Dear Cat:

The yelling and the insults are engrained in my  memory as well. That’s what our brain does, it records and remembers. Healing happens in nature, it  happens  to trees that get injured. Automatically, without the trees intending to heal or directing the process  of healing. That same process is available for us humans as well. Problem is we often stand in its way, chasing short cuts, reading  this and that and trying what doesn’t work. Then starting what does  work but giving up when distressed.

Healing for me has been getting out of my way best I can, availing myself to nature healing me (a relief as I don’t have to… invent healing, it is there already, a greater force than what I am capable to bring about). It takes a long time, lots of persistence, a whole  lots of patience through distress. It is about learning, adding new things for the brain to record, and slowly quiet down the yelling, replace the insults with truth.
