Healing is an upward spiral

Healing is a process that involves all the parts of you, your body, mind, feelings and it includes your family, friends and community. Healing is tending to what calls out for aid and what most needs our attention. Life seems to pause until we tend to this, sometimes needing our whole attention.

We are a growing and evolving being. Healing is the same. On my healing journey I have witnessed how I revisit the sites of my trauma as the years go by. As I grow and evolve, I see them with different eyes in an evolving context of knowledge and understanding. It really is a dynamic process and can be shaped and influenced by circumstances and events in my life. That’s why time has the power to heal because we change our perspective over time. What once was unbearable is now tolerable or maybe even a gift.

Reflecting on this journey, I can’t really say to you, “be patient” or “growth can be uncomfortable”. I can though say be kind to you and all the parts of you. No one deserves pain. The most powerful healing tool you have is kindness. Begin with You.
