So yesterday I met with one of my younger clients. He is an 8 year old boy. He and his father were walking on their way to drop him off at school. They were in a busy intersection when a car sped through, knocking his father down, breaking his ankle and throwing the sweet young boy flying helplessly into the air. Due to the impact with the car and the ground, he is now between worlds. He is in a coma.
Sometimes as a healer things are more complicated than usual. This is one of those times. Before meeting the young boy, I found myself hopelessly crying. I paced back and forth, feeling as though my heart was breaking. His parents tried for a child for 10 years before she successuly gave birth, to her little son. I realized that as a parent, any happiness you had before a child was born, can quickly and unapologetically disappear in an instant, if your child dies. So after giving gratitude for the insight, I took my toe from the potential pool of despair and dried it off. A very important part in the healing process is non judgement and setting emotion aside. Now it probably sound nds crazy that those are 2 of the most important parts, but they are. As I sat with the young boy and his paernts, the despair was palable. But as a healer, my duty is to set aside intense,distracting emotions and focus. Healing is about channeling and transforming energy. So I sat and did my best. Judgement comes in more than one form. So as a healer it is my duty to see how it is showing itself and focus the energy properly. So as I did my best to keep the thoughts of the parents potentially feeling no happiness in the future at bay, I sat and sent distance and hands on healing. The energy of despair is an interesting and complex one. Despair is like a weight around your neck, a thorn in your side, a rock in your shoe,sand in your eyes;all at once.Yoou can’t shake it. You can only face it and see it for what it is.
Time will only tell what the future holds for the sweet little boy. Time will only what the parents have chosen to do.In the meantime, despair is looming.
Namaste
Be Well
