Healing: A Matter of Response-Ability

Published by admin on October 28, 2008

Recognition of how we are responding to our universe is a powerful key to healing. All to often, when we for instance, feel emotional about something we see in a movie, or some item of news, we tend to externalise these feelings and “feel sorry” for the character we are learning about.  But in reality we are missing the point. The characters we are learning about, are usually unknown to us, and in the case of a most movies, they are fiction. So that means our reactions are coming from ourselves, we are identifying with a “loss” of our own. The movie or news item, is an opportunity for us to heal that particular identification, and if it is being shrugged off and suppressed again, it will stay with us until we are willing to deal with it and a healing can take place.

As Gregg Braden puts it in his book, *The Divine Matrix, “ancient traditions suggest that the ‘experience’ loop of life continues for as long as it takes us to find our greatest healing.”

We seem to defend against surprisingly, nothing. More surprisingly is the vulnerability we feel when we manage for a split second, to drop our defences. What do we think is going to happen in our life if we were to permit ourselves to become defenceless? Do we have hidden fears about experiencing a higher spiritual consciousness? If so, what is so scary about it?
