BECOMING THE HEALER THAT YOU ARE — PART I
Posted on November 4, 2014 by InesBECOMING THE HEALER THAT YOU ARE
What is healing? The words holy, healing and wholeness originally come from the same word. Healing is about returning to the original healing impulse that made us begin our inner journey towards spiritual maturity; the impulse to heal and to be healed.
Healing is the way of the heart. Healing is to open our heart. Healing is an invitation to explore what inner wholeness means to ourselves and others. Within each of us there is a healer. Healing has always been a way and a deep source of healing for me. Healing is basically our own energy, which overflows from our inner being, from the meditative quality within, from the inner silence and emptiness. Healing comes from the silence within us.
Healing is pure love in essence. Love is what creates healing. Love is the strongest force there is. The sheer presence of love in itself is healing. It’s more the absence of love than the presence of love that creates problems.
Healing is a quality which we can freely share without any ownership. Healing is not something that we can claim as our own; healing is to be a medium, a channel, for the whole. Healing is about love—where love is, where to find it and how to develop our natural capacity to give love, to give caring.
This essay is about returning to the inner dimension, to the soul. It’s about returning to the inner source, which is always available within us and which is continuously nourishing, supportive and inspiring. But it’s very easy to forget this inner dimension, because of practical things and the ideas, expectations and demands of other people.
This essay is designed to create an understanding for how healing happens. It presents a new dimension of healing with a base in meditation. It’s about a new dimension of healing, a new way of being. It’s about helping people from heart to heart, from being to being. I want to dispel the myth that only certain have healing qualities or only certain people have special abilities to heal. It’s about developing the inner being of a person. It’s to meet that which is already perfect within a person.
Instead of constantly trying to change ourselves and trying to become “better”, this essay presents a different vision: to learn to love and accept ourselves as we are in the moment. This book presents the therapeutic principles and awareness components that are basic in working with people from love and awareness. These therapeutic principles are the same even when working individually or if we work with groups of people.
Healing is a medium through which we can develop our inner qualities of presence, love, joy, intuition, truth, silence, wisdom, creativity and inner wholeness. Healing comes originally from the silence within, where we are already in contact with the whole, with the divine. Healing is what makes us spread our inner wings of love and silence and soar high in the sky of consciousness and touch the stars. Healing is to be in service to Creator. Healing is to see another person with love and acceptance. Healing is to see that the person is exactly where he should be in order to take the next step in his spiritual growth. Healing is to see what which is already perfect within another person. Healing is to see the beauty within another person. It is an inner journey from the intellect, the dimension of logic, analysis and reason, to the heart, the dimension of unconditional love and acceptance and to the inner being, the dimension of meditation, silence and oneness with life.
The human heart is a healer, which heals others and ourselves. It is the hearts quality of love, acceptance and compassion plus communication through words, which creates healing. Words which come from the heart create healing. A silent listening with a quality of presence and an accepting attitude creates space for healing to happen.
Our heart is a transformation center, which transforms darkness to light, fear to love and separation to wholeness. People who have a quality of heart and sensitivity are naturally healing. Some people don’t understand the difference between giving and taking energy.
With some people that we meet, we become naturally uplifted and inspired. With other people that we meet, we can become tired and heavy. With people who can listen without judgement and evaluation, it’s easy to find the right words to share problems and difficulties. And with other people, it seems almost impossible to find the right words.
People who have a healing presence and quality, can support our own inner source of love, truth and silence through their presence. These people also seem to have an intuitive sense to say the right words, which lifts and inspires us. These are the people whose presence can mirror the inner truth, which we already know deep within ourselves.
To be a healer is to be a friend on the inner path, a light on the path. The gift of healing comes when we see the other person with love and compassion. It’s the quality of heart, which creates the love and the genuine caring for the other person. When our words are carried by the quality of heart, you can say almost anything to the other person and he will still be able to be open and receptive. But if our words lack the quality of heart, it also becomes difficult for the other person to continue to be open and receptive. Even if a therapist is very skillful on a technical level or has a clear clairvoyant ability and still lacks the natural roots in the soil of the heart, then his words won’t touch the heart of the other person.
In every moment, we have the choice between acting out of fear or love, to act out of separation or wholeness. Healing is to act out of love. Acts that arise out of love create healing.
The opposite of love is not really fear. The opposite of love is indifference. Love is the gate to paradise. Indifference is the door to hell. It’s very easy to give out anger, but it’s very difficult to give out love. Healing is to allow the love that is ready within a person to flower.
When I began to work with people almost 20 years ago, it was an insight for me that I really cared about the other person and that it was this love that was communicated beyond the words to the other person. One of my clients described this very nicely when he said that he was impressed by my intuition and by my way of conducting therapeutic work—but that he would rather call this giving insights into love. Love is what allows us to go beyond the surface of the other person and to touch his inner being, his inner essence. Without love, it’s only possible to reach the personality of the other person, to reach the surface and periphery of the person. Healing is a gift both for the giver and the receiver. Through the healing, both the giver and receiver become enriched.
Meditation is the way to develop our natural healing abilities. Healing comes originally from our inner being, from the inner source of silence and wholeness. In the silence, we can let go of all our problems, frustrations, fears, angers and sorrow.
Healing happens when we bring everything that we find inside ourselves out into the light. Healing is to embrace and accept everything that we find inside ourselves without judgement or evaluation. Healing happens when we discover an unconditional love and acceptance for ourselves as we are with both our light and dark sides.
Love and awareness are two aspects of the same phenomenon. The inner awareness expresses itself and is experienced by others on the outside as love. It is an inner quality that exists like a natural radiance around a person. This love and awareness creates a natural impulse to heal.
Healing is to be in the light. Healing is to light the light of our inner being. It means to become aware.
Healing is the door to love and meditation. Healing happens through love, joy, acceptance, intuition, sensitivity, understanding, humor, playfulness, compassion, relaxation, silence and creativity. These qualities belong to the natural flow of our heart and being.
Healing is not about using a specific method, healing is to invite another person into our inner light, to invite a person into our presence, love, joy, acceptance, humor, understanding, playfulness, meditation and silence. Healing means to be present for a person as a supporting presence, as a supporting light. Healing is to meet another person through our meditative presence, through our heart, through our light. Healing can also be a loving word, an understanding glance, a gentle touch, a silent listening or simply joking with someone to make them happy.
Humor is one of the best healers to see our situation and ourselves in a new and creative light. It’s very easy to give advice, but our advice is not authentic if it’s not grounded in our own experience. Anyone can give advice, but to act out of the heart gives a different quality. The heart is the healer.
Many years ago I was told that I had the capacity to become a crown chakra healer, a spiritual healer, to act as a channel and catalyst for spiritual energy from the 7th chakra through the heart. At that time I had no idea what a crown chakra healer really was and since then it has been a continuous process during the last 20 years to deepen and develop my understanding about what a crown chakra healer is. Since then I have developed my own method/technique using light as a synchronizer of energies. This way I can work with larger groups of people, although I rarely do this as I prefer to work with people on a more intimate level. It allows a person to come in direct contact with his own inner being, with his own life source. With my intellect I still don’t understand how this way of working functions. It’s not a way of working, which can be understood on a method level. It’s a way of working, which relates directly to the heart and which can only be understood through insight and experience.
The greatest teacher in healing is nature itself. To be out in nature is like being surrounded and embraced by love. Trees are also very beautiful people, who have their own innate wisdom and are already in oneness with Existence. And the sky whispers its silent messages that beyond everything, there is only one sky.
There is nothing in nature that questions each others existence like people do. Everything is allowed to exist and everything is allowed to be exactly as it is, and seasons come and go. It’s not strange that people love to be out in nature and experience harmony within themselves, because there is nothing that tries to change them out in nature. There is a quality in the air, which can be called a meditative quality. Anytime you are outdoors try to walk bare foot, we have lost our connection with Mother Earth and with that loss, we are unable to heal properly.
Once we have discovered the inner source of love, healing, joy, acceptance, understanding, compassion, silence and creativity, we will never lose it.
Healing is to be in the light of our own consciousness. Healing is an inner light, which exists as a natural radiance around a person, like an Aura. This inner light is in itself a healing force beyond words. This inner light disperses darkness like when you light a candle in a dark room and the darkness disappears by itself. This inner light exudes a subtle influence just through its presence. The more the light in our own consciousness is lit, the more it creates a subtle effect in the world.
