The ‘Concept’ of Healing

Many of us endure events that require physical healing. Whether it’s a broken limb, a bout with the flu or the presence of a serious disease, the body undergoes an event in which it must ‘become strengthened’ so as to return to its original state or better. In these cases, we seek medical attention so that we may become enlightened on what steps to take to facilitate a healing. However, when the heart endures an event that requires emotional healing, i.e., a passing or a heartbreak, we release pain through tears and we seek compassion, sympathy and/or comfort, yet we do not seek to heal from those events. We do not seek to ‘become strengthened’ so as to enable our hearts to return to its original state or better.

Imagine if when you got the flu you just cried. When you received the news that you had breast cancer you just cried. Or when you fell while out on your morning jog and found that your ankle had suffered a serious break, you just sat on the ground and cried. Though tears are the spirit’s way of cleansing itself, there must be something done after the ‘cleansing’ has been done. A wound is cleansed and then cared for so as to properly heal right? Then why shall we not provide the same sort of tender, attentive, complete care to an emotional wound?

We ask the heart to do so much. It deserves just as much attention as any limb or any other part of your body. We ask the heart to love, care, sympathize, empathize, like, show respect, on an on. Yet in all that we ask it to do for us, we do very little for it. Hell even your car gets a tune-up now and then! Perhaps we should take the time to assess the damage done to our hearts so as to discover an appropriate ‘prescription’ to influence its healing. We may find that unresolved grief shall be recognized, addressed and resolved; or that ignored heartbreak must be acknowledged, confronted and mended. You see, you can’t expect to overuse a ‘thing’ and then expect it to work at optimum level every time it’s needed.

Consider offering the gifts of respect, rejuvenation and reparation to your heart. I’m sure if you’d self-analyze, you’d realize that it deserves that and so much more.
