Healing: Where do I start?

Embarking on one’s healing journey need not be a fear or dreaded, indeed the experience can often be one of the profound and empowering events in one’s life.  I remember when I finally took full responsibility for my wellbeing, as a single mother of 2 young children, then aged 2 & 3 years old.  Suddenly the dominoes began to fall and the term ‘enlightenment’ started to make sense.  But where and how does one start?

One cannot listen to within with a cluttered mind, a mind endlessly chatting and continually repeating what if scenarios that may never occur.  There are many ways to calm the mind: Meditation, a walk in the woods, tending to the garden for example.  All seek a similar objective to bring stillness and one to the present moment.  Once this occurs, your inner voice can be heard (not the monkey mind!), your intuitive self can be listened to guide and when ready, after some practice, your spiritual guides to step forward to support your healing journey.  The timing of which is blessed and bespoke to you as your path is unique.

Forgiveness is a critical element of the healing process.  In experiencing trauma or some perceived wrong that we bottle up, the emotion can often be buried under layers of subconscious behaviours and nuances.  Forgiveness can be a challenge particularly for those left baffled by religion.  Ho’oponopono, the ancient Hawaiian forgiveness technique can fill that void spiritually:

“I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you”.

Simple words with a divine and profound effect. 

Ho’oponopono is a platform for enabling us to heal those challenges we have experienced in our life.  Birth trauma, inner child healing and other significant life events can all be healed.  The information is stored on our DNA, like the mother of all USB’s, it remains with us for our lives, until we choose to transmute the energy and essentially transform fear into love. 

Transitioning through this might not be an easy process, it’s an important process for releasing suppressed emotion.  This will arise, so be mindful, that from time to time a good cry is essential to enable the hurt to be released from our emotional body.  There’s nothing wrong with it, it just is.

So, it is time to lighten the load? embark on a journey to discover one’s true self? reclaim one’s personal power? And uncover an understanding of our gifts and true purpose on this beautiful planet?  I will leave that with you to ponder.
