It’s always so encouraging to hear from others who understand the need for us to truly feel and heal our feelings, rather than trying to get around them, over them, past them… There is much fear, yes…but the fear is also most often enmeshed in our past wounding, and can (and must) be healed, so we can face the unknown in ourselves. And healing doesn’t come easy…but it is so important for ourselves, those around us, and our world.

This is a teriffic reminder of the things that we not only need to do on a personal level but as a global community to get ourselves and the world back on track.

Many times we scratch the wound and it festers again. This would be quite a difficult exercise for Americans. A lot of fear of the unknown exists. This fear complicates the healing process. healing doesnt come easily. Many times we scratch the wound and it festers again. This would be quite a difficult exercise for Americans.

We have a lot of healing to do as Americans and as a global society. We really do seem to suppress and push away our pain when we really should come to terms with our pain. It may be the only way to fully heal. This is a nice article, well put. We have a lot of healing to do as Americans and as a global society.
