For today "Lets talk about" Let's talk about: Healing Healing is a misunderstood concept. There is one meaning but many interpretations. The meaning of healing is to free oneself of all injury and disease, however the interpretations range from surgery to enlightment so we know the gap is huge and we can get easily lost as to what tha' heck are we suppose to be healing. If our goal is to truly align ourselves, we must heal it all; the body, emotions, mentality, perception, energy, connection, all. We trap energy, is what we do best until we consciously stop. We have adapted to accumulate the past even longer than what our own body takes to heal. Our skin renews itself every 27 days but we can keep a traumatic event trapped in our memory for our whole lifes. So while our skin is trying to heal we keep feeding our energy with resentment thus nurishing new cells with distorted energy, and then wonder why we have dry and itchy skin. The biggest misconception I have seen is the suggestion that there is some step by step guide to healing that we can all follow and magically heal. One can almost bet they will push to sell you something, taking the lessons we all go thru and generalizing them like humans try to do with everything else. It becomes another type of drug, almost like a cult or even an MLM, if you appeciate analogies as much as I do. Then I have also read that healing requires "letting go" but taken as abandoning people, places, and the things that we no longer "resonate" with, however the narrative that usually accompanies this train of thought is full of red flags with huge letters written saying "my ego is still sick and I wont deal with it so Im leaving you behind" and that is extremely toxic and it is not healing anyone in any way; its not the same as to say that we no longer resonate so we took different paths or, Im not ready to deal with this so I better take care of myself until I am ready (which is the best thing we can do). Healing is personal, unique, completely dependant on the individual. It is something that happens inside, organically, and it happens only when the the person is ready. No one has, can or will ever force someone else to heal if the person does not want to. A dentist can take a tooth out, give pain medicine, a special diet, and order some rest but if the person keeps thinking about how bad it hurt when the tooth was still in its place, the pain will still be there as if the tooth was still there. Just like a person can "forgive" a traumatic event but since it cannot be erase from the past, 15 yrs later its still doing circles in their mind and so the person without knowing is holding on to resentment or is neglecting a part of themselves, either way there are trapped energies waiting to be triggered. And we hear the word "trigger" and many automatically think is talking about a word or an action that can trigger in us a reponse that correlates with the trauma, however not many think that a trigger also can be that one sugary meal they ate that gave them extreme ache and took them to the hospital to turn out that they have an autoinmune disease; probably never realizing and will never relate the disease with that time it was imprinted in their mind that they are not good enough nor all the times they have actually felt like they are not good enough. To heal we must look inside and basicaly follow our intuition. The "techniques" that we find are meant to inspire us, to help us understand how those who have already experience something similar have healed. They give us a way but should not be taken as the only way for each of us. Is understandable that we all want to feel better now but we spend years making ourselves sick, and then pretend to heal in a day or two. True healing comes when we are free of injury and disease, when we are no longer affect it by it, and we cant forget that it includes not to suffer from it again, so its not only about the past and present, we must also include the future, so changes are a must. We need to heal it all. To heal our future we must heal our present: 1. Body: eating habits, exercise, sleep, life style, breathing, actions and behavior 2. Energy: chakras, elements, etc. 3. Mental: conscious and subconscious thoughts, visualization, imagination, creativity, abilities 4. Emotions. 5. Trapped energy and Connection 6.inner child and shadow 7.karma. 8. Etc. To heal our present we must heal our past: 1. Traumas 2. Shadow 3. Childhood experiences 4. Indoctrination 5. Coping mechanisms 6. Personality traits, etc. Seems like a lot, and it is. However there is no need to over-complicate ourselves, it all comes down to changing our perspective, changing the way we think, feel, talk, act, grief, etc. Every technique helps us undestand more, dive deeper, do more and they allow us to gather the tools we need to go inside and do the job ourselves. Each technique, school, philosophy, have a way to heal, it is up to us to what aspects of our lifes we apply them. Now, to heal, the most important thing is to be ready to heal and that means that more often than not we must wait until we are so utterly tired of what we dont want that we will be willing to face whatever it is that needs to happend so we can come up the other end. This is easily understood when we think of the many that cry for a better life, but nothing changes. Having a better life means we can no longer be the victim of circumstances, we must take the wheel and take responsability, and that, for many, means becoming a whole new person. They may "heal" their inner child and forgive their past traumas, still life remains basicaly the same, it gets a little better and then that feeling of being stuck comes back, and the cicle begins again; because they are not ready to free themselves from that victim mentality and this is completely normal (it be weird if it wasnt like that), we must learn how to survive before we can thrive. Is an unconscious search for scenarios where their victim personality can exist, thus repeating the same things over and over. And this can happen for many reasons, but a major one is that the person still has lessons to learn from that side of the expectrum. Dont force it. Forcing something only increases pressure and it will later become another trauma to heal. Healing is really a daily thing. Declare that you are healing and just like that, the journey begins. Live in the moment, learn from your talents, be curious about the unknown, lose yourself in wonder, and find new ways each day to love yourself; take that and allow yourself to be that to give that, and you will heal from the 2.0 version of yourself.
