Healing Happens

I saw this sign earlier this evening and I thought "Yeah, it does".  Sometimes, in fact usually it happens slowly and when you are not looking; sometimes when you stop looking for it and working so hard on it.  Think of  a time when you were ill or in a lot of pain.  You probably thought the pain would never stop, I know that is how I felt; I felt that physically and emotionally.  It was when I finally stopped fighting and cursing the pain that it began to heal.  I have learned that for me personally if I can finally embrace the pain and allow myself to feel it completely it will heal faster.  In one of my four childbirth experiences I had a difficult labour, a nurse, a woman who was much older than I was at the time told me "to go with the pain, work with it", when I was finally able to do that things moved much more rapidly and my baby arrived about 15 minutes later.  That was a lesson that I try to remember.  If  I try to deny or fight the pain I won't heal.  Most healing takes place in the mind (Harold told me that and he is right).  I am still healing, I am becoming well.  I want to make that one of affirmations.  I have a few affirmations that I use daily, here are a couple.  I enjoy wonderful, glowing health, this too is passing, all is well.  There are more, but these are a few.  My daughter gave me my mantra and I use it often, I hear her voice when I use it, it goes like this: "It's All Good Mom, It's All Good".  Thank you Tami, it is all good.
