The wound is intricately woven in the tapestry of life. It is there at birth. It is there in childhood and puberty. It is there in adulthood and old age. The question is not “Are we wounded?” but “What will we do with the wound? Will we heal it or will we pass it on?” The choice to feel our pain and heal our wounds is a choice each one of us will make or refuse to make. If we choose to make it, the candle of hope will be lit for countless others. If we choose not to make it, the world becomes a little darker and more dreary. Three years ago, I was guided to create a transformation process designed to help people heal at depth, discover their gifts and learn to facilitate healing for others. Since then, many people have come, healed their wounds and stepped into their life purpose. One of the participants, Bernie, put it this way: Today my life is not the same as it was when I entered this community. I have healed my core wound. I no longer feel betrayed or abandoned, because I have learned to show up for myself and the people I care about. I don’t have to run away from love any more. I don’t have to be unfaithful to others, or to myself. My reactive behavior patterns no longer run my life.
