Speak up to Heal!

September PROMPTS for NaMoBloPo is Healing... Here goes to launch the HEALING MONTH...

Speechless. No words to describe the depth of despair and the pungent pain that hits one in the gut.

This may be personal hurt or pain because the society and systems do not allow for anything better. And then- it rains. It washes everything away and lets the new emerge. Till that new dawn, everything is crowded, and bare simultaneously. For healing to happen, the hurt needs to be washed away. For the pain to disappear, the pain must be attended to. For vision to be cleared, either we must wear new glasses or clean the ones we were wearing earlier.

The Old, and the hurt, and the pain must be cleared to make way for the new.

Speaking about it- if only to yourself creates the space to clear it. Meditating to heal is more powerful than trying simply to not hurt. Mere absence of pain is not healing. However, for healing to happen, pain must be seen, acknowledged and accepted. In its full force and in its complete glory- if we can call it that!

The rain is grand in its washing away of all the dirt and the grime that might have stuck to the windshield of our life, but even from the other side, we can not deal with it by not running our wipers to clean the blurring by the rain. 

Today, a friend advised me to cut the cords! The cords than bind and suffocate that do not allow hurt to be healed. That also mean cutting connectedness! :-( I was thinking this is not the way to heal. 

To heal is to call upon all forces to help build a better reality. Instead I opted to do a Heart Chakra Reiki session. And felt amazing!! 

Thank you Reiki for being here.

Thank you symbols for being here.

Thank you God for being here.

Thank my Self for being here. 

Then, placing my hand on heart chakra I intentioned for healing to happen. 

I spoke to myself. I spoke to the Universe. I spoke to feel better, not simply to 'not feel hurt'. 

Even Reiki recognises that my SELF needs to be seen and acknowledged as an important agent of healing. Energy must flow from the ebb and create a tidal wave of contentment and peace, where nothing else can matter.  

So speak when you hurt. Speak if you must heal. Speak to those you hold dear. Or speak your own self- and hold that SELF dear. 

Sometimes the violence is so senseless and the egos so strong that the sun must make a extra effort to rise from behind the clouds. 

However, the clouds are momentary- and the sun? Well- the sun is as eternal as we can get! 

Even The Bible says it- "Physician heal thyself!" in Luke 4:23 and places the self foremost. Reconnecting with the source requires us to first connect with ourselves. And then look outward. Like an infant, when we hurt, we look outward to fix a blame and repair the damage. We look to the farthest toy and pine for the good feeling it will give to hold it in our ands. Little do we realise that the closer we focus, the easier it will be to deal with. Sometimes when we must- we should! It is not very easy, but it is quite simple.  To let go of hurt, we need not cut any cords that hold us together- we must simply let go of the chains that tether. 

Letting go is not giving up. It is not holding on. 

Speaking up is not screaming. It is not shouting. 

It is only saying what needs to be said- and let the word heal. 

Where there were trees, there shall be rocks. Where there were rocks, shall sprout new tender greens. Defying death. Completing the circle of Life!
