| 'Window to the true source of healing' (Yago, Dublin 2012) |
Perhaps
it's time to stop trying to 'fix' the one in front of you, to stop trying to
give them answers or solve their problems. You're not very good at that,
friend. Your nature is not manipulation, but presence; not division, but
wholeness.
Perhaps it's time to stop pretending to be the all-knowing
authority, the infallible teacher, the healed expert.
Even with the best of
intentions, you may unknowingly be interfering with their natural healing
processes. You may be keeping them dependent on you, distracting them from a
deep trust in their own first-hand experience.
Remember, they may need
to feel worse before they feel better. They may need to feel their pain more
deeply before they open up to the true source of healing. They may need to die
to who they thought they were, before they can truly live. True for them, true
for you.
It's certainly something to consider.
