​

We’re all healers. Maybe not all by profession, but we all have this innately about us. That can be challenging to accept, or even see. For some, it may seem like a huge role~ and we are not all called  to step into it to the same degree. For some, it seems quite natural. They know it is part of who they are. If it is true, and we do all have this capability, does this then mean that we all have to go around intentionally healing one another? Not necessarily. Though, how cool would that be….and sort of surreal. Actually, just by being our true, authentic selves is enough. Being open and willing to explore who we are is healing. Sharing our true selves and our true nature, is healing. Looking a little deeper~ being in tune with our hearts is extraordinarily healing! How we apply these things, sitting with a friend, listening, being present, is healing. Being in nature, appreciating and connecting~ with a tree, a creature, is healing. Much of the time, we don’t even know we are doing it, we are just being ourselves. When my daughter was little, three or four, she would often wake up at night crying, “Mommy, my leg hurts!” What could I do?! A mother’s instinct is naturally to want to do whatever can be done in order for her child to stop crying! All I could think of was growing pains?! I actually didn’t know what to do, and I wasn’t necessarily one to medicate as a first resort. So, I sat with her. Exhausted as I was, having my own sleep interrupted, still, I sat. I sat and held my hand gently where she said the pain was. I generated a sense of calm in myself, centered my own energy, and tuned into my heart. I tuned in and felt the love I had for my child as I held my hand over her leg. Soon, she stopped crying. And, she said it felt better! This happened more than once. There may be a thousand other theories about this out there, but all I know is, it worked. She believed it worked, I witnessed it, and we both went back to sleep peacefully. Sometimes that love is all we need! This is healing.

Where have you had an opportunity to share the love in your heart, or simply allowed it to flow through you, and known it has made a distinct difference for yourself or someone else? Perhaps a situation took a turn for the better, or a person’s outlook or perception changed? Even your own? I invite you to reflect on this today.

Much Love,
