Where You Are

MAP

What is healing?  What do healers do?

Are you sure you want to hear this?

Sure. 

Nothing.  There is no healing to do.



Your perception is there is something wrong and there isn’t.

Try telling that to someone who is sick.

Oh, that person is feeling sick.  And the person with cancer has something going on in their body.  And the person who is so sad can’t find a way to feel happy.

But that doesn’t mean there is something wrong.



The idea you have behind healing is that there is some perfect state you should be in, or the earth should be in, and if you fixed that wrong then everything would be right.

But much of what you do is say “I don’t want to be here” and move from what you don’t like or away from the way things should be.

Where do you go?

Anywhere but here isn’t good enough, but you accept that as healing.  As long as you aren’t where you were before you think things are fine.



I tell you this – they aren’t always fine.

You just moved somewhere else but have gone there by default rather than choice.

Don’t be surprised if the pain you experienced happens all over again.



What about a broken bone or cut.

You are speaking of a physical injury here and using the term healing to refer to a state of repair.

The bone is not the same as before and the scar remains, even if imperceptible.

You don’t see things are not the same as before.

Nothing changes back to its original state because nothing stays the same.  Everything is changing.



Where you are right now is where you are.

There is a reason, a path, a set of outcomes from your actions, known or not, that put you here right now.

There is nothing wrong or right about that.

But you can change it.  You can change the direction of where you go from here.

If the healer does anything it is to shift your space a bit, to support you in choosing where to go.
