Dear Friends,
I like to be vulnerable here. I like to show up raw and real. I don’t want to put on that mask of having it all figured out, all put together… just because I’m a healer.
Healers don’t have to be fully healed before they can move amazing healing into the lives of others. There is no “fully healed” anyway.
The Depression and Despair that I lived with for 30 years before finding my Shamanic Path to healing in 2016, that went away so quickly once I was fully committed to this path, has resurfaced for me in recent months.
To be fair, it’s really hard not to be depressed and despairing right now, given all the awful things happening in the world…
This week I sat with a Sacred Fire in the Medicine Wheel at Braided Root Waters Healing Sanctuary and asked for a healing or a message. And Father Sky said to me, “You need to make Love to your own mind.”
He meant that I need to surround my mind with Love and accept all of her parts and patterns- especially the hard and uncomfortable ones. This isn’t exactly a new lesson, but I seem to so easily forget to surround my mental patterns with Love instead of trying to get rid of them.
For me, “making love to my own mind” can look like having a “Raging Betti Session” when I feel all the hard and heavy feelings.
Or like lighting a candle, rubbing a drop of rose oil into my palms, breathing in the scent, then holding a special stone while calling in Love energy.
Is there any part of you that you continuously try to get rid of? What would happen if you surrounded that part of yourself with Love instead? And what would surrounding yourself with Love look like for you?
It would mean so much to me if you would send me a quick note to let me know if my words have touched something within you…
Blessings and Courage,
Betti
