We just returned from a few days in New York City — more on that soon.
Throughout the trip, and for about a month beforehand, I had been struggling with a difficult skin issue on my finger.
I had a pretty intense and infected rash on the tip of my middle finger. The slightest touch or friction against it would send intense pain.
I tried various lotions, creams, medicines, a trip to the dermatologist, AI advice, and nothing would heal it.
Finally, I tried something very different.
I did absolutely nothing.
Within a matter of days the area was completely healed.
The same is true with my bout with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in my early twenties.
No amount of doctors, medicines, or prescriptions helped.
It was not until I decided to do nothing except commit to living an optimally healthy lifestyle (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) that slowly, but surely I was healed.
I know of a man who had a motorcycle accident. His right forearm was horrifically gashed open. Dripping with blood, and filled with pebbles, dirt and mud.
He decided to do an experiment. He would do nothing and see what happens. Within a couple of months his arm was completely healed, and as good as new.
This is not to say that medication has never been helpful for me, or others I know. At times it has, and I’m sure will be again.
However, I will make what may seem like a radical statement.
No medication can heal you.
Medication can be an aid in your healing, or it can mask the symptoms of an injury so that you no longer feel the pain. But it doesn’t actually do the healing.
So where then does healing come from?
Science will use a lot of big, fancy words but they cannot answer this most mystical question.
The reality is the entire universe is always and continuously in a state of creation, renewal, and healing.
Healing is coded in the Logos, the original blueprint of the universe.
Life continuously regenerates and heals itself provided we get out of the way.
Cut down the plants in a meadow and new ones begin growing back immediately.
Scrape your knee and the body instantly begins healing itself, without any effort on your part.
Yet, we are conditioned by our education and culture to overlook this self-evident truth.
The more you understand how healing actually works, the more you know how to create that healing space for others.
Whether I’m doing personal coaching, leading a breathwork or meditation session, guiding a retreat, working with a couple, facilitating the mastermind, I have one primary goal in mind:
Create the space where each person can feel safe, relaxed and fully present to be in an unconditional relationship with whatever arises.
When those conditions are met, holistic healing happens on its own — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Present moment awareness is always the agent of transformation.
It’s often not easy, however.
Old, deep wounds, traumas from the past, fears and anxieties about the future can make it a very difficult process.
We live in a culture where we want everything instantaneously. However, true healing is usually a process. That process can take days, months, or even years, depending on the depth of the trauma.
A coach or mentor who can consistently model that state of relaxed presence while supporting you in returning to your original blueprint and living in alignment with your highest purpose can be a vital source of support in that process.
Here’s the most amazing truth.
Healing is never something we force, create, or get from external substances.
Our bodies, our hearts, and our minds were amazingly and intelligently designed to know how to heal and renew themselves.
We only need to be mindful to stop re-injuring ourselves in the same wounded locations to let the healing process commence.
