How can we HEAL our wounds?

Our true nature has infinite healing power. It is pure love. It is the source of all life.

Pure presence effortlessly and naturally heals imbalances.

The more that we exist free from excessive thought and storytelling, the more our true nature heals the body's imbalances. Just as the body heals a cut on the skin without our intervention, our true nature will heal our wounds without our intervention.

We can also facilitate healing by shining the light of consciousness directly on our wounds. Consciously illuminating the darkness is a very direct approach to healing.

The natural tendency is to avoid what is hurt. Avoid pain. It is rarely healthy to avoid emotional or mental pain.

It is even amazing to enter physical pain with pure awareness. A release and ease is often experienced even when we enter physical pain directly.

From an awakened perspective, we know we are safe to enter the pain, because we have repeatedly confirmed that we are untouched by physical and emotional states. And if you are still in doubt about your true nature, have faith that you can safely enter any space with pure consciousness.

Take a moment to enter discomfort with pure awareness.

Enter without judgement. Enter without telling a story. Enter with compassion. Simply enter as a light shining in the darkness. Embrace and accept.

There is a tendency to judge and explain. But imagine a wounded kitten or puppy coming to you and how you would simply offer it your unconditional love and nurturing. Simply enter with this pure love and awareness.

Remember, some pain bodies were formed over many years and they are deeply established. We may need to consciously revisit these discomforts, but eventually the unhealthy pattern is dissolved.

YOU cannot be damaged or ill. But YOU are a healer.

This pure presence that we are is a healing presence.

As it is allowed to naturally shine forth, healing happens.
