The Resilient Heart

I have always thought that the heart was so powerful and resilient. It has the power to heal hurt after hurt, loss after loss and so much pain in this world but it records everything. In every cell holds the sum total of not only our pain but our joy as well. It has been said that time heals all and I do believe that’s partly true but it is so difficult when one thing after another happens. I believe it is like scar tissue that is there to remind us of the original wounds and as more and more happens, the scar tissue gets thicker but it’s still there. The scar tissue protects the original wound and can keep us from healing and feeling. It can separate us from our bodies as well. We often go through the motions of living our life but the pain has its own vibration that can keep attracting in the same situations until it is truly healed.


I came in with abandonment issues when my twin brother died in utero. Then it was reinforced when my father died when I was eight. Things seemed to repeat itself over and over again in my life. When I was in my 30’s I had a big loss. A man I was engaged to died suddenly from a cerebral hemorrhage. Just like that he was gone. I was devastated and felt lost. I used to listen repeatedly to this song called the flame and to this day if I hear it every cell in my body reacts. It’s been many years but I still feel the pain and loss of him. When this happens I allow myself to feel it, as I believe you need to do that as well with your pain. This is how the heart allows itself to heal little by little.


In looking back on my life and all of the trauma I have gone  through I have learned first hand how strong the heart is. Don’t get me wrong the brain is pretty cool as well but it is the heart that has to feel again in order to heal. That’s where people fall short sometimes. They want to go numb and ignore it because it hurts. Let’s face it, being on earth hurts. We are here to experience the many flavor s of being human. Spirit tells me when we are on the other side we long for all the sensory again. Hard to believe. I guess we have a real short memory.


Healing the heart doesn’t have to be a full time job. We can choose to do the work a little at a time. As we do this it gets easier. There will always be those big heart issues that will take longer to heal and that’s ok. As long as you are working  on moving in the right direction you will eventually get there. Guaranteed!
