What is healing?

A return to wholeness.

TO MAKE WHOLE- is the original root meaning of the word healing.

What would it mean to be whole as a human being?

Wholeness encompasses the entire range of human experience from our sadness to our joy, from our successes to our failings, our innate perfect divinity and our human imperfections. Healing is breathing love, breathing awareness, and communion into the entirety of our being.

Ultimately for me healing is a path to aliveness and to happiness.

We have all experienced moments in life filled with vitality, joy and connectedness. Take a moment to think when you last experienced such a moment. Earlier today? Yesterday? Last week? Last year? Or perhaps further in your past?

These feelings occur in “peak experiences” perhaps in uninhibited dancing, in lovemaking, in companionship, in prayer, in meditation or amongst the beauty of nature.

These moments seem charged with life, they scintillate, we feel larger than our ordinary selves. We allow our dreams to expand, our horizons to broaden, new possibilities open up, these times inspire courage and action.

Healing is a return to this wholeness.

Healing is reclaiming this territory.

When we live a life rich in these moments we know happiness, despite the winds of fortune.

How did we stray from wholeness?

Our innate wholeness is a delicate fragile yet indestructible aspect of our being. It vibrates unceasingly calling us to claim it, it sings, hums, whispers, shouts…it calls unceasingly.

But how did we move from innate union with all, to where we are now in our lives?

Each time we inhibit and diminish ourselves in some essential way we veil this innate wholeness. We alter our individual inner map of reality to our own particular experience of reality. This is how it is we say. As living co-creators of reality, our outer world begins to reflect this individualized inner map. We notice the reflection and say yes, this is how it is.

A multitude of life experiences from birth, early infancy and childhood shape how we perceive and interact with the world around us.

In response to painful experiences we create protection, which settles into rigid patterns. These patterns can be attitudes, inner conclusions about reality, people or relationships and can also be actual behaviours our younger selves created for self-preservation.

Quite often we are infants or very young children at the moment these patterns are created. They served us perfectly in our particular life and family situation. Keeping us safe and able to cope with or to survive our own unique environment.

Time passes, we grow, leave home, work, fall in love, start families. Yet the inner blueprint (created in childhood) that tells is what reality is and how to handle it can become stuck, lacking flexibility to adapt to life's ever changing flow.

For example, we may approach all men with residues of the unhealthy inner conclusions we made as a child from our primary picture of man – our own father. We may carry the same distortion towards women in some ways as were present in our relationship to our own mother.

Layer upon layer of out of date or false conclusions and ways of relating to the world around us gradually numb our life force, our sense of aliveness. This quality of aliveness, connectedness is then only reached in occasional peak experiences.

As you are reading these words now, part of you is awakening, part of you is leading you to search for wholeness. Part of you is calling, part of you is heeding the call. The Divine within, or the sleeping Buddha within is awakening.

I welcome you.

I honour your unique path of healing.
