The Place of Healing...


... is in your heart. That, i think, is the single most important thing in any healing tradition. It is with the heart that we feel compassion, empathy, gratitude.… and it is the heart that feels unconditional love.

As soon as we offer healing, we offer love…. soothing hurt & pain, building strength & courage… unconditionally. We are the catalyst, a connection, a channel for others… helping them to re-connect their selves, providing a gateway… Ultimately it is for them to access, accept & utilise the energy that we connect with.

Healing must be unconditional, for how can we say what is best for another. Whatever we see or feel or think, we cannot walk their path for them, we cannot control their destiny or manipulate their free-will. But we can be that connection that brings them to a place of healing… in their heart... a place of self-love… unconditionally… a place where they have the strength to choose…. whether to fight or surrender…. to swim or ride the waves...

As soon as we step on to the healing path, we begin our own journey of healing. Whenever we access the healing energies to give to another, they come through us… they help us to heal too, however ‘sorted’ we may think we are!

I loved this post and this paragraph in particular -

"As soon as we offer healing, we offer love…. soothing hurt & pain, building strength & courage… unconditionally. We are the catalyst, a connection, a channel for others… helping them to re-connect their selves, providing a gateway… Ultimately it is for them to access, accept & utilise the energy that we connect with."

- That is a really beautiful explanation of healing - thank you.

Thanks for visiting my blog and your so very kind words. I just found your blog recently and I am truly impressed by your art. Some of the words you used in your art gave me impression that their might be a connection. We might be able to relate. I just have started art theray end of last year. Taking a brush into my hands means adventure of the soul as I hardly ever know what the paper will show, what it will reveal to me. I got a book now about art therapy and intuitive paintings. Well, we are always work in prgress arent we. Hugs across the pond. Paula

lol, was just thinking of you paula... there must be a connection! Thanks, yes, we're all a work in progress & there's not one of us that that hasnt been damaged in some way at some time... of course the extent & effects vary from one extreme to another & the difference is how we deal with it. The important thing is what we do now, how we move on now, as you so definitely are... love x
