You are your own best healer (and the answers are within you)

In many of the cultures we live in, we’ve been conditioned to give our power away and to believe that “the answers” reside somewhere outside of us.

For example, most of us grew up believing that doctors (in the conventional medical system) are supposed to be all-knowing, all-powerful, trustworthy authority figures who can make things all better.

For some of us, this kind of thinking may have also extended to other authority figures in our lives – such as community leaders, religious leaders, politicians, teachers, maybe even our own parents.

This sense that “the answers are somewhere out THERE, and I need to find the person or authority who has them” keeps us believing that we can’t fully trust our own inner knowing, that we are incomplete in some way, that others know better than we do.

Part of the awakening process includes waking up from this fantasy that someone out there can save us, fix us, make things ok, or provide all the answers we’ve been searching for.

As we wake up from this illusion, there may be some fear and disappointment. It can be terrifying to face the reality that no one is coming to save us, and that no one has ALL the answers.

BUT…

… this is also a pivotal moment in your awakening, where you recognize that “hmm, maybe the power and answers and truth for me actually reside within myself??”

This is when you begin to turn inward, back into yourself, and the urgent need to find immediate answers or saviors outside of you dissipates.

You begin to reconnect with your instincts and inner knowing… and with the wisdom of your body.

You rebuild a relationship of trust with your own Self.

You do whatever is necessary – the inner & outer work – to create an environment of healing, well-being, safety, and belonging within yourself.

You realize that YOU are your own best healer… because no one out there can know your inner experience, where you are, what you’ve been through, and what you need now better than you!

(Of course, it can be healthy, responsible, and transformative to seek out and work with doctors – or healers, holistic practitioners, therapists, etc – to help us create this inner healing environment within ourselves and to continue expanding. But it’s so important to make this decision from a place of self-trust, empowerment, and clarity – not from a place of urgency or giving our power away.)
