Every once in a while, we are given a gift. It is the gift of truth, and if we are lucky enough, we are able to recognize it. This happened to me this past week. I was in a conversation and the topic of my coaching practice came up and I was mentioning how I haven’t been able to give that as much attention as I would like recently as my “day job” has become more demanding. We talked a lot, but there was a point in the conversation where the other person said,
“You are a healer…”
The world stopped turning momentarily. Those words triggered a clarion call inside me, a massive wave of energy and emotion rolling through my entire body. Like a loud truth bell being whacked so hard, ringing so loudly from the bell tower of my heart, with so much volume and force that everything else faded away and the air was sucked from my lungs. I was literally overcome with emotion and a little confused. But it wasn’t just one time that happened, as the conversation continued, I heard these words again,
“You are a healer…”.
BOOM, the same recognition of truth racked my body, but not just my body, waves of knowing rolling through me and reverberated down to my soul. It was an acknowledgement of truth from my very being, from the very essence of me. And our conversation continued, and then, as surprising as it was the first time, like someone had pushed that same button inside me,
“You are a healer…”
A tuning fork was struck, and all the glass walls confining me to my JOB, to the life I felt I had to lead, started to crack and crumble to the ground. Great shards of fear falling to the ground as the walls of my imprisonment became visible and fell away, allowing me a freedom, an opportunity to expand and grow. The jailer is me, and I’m holding the keys to my freedom in my hand. It was a clear, resounding note, coursing through me as I began to awake from my slumber, clearing the misty fog I have wrapped myself in as my eyes open to a new clarity.
“You are a healer…”
Even in this moment as I repeat those words to myself, an awakening happens in my heart. It starts as a slow rolling of energy and then expands outward as the joyful feeling builds and sweeps through me. Like the rolling rumble of thunder in the distance, it is a recognition that is the lightening strike to my heart, and the impact rolls outward as I expand with the thunderous volume of truth. It is the feeling of coming home to myself.
I am humbled and filled with gratitude.
When your heart speaks to you, please listen.
