RE: The Wounded Healer- A Beacon Of Light.
I would suggest to find your answers by turning inwards, @yogidarshan. Most of all you could be asking yourself: What made me write this comment with a negative expactation of what the answer could be? Why am I using a sentence starting with "sorry, but"? What do I know about this person? Why do I judge her?
Let's please be nice and a bit humble.
This would defeat the purpose, though. I thought the author was supposed to be a healer. When I answer all questions by turning inwards, then I do not need a healer, which proves my point.
Still, I acknowledge that I do know some answers to my own questions. I kind of understand how being wounded first can serve as an additional factor in becoming a healer, yet I believe it is not enough.
Surely, though, being wounded may help to relate to somebody else, but is not enough to heal them.
I would like to learn more from the article. It says:
How come, then, not everybody is a healer?
Hey @yogidarshan, I'll jump in with my perspective. No 'absolutes', this just my experience-based subjective (and unqualified :) opinion.
No 'qualification' required IMO, but study of oneself crucial ("always working on oneself"). This could also be 'knowing' how one operates - ie having deeply explored one's own wound(s) (which includes, as a first step, acknowledging it/them), There is no fixed way of anything, it is all discovery. We are greatly assisted in this by others who share their experiences (like @ana-stasia does above). No qualifications reqd. and no limitations to this discovery of self. Learning is non-stop, but not an effort.
Agreed 'you do not need a healer'. Rather, you are your own healer....any 'healing' coming via another being is really just energy being channeled by you and for you. You are the one that heals yourself by accepting this. Secondly, IMO, expecting anyone else to provide you with answers is to never find True answers, coz the high-grade stuff all lies within. Plenty of high-quality guidance on the 'outside' of course!
Everyone has the potential to be a healer, but not all have started the process of consciously healing themselves. No 'healer' can heal a person who resists healing. A 'healer' who has not healed will likely have their own need for healing overtake any 'healing' they are 'doing'. IMO, you raise a really good point, coz, actually we are all healers (another way of looking at it is: we are already healed).
If you've made it down here, I invite you to note the resistance, the undertones of wounded aggression in the first comment you made in this thread:
Please do, if you so wish, also observe the judgements and assumptions within. These are expressions of wounds if you can turn 'innwards' as @mayb suggests, and acknowledge them. All judgements are essentially self-judgements - the negative energy indirectly directed at self is but an expression of the unacknowledged wound, the buried pain. Healing, whatever it may be, is soft and gentle... self healing therefore, must mean being soft and gentle on oneself...right?
And before you ask, I am nobody and I love it :D
Thank you for your reply. I upvoted it, but I don't think it was needed, as @ana-stasia got back to me, and told me what I wanted to know.
I actually know much of what you wrote above. I just wanted to know whether the author of the article knew all of these.
As you noticed, I was quite aggressive in my original comment. These were the days when I was new to Steemit, and I didn't know how to find good content. I would contact authors directly when they published New Age content that was too vague for me to understand. Now I follow a few people and mute the ones I do not like. (I do follow @ana-stasia, though).
I hear that what you are saying is that people may use the assistance of somebody who has been thru the process of healing.
I could write about a programmer who had to write plenty of software for their own computer before they were able to do it professionally for others ;)
There is a scene in Matrix when Morpheus points Neo to a door, and says that Neo will have to enter it. (But Morpheus still enters with them to comfort them).
Everything is symbiotic, all happening at multiple levels; our individual choice which level(s) to engage with.
As I see it, 'comfort' is different from 'healing' and 12 days is not a large amount of time :D
Namaste!
