June 22 RELAXING IS HOW WE HEAL Stopping, calming, and resting are preconditions for healing. When animals in the forest are wounded they find a place to lie down and rest completely for many days.... they just rest, and get the healing they need. -- Thich Nhat Hanh We hurt. We suffer. We wrong our loved ones and they do wrong by us. Reaching, desperately for an answer will not help us. Pretending were not hurting doesnt help, either. When we are wounded, the wound needs rest in order to heal. So it is with your souls. If we poke at our hurt, pick at the sore, rub it in the dirt of others opinions, we do not allow it time to heal. If youve been hurt, accept that. Feel the hurt. Be aware of it. Let it heal. Maybe it would be better if you didnt talk to that person for a while. Maybe you need to let go of the relationship. Maybe you just need some quiet time. Whatever the answer is, find a safe place and allow yourself to heal. If youre feeling pain, be aware of it. Feel the pain, and then quit picking at the wound. Lie low. Quit fighting. Relax. Give your wounds time and enough rest to heal. God help me relax enough to stop, calm down, and heal.
