YOUR LIFE A-Z:HEALING

WHOLENESS IS BEAUTIFUL 

HEALING

The definition of HEALING is to make whole or restore to original health.  However, the goal of HEALING needs to surpass original health and bring a vibrant sense of well being to the whole being, body, soul, and spirit.  It is important to seek HEALING for optimal health in the three above areas.   Think about the times in your life when you have been in need of HEALING.   What were you looking for?  What did you feel you needed to be whole again?  HEALING comes in many different forms, from HEALING gardens to HEALING touch with a mixture of emotional, physical, and spiritual HEALING in between.  What HEALING do you seek now?  Does your soul ache for something more? Does your spirit thirst for a touch from the divine?  Are you facing physical illness that has you forlorn and frightened?  HEALING does not always mean fixed.  Sometimes HEALING is the process of acceptance of what is verse trying to change something to suit your temporary need.  If you accepted the situation you are currently faced with and realized you cannot change it or make it different, the very acceptance of that fact will relax you into a calm peace.  Yes, sadness might be there with you and even regret.  But those emotions will lift as you move toward acceptance.  Choosing to focus on how awful a situation is verses how real a situation is a key ingredient to reaching your own HEALING.  HEALING happens when the struggle against ceases.

YOUR LIFE A-Z:SEEK

ALWAYS SEEK AND EXPLORE

SEEK

Don’t settle for the ordinary.  SEEK after the answer to your heart’s burning questions.  SEEK meaning, purpose, quality, and compassion in your day-to- day routine.  SEEK to love those around you; don’t just SEEK to be loved. SEEK within to bring light to your own dark shadows that keep you trapped in negative behavior and feelings.  Jesus reportedly says in two separate accounts, SEEK the Kingdom of God within you and SEEK the truth, and it will set you free.  As the hero/shero of your own destiny you will have arduous tasks and obstacles to overcome and bring the best out of yourself.  The question remains, how do you sabotage yourself in ways that keep you repeating old exhausting patterns of remaining the victim of your own passivity?  Get in the game of life and SEEK to experience the joy of your existence, the joy of breathing (yoga and meditation will help with that), the joy of being able to be alive one more day.  Make the most of it.  It is hard to confront our darkness.  It is hard to see the shattered mirror of our pretend self and SEEK the truth of our indiscretions, personal pain, and our own shortcomings.  We all have them.  We all pretend that we don’t.  In AA it is important to do a personal inventory of how we have hurt others.  List your own inventory and SEEK forgiveness and light to heal your darkness.  SEEK until your Quest is finished and then there will be a new quest.  We are born to SEEK.
