Can you imagine what would happen to the planet if humans were no longer? It wouldn’t take much time for earth to restore itself to a glorious homeostasis. Its verdant abundance would return. The damage of climate change would reverse in no time. There would be healing if humans left the earth. The earth itself is alive. It wants to be healthy, but in order for that to occur, we have to let it be, and stop destroying it and each other.
The key is to let healing be – to allow it in. That’s nature’s default – wholesomeness, oneness, acceptance. A healer clears the way to let healing do its thing. A healer has presence, deeply rooted in stillness. Healing needs space, peacefulness, and a non-interfering attitude. In other words there isn’t much we can “do” to heal. We have to stop, listen, and reflect. We have to stop eating poisonous foods. We have to stop living stressed and burdened lives. We have to stop being sedentary. We have to stop getting in the way of healing. Nature knows what to do. But we’re too busy trying to “fix” it.
Restoration will never come, if we don’t let it in. We cannot continue living stressful lives and expect health and wellness to follow us. We cannot keep eating poorly and expect physical optimization. We cannot keep consuming junk media, bad news, and violence and expect to be wholesome, and happy. We cannot expect healing if we don’t change. The body is adaptive, but only to a certain point. The planet is adaptive, but only to a certain point. It might be time for us to adapt more dramatically, to adopt new behaviors, stop destructive ones, and simply let healing be. Let’s get out of the way so healing can do its thing.
