Healing is not about fixing your body, although it may. It’s not about repairing your situation, but it might. Healing is not a return to what was before the setback or loss occurred.

The real question is, what do you get from healing?

Healing enhances your resilience and deepens your wisdom. And science confirms that wisdom is the source of intuition.

What slows down healing? Why would you not want more resilience, wisdom and intuitive skills? Science also confirms that your mind is in charge of your emotions, and your personal energy budget, and that your actions contribute to your mindset and your mood.

It’s all in your head. By that I mean, your power, and your perceived lack of it. Your power to heal – or not – is all in your mind.

Clinging to anything more than knowing you will increase resilience, wisdom and intuition can slow down the healing process. It has the potential to obstruct healing. You’re spending your life force – your personal energy budget – on clinging, rather than on healing.

Accepting that resilience, wisdom and intuition may be all you’ll get from healing will reduce the pressure you’ve placed on your body, mind, emotions, soul and spirit to perform and produce results.

Visualise this: Unplug your power out of your current definition of healing. Then take that power and plug it into accepting resilience, wisdom and intuition. Train your brain. Pull yourself up every time you’re tempted to fall back into your old definition of healing. It’s out of date.

And remember, sharing your wisdom is a valuable contribution to the evolution of consciousness within the collective mind, soul and spirit.
