When you go to a doctor with a broken leg, you expect nothing less than to have the bone set and to go through a rehab process that returns you to full functionality. When you can do all the things you did before, you have completely healed.
But when it comes to healing self-worth issues, trauma, and other inner injuries, it seems like the best modern day healers can do for people these days is to give them a few painkillers and some metaphorical crutches to perpetually hobble around upon. Crutches can be things like affirmations where a person is trying to talk themselves into positivity and feeling good, and this practice effectively masks or ignores the wound that is trying to emerge to be healed. This crutch like many others leaves a lot of people extremely limited in their ability to live. Many people are just trying to survive while they struggle with wounds of all sorts.
As I’ve gone on my journey as a spiritual teacher, I have experienced, helped, and witnessed the complete healing of all kinds of issues. When an issue deeply drops away, you are no longer inhibited by it. You feel a renewed sense of life, vitality, clarity, openness, peace, love, and/or many other things. There is no faking complete healing. You feel it without trying to feel anything. It’s just how things are, and there’s no need to use any of the old crutches either.
But the path to complete healing is very often uncomfortable. If the “self-worth bone” is broken, then we have to set it. In that process of “bone-setting,” it seems to be the case that you have to feel to heal. Most attempts to avoid pain–unless you’re dealing with things like severe PTSD in which medication is often extremely necessary to prevent an individual from self-harm or harming others–is ultimately thwarting your own healing process.
