In the haze of sleep, swimming in the place between being awake and in a dream, a thought about healing hijacks my mind.

In order to heal, we have to crack open.

The vessel of self has to split and then the light can get in, begin the work of restoring harmony. The space that is created, the energy that comes flooding through to guide us towards what will support us in the process of recovery. This self-discovery is not only cyclical within linear time but it is also happening on multiple levels. I have found that if it can occur in a different part of the self rather then the mind it will be more effective.

If it happens energetically or physically there is more movement. If it is just in the mind or psychologically then it will get stuck in the cogs of mental process and only get part of the way. Or the person will already “think” that they know the answer and get stalled out there.

The process really has to take them down in order for it to work. There has to be many chinks in the armor or else our ego, controlling mind will prevail and keep us living within an illusion.

One of the reasons the acupuncture works well for this kind of ripening phenomena is because it functions on the energetic level, by-passing the mind and the will.

This is not necessarily quick work but it is valuable work. It can not be forced or simulated. It is the migration of the human being. Everyone is moving through life, dealing with their suffering and resistance to change. And through this process we are letting go, growing and moving towards a state of wisdom and connection.
