You have immense power
By Lee Ann | September 22, 2008
Consider this thought for the day. If you cut yourself shaving you don’t use your conscious mind to heal that wound, do you? You can’t tell your blood to clot, your cells to form a scab, new cells to generate to create new skin – you don’t consciously do any of that – it just happens with perfect precision.
If you have an emotional wound – then why would you try to use the same mind that can’t heal a cut to heal your emotional wound? You can’t and never will be able to. Instead you have to just let your subconscious mind do what it’s meant to do. Your part in the process? To neutralize any opinion of the wound. In other words don’t qualify it as having any size or that it is good or bad. Instead, think of the wound as just being or think of the event that caused the wound as just neutral. The event was neither good nor bad – it just was. It is your build up of that event that gives it energy. You can neutralize that negative energy by just saying to your Self that it was merely an event. The only power or energy it has to harm you is what you give it. So, choose to give it none.
This is not to say that an event like segregation or slavery isn’t “bad”. However, consider the woman who is segregated and then grows tired of being looked down on and acts accordingly. Let’s give that woman a name – Rosa Parks. Rosa was not the only woman of color to be segregated – they all were. However, Rosa through her action, united a world that put the wheels in motion so that segregation as she knew it would cease to exist. Therefore for Rosa – that act of segregation was good, not just for her, but for all her brothers and sisters of color.
This is proof that it is never the event that is “good” or “bad”, but our reaction to it instead.
It’s something to think about…

I absolutely adore the idea of your body healing an emotional wound no different than a cut from shaving. That one will stay with me. Thank you.

Writer Dad,
Thank you for your comment. It was my pleasure to share that with you. I’ll be sharing more of how you can heal an emotional wound – it is possible, just not from your conditioned mind.
