When we travel from one place to another, we often refer to it as “going on a journey”. But not all journeys involve physical distance. Moving from one state of being to another – emotionally, mentally or spiritually – is a journey too. It takes time, reflection and the maturing of self-awareness and perception.
The transition from dis-ease to health and wellbeing is one such journey. And it’s rarely as linear as we would like it to be. We might wish for a quick fix, a magical switch from discomfort to perfect wellness.
While instant transformation is possible, we must ask ourselves: what would truly change if our mindset remained the same? Most likely the state of health gained in this way may not be sustainable, because the inner transformation may not have had a chance to take place.
Our state of wellbeing is a reflection of what is going on in our inner world – our thoughts, feelings, and the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. We may be completely unaware about what we are telling ourselves daily through our inner dialogue. We may not know either that we have the power to change it, once we have become conscious of those patterns.
The body acts as a messenger for the Soul, signalling where we may be out of alignment – where choices and thoughts may not be serving our highest good. Physical symptoms can offer profound insight. For instance, issues with the legs, knees or feet might suggest we feel stuck and unable to move forward. Challenges in the shoulders, arms or hands might point to burdens we have “shouldered”, or to the possibility that we may have given away our power.
What if the real treasure lies in understanding what our Soul is trying to communicate?
Healing begins with inner transformation. This is the journey of healing. And once we arrive in a place of more peace, joy and love, we know that we wouldn’t have missed the journey that got us there. Like climbing a mountain, that trek may present its challenges – like detours, getting stuck in a bog, or feeling lost – but reaching the summit and looking back at what it took, leaves us utterly empowered. Imagine being dropped at the top by a helicopter instead, this wouldn’t be able to compare.
The healing journey can have its ups and downs. But with every step we experience inner growth, and we come to know what we are made of. We did it!
One powerful compass on this journey is the process of identifying and clearing the emotions and beliefs that have silently held us back for so long. Each one we release lifts a weight off our shoulders and brings us closer to lightness and freedom.
