Healing

The healing that I have experienced so far in only 2 months is so profound and deep it's so amazing. January's Clan Mother is, Talks With Relations, and she helped me to see where I needed to work on my relationship with myself on more than one level. February's Clan Mother is, Wisdom Keeper, one of the things she does is help us to recall memories we need to heal.

January helped me to see the false self I had created to be safe in this world. February has helped me to see the true self I have always been; kind, gentle, deeply connected to nature, appreciates beauty and creates beauty. I had wanted to have joyful memories from before a painful event happened as a child. The memories I received was of me and who I was and that deep love and connection to nature. Unmasking the false self has not been easy. It's something I have been working on for many many years. My silent retreats and my intention have really sped up this process. I have had a lot of anger and sadness to acknowledge, heal and release.

I am sooo grateful to shed those old skins of the false self. My ego attachment to it has been very strong. When I first started my silent retreat in January, I heard, "Welcome Home". I really have come home to myself. It's been a long and arduous journey at times, but a truly healing, powerful, wonderful reunion.

One of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is to quiet our minds. Cut out all of the deistractions in our lives to see who we really are. It may be painful at times, not because who we are is bad, because who we are is so pure and sweet. The pain is in the remembering and what we have done to forget.

From the purest place of love inside me, I recognize that in you, from this place may we live in peace, Namaste.
