Are You Healing Your Pain or Seeking Inner Peace? (my two cents)
The brief essay below is meant to be a point of reflection, not criticism or judgment.
Many of you on this distribution are healing art professionals, and you are here because you have your own journey to travel. The material I provide is simply an inner peace journey resource for your recognition and your clients.
Pain is your body’s way of reminding you that something is not working in your life. Pain is also the body’s way of maintaining balance. Pain gets our attention. When you come to a place of reckoning with your pain or a client’s dis-ease, is there an intention for healing or an intention of inner peace? If you are looking for healing, then you have achieved neither healing nor inner peace. You or your client may have experienced a release from the pain, and that release may last for many years. But if inner peace is not the intention, then a bypass has been created. The zero point, the point of resonance and oneness, inner peace, has not been realized.
For example, a person may have severe pain that leads to the surgical removal of their gallbladder. The removal of the gall bladder is a healing process. After a bit of recovery, the person is now out of pain. But, they have not achieved inner peace with the dissonant emotions the gall bladder held. The emotional issue(s) goes unhealed and will eventually bring them back to the physician’s office for the next experience of ‘healing’. A bypass has been created.
In the example above, I used an experience of something obvious to most healers. Emotional pain is more subtle in its dissonance and bypasses are easily created. When doing emotional release work, you or your client feels a release from the emotional pain, but is there inner peace? Was there an intention for inner peace at the outset, or was it simply a release from the emotional or physical pain? How do you know if there is more to the pain journey? Emotional dissonance is comprised of different vibrational frequencies that we label generically. Your work may address the different vibrational frequencies, but does it take a person to inner peace? If you are seeking a healing, are you walking around the issue, not through it to inner peace?
