"Healed Healing" - Integrity in Energy Work

The following is reprinted from the blog Well Part Coaching - LLC - Be Well and Margaret's posting therein dated October 10, 2010.

In the midst of steadfastly engaging in personal work, those similarly on a path of healthy transformation have the powerful potential to intentionally and/or naturally contribute to our journey. Alongside individual responsibility for one's own work and one's own well-being, is an interconnection wherein a shift in one can energetically impact another despite the distance between them. In the case of Birth Your Truth's (BYT's) distance energy work, there is a mutually understood holding of intention.

From my vantage point the importance of my forging ahead with personal work serves a purpose for me and those with whom I am connected, however, there is a larger goal related to the advancement of integrity in healing facilitation.

In conversation with a shaman and sound healer, a perspective on the concept of the "wounded healer" as having outlived the "punch that it once had" was discussed. This was not to dishonor the authenticity, perspective and value that the challenges of life deliver, but to emphasize that what is really needed are "healed healers", healers who themselves are willing to do their work and practice on-going self-care so as to enhance their capacity to work with others who themselves are committed to their own healing journeys.

In thinking of my emerging energy work, I think of it in the following ways.

1. Personal Work.
2. Portrayal of Commitment to "Healed Healing".
3. Exemplification of Mindfulness and Integrity in Energy Work
4. Demonstration of Healing Practices that When Embraced Both Advance Personal Work and Provide Lessons Learned Regarding the Facilitation of Healing in Others.

I am blessed to have an ever-growing circle of like-minded and evolutionary people with whom I interact either casually or formally, circles holding sacred places and honoring sacred purposes.

Embracing the words of a great movie line, "You have to surf beyond your comfort zone to catch the next great wave of your life.

Birth Your Truth's First Blog Post: The Poem - Intuition's Legacy

This is the first blog post for Birth Your Truth.   It serves as a meaningful reflection upon breathing life into the vision which gave birth to this mind, body and spirit entrepreneurial endeavor, an energy spa.

The following poem comes from the book, Earth Medicine: Ancestors’ Ways of Harmony for Many Moons by Jamie Sams.

Intuition’s Legacy

There is a place inside us
Where we feel what we know.
If we act on that intuition,
Doors open, urging us to grow.
The legacy of inner knowing
Comes from Great Mystery’s grace;
Learning to trust these feelings
Is a talent we develop and embrace,
Ultimate trust of the Self,
And inspiration’s guiding light,
Allows humankind to develop
The rare gifts of second sight.
When we embrace growth potential,
Feeling -- with all that we are --
Then the legacy of intuition
Allows us to reach for the stars.
Nothing outreaches our senses,
Nothing is too hard to attain,
We serve the truth through healing
The limitations our minds contain.
Intuition is born from reflecting all the senses that we can feel,
Then implicitly trusting that knowing
Gives the guidance that allows us to heal.

Have a beautiful day … with many more to come!

Namaste: The divine in me greets the divine in you.
