Towards Looking

MAP

Let’s circle back around on this topic of healing and what healer’s do – or don’t do.  I think things sort of ended abruptly yesterday.

There always is more to explore.  We can go anywhere you want to.



Healing isn’t some sort of magical cure or a wand you wave and POOF! your problems are gone. 

That puts your power, puts you, outside yourself into the hands of another.

Sure, another can help you set a broken bone or give you Reiki or put some stones in a particular arrangement – but don’t forget – they are an extension of you.

In that way you are healing yourself, repairing or changing what you have done to yourself.



Have you ever considered though, when you repair a broken bone or a tear in your skin, to make it different or what you would call better than before the incident happened?

Is your goal always to go back to the way things were or do you just assume that is the way things are supposed to be?

The problem you encounter with healing is that you are trying to get away from wherever you are rather than looking at where you want to go.

Many times you look to simply return to where you have been – because it is familiar and what you know, or because that is what you truly desire.

If’ you’re in pain or frustrated or tired of feeling the way you do, sometimes the last thing you want to think about is where you want to go.

Exactly.  That’s what happens most times.

You say you just want to get out of here, any place is better than this.

And anyone who can do that for you is a god send.  (I tell you everyone is a god send because you are all you.)

What you never look at is what brought you here in the first place.



This is not about finding fault or placing blame.

This is about saying I or we did this and look what happened.  This is the outcome of that action.  And I don’t like that.

You never think about the outcomes you like – you just keep doing more of it.

It’s the outcomes you don’t like that set you off down an entirely different path.

Think about how you could change the outcomes you like – could you have more of it or come to it in a different way?

Could you be purposeful in what you like?

Of course.
