As human beings we do hold the power within us to heal our lives. The journey that has taken me to discovering my own healing potential was breast cancer. It was not this journey alone that was my wakeup call. It was a culmination of many years work prior to this diagnoses which is often referred to “peeling away the layers of the onion”. Letting go of FEAR opened the door to my faith and belief in me - “Unconditional self love”.
Just as a flower needs to be planted in nourishing soil, given manure and fertilizer, watered regularly, have sunshine to grow. We as humans need to do this for us as well. Placing yourself first, not in a vein way, but loving and nurturing YOU, is not selfish. Often people, who judge, have not been taught this or women often use this message that it is Selfish to make you feel guilty.
Receiving is the balance of Giving.
We live in a balance world.
So fill up the vessel that is YOU.
How can you give to others if you are an empty vessel?
The best example is the oxygen mask on a plane they always tell you to put on yours first and then assist others.
This passage came from a message from DailyOM to my inbox. “A self-healing day should address the vital needs of the self as a whole while directing healing energy where it is needed most. Solitude is an important part of the process as is the ability to take refuge in a space that is both beautiful and peaceful. Start your healing day by setting the intention that you are dedicating this time to healing yourself. Flowers, candlelight, incense, and music can guide our focus toward a more tranquil state.”
Healing is about care. Listening to that inner guidance that says “go for a walk, have a nap, draw a picture, sit and take some time to do what brings a smile to your face and be still”. Since my own healing, especially this past 7 weeks while recuperating after my breast reconstruction surgery, I need to give my body time to heal. Take time out; sit in the park, read a book, enjoy a chat on the phone or go for a walk this has been a challenge.
I have been impatient that it is not happening fast enough. This is the “ego mind” trying to be in charge. When I let go of those thoughts, I am reminded by friends and messages from the Universe this is a time for REST.
Being OK with where I am now is important because there is time for the rest to happen. For now it is time to practice stillness and BEING.
