‹› the healing place ‹›

she was exhausted. her sense of self and well~being was being dissipated after such a long turn, 'but there are so many more who need my help,' she kept thinking to herself. 'i can go on a bit longer....'

just then, as if to prove her point, she heard a voice like the wind blowing across the grasses saying "please come. there is someone here who needs your help. come, please." she felt as if she was hypnotized and being drawn by an elemental magnet pulling her out and toward the voice. the earth guided her feet along a path she had never seen; the wind pushed her gently from behind to keep her moving; the Sun threw light on the darkest part of the path with a fiery glow... then, in a near trance, she heard the song of water falling and was drawn directly to it. she woke a bit as she stood by the falling waters and said aloud,

"i have come to help. someone here needs me."

"yes dear Lady" sang the falling water. "lie down here by my side, for it is you who needs your help." "me?" she asked, unsure she had heard correctly. 

"yes child, you" answered the fluid voice of singing water. "rest for a moment, please, and listen to the sounds of respite. it is true that you have been given a wonderful gift of healing others. sometimes in your hands, at times in your voice, or in your very presence, people find the help they need. you are honored and cherished by the Creative Song for your deeds, which you perform with no regard for return. even those who do not sing your praise, admire your selfless ways. but there comes a time, and now it is, that you must look to yourself and cure your own ills. breathe deeply now of the cleansing air of re~vitalization and allow your care for others to drift unto yourself with every breath. feel the warmth of the Sun melt you into the earth, the root of your strength, and let the song of my water vibrate a healing symphony in your ears. as you feel the elements caress you remember this ~ it is you who needs you now. take this time to refresh, renew, replenish you. for should you falter in your own well being, what would those who need you do? you can not heal if you are not healed. you can not breathe for others if you have not breath for yourself. breathe in for yourself, breathe out for others, and let the healing place live within you, and for you. then truly, your hands, your voice, your very presence can be there to help, and you can fully share the gifts of the Creative Song...."

lulled by the concerto of the air the water the earth and the sun, she then fell into a deep and restful sleep and found the truth of the Healing Place.

many blessings
