First, love

If you can love, you can heal.



The more I practice healing others, the more I realize that healing is love.  

And love is healing. 

When healing we speak of "intention", but what exactly does that mean?  The dictionary will tell you that to have intention means to have in mind a purpose or plan, to direct the mind, to aim. 

Strangely, when healing, it means almost the opposite.   Yes, you have a purpose (to heal) but there is no directing the mind to make a specific healing happen.  There is no aiming to control the outcome.  To heal you relinquish control (see last weeks post) and just allow whatever happens to happen.   You support your client and trust that s/he gets what's needed  - even if neither of you understand it. 

Relinquish control.  Trust.  Support.  Kind of sounds like love, doesn't it? 

First, love.  Healing will follow.

  11. Laurie Namaste,

    And thank you for this post. It is beautifully expressed and absolutely true. When we realize we are the source of love, we can heal ourselves and then support others to heal. It has nothing to do with the mind and everything to do with what the mystics call the Great Heart, or the Void.

    Om and Blessings,

    Juliex

  12. Placing a comma between the words changes the meaning of the words. Nobody else I've read (so far) took this challenge the way you did. Creative! http://myheartblogstoyou.blogspot.com/2011/06/one-moms-first-love.html

  15. @Peter Petterson - thanks - I try to keep them short.

    @Alison - I hadn't really thought of it this way before either. This is a relatively new learning for me.

    @Julie - thank you for your wise words.

    @Theresa Wiza - the power of the comma never ceases to amaze me.

    @Sylvia Ney - yes it can! All we can do is continue to try.

    @Marian - thank you
