Healing

“All of western medicine is built on getting rid of pain, which is not the same as healing. Healing is actually the capacity to hold pain.” -Dr. Gabor Mate

My healing journey, especially as it relates to grief, has been about holding my pain.

Generally, I feel like healing is a lifelong journey where you’re carving yourself into whoever it is you want to become. Before you start carving, you have to take a look at where you’re at and what you’re working with. Now please don’t jump into a spiritual gap analysis. My intention today is to just get you to step back and witness yourself. Look at yourself like you’d look at someone you love. No judgement. No suggestions. Just a loving witness to a human on this journey called life.

Taking a moment to pause and witness yourself increases your capacity. I invite you to set a timer for 1 minute and observe yourself. How’s your breathing? How’s your body? How ya feeling? …

Hope you’re well <3
