Healing comes in many forms . . . a bandage, a hug, surgery, energy work, physical therapy, a massage, the laughter of a child . . . the list could go on and on. There are as many healing modalities as there are reasons for the need to heal.
I have discovered that healing not only comes in various embodiments, but manifests in diverse ways. Sometimes healing means recovery and recuperation. Sometimes it means forgiving and moving on. Sometimes it means embracing what is and loving the reality of your life. No matter the form or process, healing hinges on openness and reception.
When faced with serious illness, tragic events or a broken heart, it may seem difficult or impossible to heal. But as I have opened up to the possibilities, and lost my attachment to what healing looks like, I have found that healing is always possible and available. And the most important aspect to healing, in my experience, is belief . . . belief in ones' self, and belief in the method of healing you practice, employ or apply. Believing that things can and will get better, and letting go of what that looks like, is an amazing gift I can give myself.
What I have come to be grateful for is my understanding that healing is less about reclaiming a previous ideal, and more about spiritual growth and development, and finding joy in any circumstance. Do I believe in miracles? Absolutely! And they are happening around us always. The miracle can be complete recovery or loving what is. Whatever it looks like, we can all be healed.
