SUMMARY:How We Healed / How We Heal
DESCRIPTION:How We Healed / How We Heal\, A Gathering Facilitated by Paul W. Gerzon \nLife can be wonderful. Our human capacity for love\, enjoyment\, and wisdom is endless; and the love a person can feel for other human beings\, for nature\, and for life itself\, is beautiful. Experiencing all this is less likely to happen\, however\, if we have not healed emotional wounds; if we have not learned that “the mind is a great servant but a terrible master”; and if we don’t know how to love ourselves\, including our bodies. \nToday’s gathering is about being more whole. \nIn part one\, we will talk about what healing is: what do we mean by that word? Then those who are moved to will have the time and space to share about what healing they have experienced\, and by what methods\, circumstances\, and / or experiences. \nIn part two\, we will generate a list of what seems to be necessary for healing. We will do that as a collective mind by noticing our own experiences\, from our in-the-moment thinking\, and from what we’ve learned from videos\, from books\, from peers\, and / or from professionals who have been helpful. \nPlease come if you wish to explore this subject! \nSuch gatherings can accelerate our individual learning and growing\, as well as provide “people medicine” for everyone present. \n  \nPersonal note: \nI am grateful for the healing I have experienced. In my case\, growing up\, my head energy was loved and supported. My thoughts were welcome. In contrast\, my heart energy was not supported\, and emotions of any were not welcomed and certainly were not mirrored. No one in my family or at school taught me any emotional awareness. \nMy life is enormously different now that much childhood wounding is healed. An important shift for me was when I could see my parents as glasses half full\, instead of half empty. Through certain healing contexts and experiences\, I came to see them as being perfect (if you’ll excuse that overworked word) exactly as they were! \nI stopped judging them. That led to stopping judging myself\, and that led to not judging anybody. I live a lighter and happier life now. \n(By the way\, not judging anybody does not mean “making no distinctions” or “not seeing differences”!) \n
