"The origin of the word 'heal' gives us a key to the golden thread that unites all methods of healing, 'Heal' comes from the same root as whole and holiness. "
Brooke Medicine Eagle, M.A.
("The Circle of Healing," Healers on Healing)
How do we participate in our own healing?
1. By being available to ourselves
2. By listening to ourselves and others
3. Grieving with others, not alone - importance of community
4. Reaching out
5. Share - don't isolate
6. Trust again at the hardest time - when vulnerable
7. Allowing yourself to feel what you feel
8. Give yourself permission to experience your feelings
9. Listen with an open heart and an open mind
10. Coming back to wholeness - in grieving a part of you has been lost.
"The human body has a remarkable built-in healing mechanism; it is constructed and programmed in such a way that it can heal itself."
George Goodheart, "Innate Intelligence Is The Healer," Healers on Healing
