Tuesday Thought: Our Wounded Sides

Everyone has one. The issue is whether we are aware of it, and then can heal it properly. Many of the emotional and spiritual wounds that cause us to suffer in life are inflicted early in life. Some come much later.

If we don't detect our wounded side early, it grows larger and makes us vulnerable throughout of lives. Rather than embracing life in a trusting and engaging way, we learn to fear the world and our first instinct is to protect what hurts deeply inside us.

Know that you are not alone in your suffering. Know also that through insight and good soul work, you can heal the source of your suffering.

Meditation can help produce the environment for proper healing. As noted psychic Edgar Cayce once said about meditation: "It is not musing, not daydreaming; but as ye find your bodies made up of the physical, mental and spiritual, it is the attuning of the mental body and the physical body to its spiritual source." In this attunement, real healing occurs.
