work as a healer my biggest task is to encourage
the person to invite themselves into a healing time. To cross over the bridges of fear, worry, disease and confusions that prevent them
from living full, happy and healthy lives. To understand the necessity for beauty, play, ceremony, retreats and healing holidays. To
not see this as a luxury or as frivolous, not as selfish, not as crazy. So many times I am confronted with clients agreeing that my
suggestions of perhaps taking a vision quest, of moving to a brighter home, of enrolling in an art course of their choice, of committing
to ongoing therapy for a while, of taking the trip to the Caribbean they always dreamed of, are a good idea, but for reasons connected
with old worn out patterns of self limitation they are unable to jump into the abyss of the unknown and risk facing their new self. It
is almost tragic. Time and time again I witness people stuck in judgement, constriction and non-trust of the universal resources,
when they are within an inch of opening to a healing time for themselves. Perhaps for the first time and perhaps for the best time in
their lives. Inner work bears fruit when spiritual perception is brought into the everyday activities and during a healing time a person's
soul has a rare and wonderfully unique opportunity to become attuned to their true destiny and be more fully human. A healing time
is a turning point in a human life span. In my work with people suffering from all kinds of immune disorders, I have learned that
the immune system is strongly affected by feelings and that taking certain kinds of action, such as entering a committed healing time,
can affect the immune system positively.
There are now multiple options to awaken the possible human. To enter a discovery process about wholeness and the journey of
healing. For many, it is as simple as to just keep laughing in the face of their perceived obstacles, to discover the fire in the belly and
the spirit of soul in their eyes and the eyes of the world. To insist on hope and recovery. To creatively engage the imagination so it
may revitalize the body. For others it may take the form of a meditation retreat, of time in the wilderness, of moving to an urban
area, of simplifying their lifestyle or letting go of people and places one has outgrown a long time ago. For some a dream vacation
to a place of empowerment may serve as the catalyst for a healing time, and for most it is just sufficient to break out of the mold of
their perceived persona and release the mind mesh that entraps them. A healing time is a time of purification, a time of rebirth, a
time of coming into the grace of ones place in creation. It is available to us all.
