Into the Mystic

The answer to that question is quite simple.

Everything and Everyone.

Everything is Healing if you so choose it to be and Everyone is a Healer if you allow yourself to be so.

If you are breathing and walking upon this planet today (good news! you are if you are reading this) :), you HAVE experienced healing and you ARE a healer.

Yes I know, many that are reading this right now are not at all comfortable with that statement including possibly you.

Feelings can come flying to the surface from somewhere deep inside, a volcano of inner resistance and possibly even anger, spewing forth with possible statements of:

“How dare you assume that I am a healer! I have never aspired to be as the Saints nor do I wish to be seen as some Voodoo Priestess or snake-oil peddler. I will not accept that term for myself!”.

OR

“How can I possibly be a healer when I have days I can’t even get out of bed for all the sadness I feel? I can not possibly be a healer when I rely upon others to assist me to obtain what I need for daily living?”

OR POSSIBLY

“I have never had any desires whatsoever to be a healer unto others and I will not even consider that term applying to me. I have had no interest in taking the time to train to be a healer. It is just not my cup of tea”.

((patiently smiling and waiting for those upset reactions to calm down))

If you had one of those reactions to my statement of Everything is Healing and Everyone is a Healer and you are still with me and have not flown the coop vowing to never read my stuff again then I offer my perspective on all is healing and all are healers for your consideration. 🙂

****************************************

There is not a single person upon this planet that has not suffered a pain or hurt of some form at some time in their life. Yet after the hurt they received, they still arose the next day and placed one foot in front of the other, walking once again back into the world or even just to their kitchen.

Everyone has suffered some form of pain. Pain is often categorized as being either physical, mental or emotional in nature yet at the root it is all one and the same.

Pain is pain no matter how we may choose to analyze, dissect or categorize that particular state of being.

Pain felt within any of the different bodies (physical, emotional or mental) is pain that is shared throughout all bodies.

There are many definitions available via dictionaries for healing yet there is no single, absolute meaning.

I personally feel that if you have ever felt pain of any nature and had the courage and/or determination to take a next breath after that pain arose, then you have entered the space of healing.

The space of healing is immense and undefinable by a simple word, it is inclusive of the construct meanings that we imply when we use the terms: Life, Evolution, Cycles, Death, Re-Birth and Transformation.

Yet as is our human nature, we try to fit healing and healer into tiny little definitions constricting and restraining this truly miraculous space, denying ourselves an experience and state of being that has no words to be of adequate define.

**************************************

While I feel it is folly to attempt to contain the space of healing and healer in a single word I do feel I can express some attributes that apply to the terms.

One that has gained knowledge in the quest of self-healing, and then shares said knowledge through any medium of action with Others, is a healer.

Mediums of action that allow for sharing the knowledge one has gained in self-healing are innumerable.

A few examples of what I refer to as mediums of action in sharing healing are: the written or spoken word, musical composure, various art forms such as paint to canvas and sculpture, physical touch such as hands-on healing methods, massage, sexual intimacy, the simplicity of a hug.

The opening of a door before another, the smile gifted to a stranger, the laugh gone unrestrained for all to hear.

All of these things are healing mediums of action.

********************************************************

What defines One that is on the path of self-healing?

The answer here too is simple.

Anyone that is in the Pursuit of Happiness, is on the Path of Self-Healing, even if they are not in conscious awareness of having been seeking the state of Wholeness and Well-Being.

While it is true that happiness is quite subjective to the individual perception, and has many different definitions within the collective, the same is also true of self-healing.

We all have our own goals and perceptions of what it means to be ‘healed’ and one man’s healing may be noted by others as being grand or small.

Yet this should be of no import whatsoever to the one that has achieved, to their personal satisfaction, healing for their self.

Therefore, I am of the opinion that everyone upon this planet in the Pursuit of Happiness, is indeed, also on the path of Self-Healing.

********************************************************************

What acts define the space of healing? Whom are the one’s giving healing and whom are the ones receiving healing?

Every interaction with another resides within the space of healing, if one but opens their perception to a broader context/meaning within our interactions.

We all give and receive healing within this broadened perception.

As example:

Imagine the mother gently placing the cold pack upon the blistered fingers of her child, fingers injured by the touch of the hot pan atop the stove. The mother is not only relieving the physical pain of her child yet is also teaching her child by example how to find relief from her pain incurred by her experience. On some future day this child with blistered fingers, will share this act and knowledge of healing with her own child, when she too touches a hot pan bringing herself pain and injury.

Picture the man listening quietly as his younger brother tells of his heartache and embarrassment when the young lady whom he has so admired, laughed at him in front of his friends, when he finally got up the nerve to ask her on a date. The elder brother proceeds to share with the younger how he too, once felt that way, in a similar situation many years before. Yet he also relates how later, on the same day that he had planned this ‘date’ with the one whom turned him down, he met the young woman that would later become his wife. He treasures and loves his wife dearly and is thankful every day that he was free to meet her on the day that he did, even though at first, the experience that happened that left him free that day, was painful. Some day the younger brother too, shall share with another sad young man in his life, how what felt as a painful and embarrassing situation he came later to understand for the gift it was in bringing him something that was much better for himself than he originally expected or planned.

Envision the elderly man whom sees the young woman approaching the entrance to the grocery with a toddler on hip and her free arm pushing a baby carriage with her newborn nestled inside. The elderly man stops and waits to open the door for this woman even though this is only something he has recently come to do. In his years of physical youth he was just too busy to be bothered. As the busyness faded along with his physical vitality, he had time to reflect on his previous ways, and now feels quite guilty and shameful for his previous behavior. On this day, the gracious smile and the two little words of “thank you” offered by the young mother in return for his thoughtfulness, is a healing balm that helps to release him of some of the guilt that he carries within. The mother too is now being relieved of the pain of anger she had been carrying since earlier in the day when another gentleman at another store did not pause to open the door for her and her children.

All of these are simple examples of how every single day in our life, we are healing unto others, and they unto us.

Truly, with just the act of showing kindness and consideration unto others as we would have shown unto us, we heal each other and with very little inconvenience or effort whatsoever.

In this way, we are all healers and all is healing.

****************************************************************

We learn and we teach.

We teach and we learn.

I acknowledge myself as a healer and have for some time.

My each and every moment is lived within the space of healing.

I have always confided, that when offering healing in some manner to an other, I too am healed.

The Energy that healing comes forth from is given many terms dependent upon one’s personal preference.

The Energy source of Healing has been termed : Source, God, Creator, The One, Universal Divine…and on and on the list goes.

I don’t think it really matters what term one prefers for the source of healing.

What is of importance, is that one knows for their self that it does indeed exist and that this well-spring of healing derived from the “Energy source of Healing” resides within each and every one of us.

**********************************************************************************

So how do we learn to identify and access this well-spring of healing within us?

I feel we find access through the guidance of the ‘children’ of that grand, yet often elusive energy, known as Love.

These children of Love, that act as guides to the well-spring of healing within, are also known as : Kindness, care, appreciation, compassion and passion.

These are but a few examples of the children of Love that lead us to gates of that well-spring of healing within.

While we all are healers and everything is healing you can choose to be of the highest caliber possible for yourself and others as a healer and to be receiving of the most benefit possible within your spaces of healing by aspiring to embody the qualities that these ‘children of Love” stand in representation of, helping you to easily access this well-spring of healing within, for the benefit of yourself and for others.

**********************************************************************

I share the desire with many others walking this world, and with others whom have come before, for a kinder, healthier way of being for myself and all that desire it.

I believe that the more people that come to understand their capacity to heal, and be healed, the greater the opportunity we shall have for realizing a gentler and more loving world.

I have no idea when that should take place, yet it really truly is up to us as a collective, is it not? 🙂

So I am just going to keep on moving forward and hoping that more shall continue to acknowledge their ability to heal themselves and to be of healing to others.

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”– Helen Keller

***********************************************

Have you doubted that you are indeed a healer, in and of yourself?

Have you felt that maybe healing was not to be yours, that you would possibly never know what it is like to be within the space of healing?

If you answered yes to either of these questions I hope you will take the time to consider what I have offered here.

With just a simple re-alignment within yourself of acknowledgment of the healer that you already are and the healing space in which you already reside, you can choose as of this moment to bring forth all of your pure healing potential, for yourself and for all others within your life.

With Blessings, Kachina
