The Journey to Becoming a Healer – by Sheryl Karas
My first thought was “so what?” and I said so and he just leaned in even closer with more intent and said it again: “ANYONE who had been through what you’ve been through would respond the same way.” He wanted me to get the message, to let it in, to know without a doubt that I was not to blame, to forgive myself for having this pain. He told me to go home and imagine myself as a very young child who needed to hear these words and to say them to myself whenever I felt sick. I did — I had to do it twice — but after I did the illness left never to return. If I get even a warning that it’s about to manifest again I do this exercise and the symptoms back away.
This is an excerpt from a post by Sheryl Karas on her spiritual counseling and healing blog. The full story is a vivid illustration of the power of self forgiveness, and the site is a terrific resource. Well worth checking out.
