Precious Healing Moments

“We cannot change anything unless we accept it.”
 C.G. Jung

Have you ever watched Kung Fu Panda II?  There is a scene in which Po was about to discover what he really went through when he was a baby panda.  He had headaches and couldn’t remember what was going on. The lamb asked him to stop resisting and just let it happen. At the moment when he stopped resisting, finally everything came to him; all the memory suddenly surfaced and he could see what really happened to him. When his repressed memories came back, he finally discovered why he became an orphan. His mother sacrificed her own life to protect him from getting killed. With this realization, all the bitter feelings of being abandoned was replaced by the love his mom had for him.

This scene expresses so well what healing is all about! Something painful happened to us in our past. It was so painful that we’d rather forget about it and repress it so deep in our subconscious. However, to experience healing, we need to consciously allow these painful image and energies to resurface; be seen, be understood, and be accepted.  When we go through this process, a part of us is healed, and we have taken another big step towards wholeness.

Life naturally brings back lots of healing opportunities for us.  When something triggers us; when we feel pain and would rather drown it in alcohol, sex, social media, or shopping, it’s a sign that there is something our Soul wants to show us and help us heal.  Life wants to bring back healing and love to us.  Are you brave enough to let Her do the work? May we be brave enough to embrace these precious moments and fully utilize their healing power!  May healing and love prevail in our lives!
