Sorry, there’s no magic pill for this one! I know, you’ve been waiting for me to tell you that healing is easy-peasy. Well, it can be, if you allow it to be that way, but most likely you will hang on with a long list of denials or justifications and rationalizations of why you can’t and won’t heal. I always say, “it’s up to you” and I can say this in complete honesty because that’s what my guides always lovingly said to me.
I co-created an agreement with my guides, I said, “Let’s meet half way with this journey of healing and if the going gets rough, you’ll all jump in and help me. Okay? Okay!” I no sooner finished this statement in my heart and soul and the power went out for two and a half days. In retrospect, this was a fairly significant you-niverse sync-wink, and that was back in August of 2003. I was in the midst of planning some serious life path transformations and little did I know how truly guided and directed I was, and how much my life would change.
Throughout this journey of healing, I’ve learned something on a very profound level; I learned that I wouldn’t experience a divine intervention per say, but that I would experience what it was like to really dig in deep within myself and find my own power. I also came to understand that I was being given an opportunity to look at everything with new eyes so that I could understand myself, and the world we live in on a totally different level.
That experience helped to me to navigate, explore and understand new insights into higher vibrational thinking and responses. In other words, I was learning to discern choosing both inwardly and outwardly how I would respond to circumstances that were unfolding and were yet to unfold in my life. I also came to integrate the lessons that choosing a higher vibrational response didn’t mean ignoring how I felt and that was probably one of the more challenging lessons in my healing.
Understanding and acknowledging how I felt was the key to my healing and transformation. What a journey indeed! At that time, I had no idea how well conditioned and programmed I had allowed myself to become in order to maintain the illusion of belonging, of fitting in, and of keeping an invisible safety net around myself. I had spent what seemed like a lifetime of concealing most of my true feelings and thoughts in order to not upset others or with the awkwardness that might even bring! I often found myself going along to get along and I was categorically choosing to downplay my true role as a healer. Holding myself back out of fear of intimidating others and playing second fiddle had settled into an everyday occurrence for me.
My journey of healing and transformation was consciously choosing to embrace my inner strength and self-awareness. I chose to actively experience my own evolutionary growth on a deep personal level so that I could be the essence of higher-vibrational thoughts. The easy-peasy part of my healing came when I recognized that I no longer had to keep one foot on the gas and the other foot on the brake. It was time to heal, release and transform; after all, I couldn’t possibly be a healer to and for others, if I wasn’t prepared to heal myself!
I am sharing this part of my healing journey with you as I feel that it is overwhelmingly important that we all choose to heal. You are not alone in this journey of healing. Take a good look around you and you will see people in shift-phases of healing, and, it is through healing that your awakening and awareness becomes palpable.
The Taoists have observed that all floods start with a single drop of rain. It is with deep heartfelt insightfulness that I share with you that I feel that something leading edge and revolutionary is about to be seen in this world of ours. This will be the first time on earth where each raindrop (person) is not only consciously choosing their journey of healing, but also awakening, aware and actively participating in the collective goal of the flood of compassion and Love. I am excited about this, really excited!
Remember, you are a continuous conscious stream of energy and light, forged of love and capable of creating miracles. You are here now and you have a purpose – live it!!
Leaving you with peace, love, understanding, awareness and wisdom (and of course, big hugs and butterfly kisses).
“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you; all of the expectations, all of the beliefs and becoming who you are.” – Rachel Naomi Remen
“Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.” – Buddha
“You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” – Louise Hay
Goosebumps all over. Funny how this blog “popped in” while I was deep in thought about change and contemplating life in general. Thank you for this.
Beautiful Theresa, so much of this resonates with me and my healing journey.
