Ways To Be A Healing Force Wherever You Go
Last week, I encouraged you to be a force for healing. I want to expand on that today.
For some people, such as anyone in a mental or physical health care field, it's obvious. You're already doing it. (Thank you.) It's enough, unless you feel strongly called to do more. Others of you may also have a clear idea about how you want to be or already are a force for healing.
But some of you may still be wondering how best to be a vehicle for healing in your world. I want to reassure you that it need not be an ambitious project. In fact, working in ways that come naturally may be best. Defining healing broadly--as helping people rebuild their wholeness, regain the fullness of who they are, live in harmony with others and the world, and be on a fulfilling life-path--there are endless ways to be a healing force. Here are a few ideas:
Is there healing that you yourself need, on any level? Can you commit to good self-care, and can you dedicate that to the betterment of all? Can you keep your own energy highly calibrated with meditation, time in nature, compassion, positive and harmonious thoughts?
Are you a parent? Can you teach your children self-care and self-healing practices? Compassion and tolerance? Reverence for the earth? Can you heal multi-generational wounds and dysfunctional behaviors, so as not to pass them on?
Can you heal a patch of ground? Create beauty? Cultivate order and coherence?
At work, can you refrain from participating in needless drama? Tap into the highest vibration of your organization's/job's mission? Try to be an uplifting, harmonizing influence?
In your interactions with others, can you see the best in people? Give a word of encouragement? Appreciate and acknowledge others?
More generally, can you practice basic principles of energy healing as you go about your life? If so, you'll automatically be a healing force in all you do.
Presence
Deep, non-judgmental presence heals and creates space for transformation.
Intentions are directed thoughts, and can be incredibly powerful. You can use this power in any situation by holding an intention for the recipient's highest good.
What we say and think has a huge impact on those around us. By maintaining positive thoughts and speech, we help others hold positive beliefs and thus create good outcomes for themselves.
Energy flows where attention goes. Your attention feeds whatever you give it to. Whatever the situation, focus on the potential for good, evolution and healing.
I could go on, but you get my drift. Healing work, whether on a global scale or in the privacy of your own heart, is mostly about intention. Start where you are and go from there. You got this.
Next week, I'll write about another way to be a healer: sending energy to people or situations.
