Healing from Within


Frequently over the past little while it has come up about reflecting on my personal journey of healing.  The person I find in this moment, as I look inward, is a healthy man, capable of continuing in the health that I has become part of my day to day activity and thought process.

  Not one moment of my life prior can I say was I this mentally and physically healthy. From the age of 16 till nearly 32 I was on and off of medications frequently to try and cope with the stimulus of daily living, now I can boast 2 years completely medication free, other than the medicine of good food and good people and a good practice.  I am more capable today than at any point in time before. Thank all the powers that be.

  I don't think I needed to be 'fixed' rather I needed to 'be'. To have the allowance to be present and aware, to observe my state regardless of how it might present itself. Good or bad, what is in the moment is what that moment has. Nothing to learn, no where to be other than being in that moment, here right now, present and observing without an attachment to what is to come.

 A good amount of my person inner turmoil's came from dwelling on perceived outcomes, 'If I just did a and b than c should result' which so often was not the case.  Having non-attachment to me does not mean that I go about life in a detached manner, but rather a manner of awareness with an attitude of acceptance of what will be will be. Continue to pursue each moment.

  Each of us are part of an unfolding story. This life is a full spectrum of good and bad. Change is the only certainty in this life, practice handling those changes one breath at a time.
