Have you been feeling a calling towards helping other through suffering?
Have you have any health challenge that has been extremely difficult to bare?
Do People often come to you with their health problems?
If you've answered yes to these three questions above maybe you may be called to be a healer of some sort. I don't mean to sound woo or mystical because at some point we will all come to the point where we have to learn how to heal difficult wounds AND we all come to make a choice.
There was a time in the past before medical institutions where establish where individuals who had encounter deep traumatic experiences where in some sorts force to then look deep into themselves for different levels of healing.
Through their suffering came a new understanding of how the body and mind works and through that wisdom attracted people in their community that were then in great need of the knowledge it took to heal from traumas of all sorts.
In this era they were no know ways of communicating with similar individuals but most of them had reach similar conclusions .
The art of medicine is the ability to amuse the patient, while nature takes its course. its the art of learning how to get out of your own way. The mind and our current society has an incredible ability to impede the natural self correcting ability of the body.
They were many names for these individuals, the most common one is called the shaman.
However in modern times these individuals and practices where shoved in the dark, demonized and even called pseudo scientist and witches. Herbs,Chinese and Ayurverdic medicine, Movement practices like Yoga, Chi gong , meditation, Sound healing and other healing Arts where Now becoming fringe and through misunderstanding place them on the back burner of medicine.
Maybe this swing in the pharmaceutical direction was necessary so we can decide what path we wanted to go on and if there is a healthy balance between the two and that we can now use science to validate some of these ancient but very effective practices and ways of living.
The Path of the Wounded Healer can not be cookie cutter because each wound is unique on its own and the person carrying that wound is just as unique. a unique genetic make up, culture, internal story of creation and a unique dream.
Maybe this is part of your path, This is how you can make meaning out of your own pain and maybe it is not the "Normal" methods of healing but still yet very important piece of the puzzle.
the world needs you, your creations and your unique capabilities.
IF what Im sharing resonates with you, let me know, Id love to hear your thoughts.
