Holistic Healing for a Troubled World

5/30/2021

​Awareness about the need for a more holistic approach to our troubled world first surfaced about 60 years ago. In hindsight, that small group of voices has now been magnified. More people than ever are carrying that awareness than ever before in our collective past.

In my  experience, we’re each and all unique expressions of humanity. I look at the world now through many lenses: personal, as a registered nurse, and in my spiritual work. The collective experiences of the past are now being expressed differently in our culture. 

As we collectively heal the wounds of our past - whatever they may be - tending our mental health has become part of the dialogue. Certainly, my own mental health experiences are among the milestones of my life journey. Even though I was a Southern Methodist Minister’s daughter, or perhaps because of it, I was taught that each of us is equal even if we’re not the same. In those days, I didn’t understand hatred or violence except through television. I’ve come to understand that we’re each deeply influenced by what we’ve been taught in our formative years.

Still, there is one healing factor for a more holistic world. Each of our tribes, whether personal or cultural, all identify uniquely as humans. And it is our humanity that holds the key to healing the world.

Here are some of the ways we can choose to respond from our humanity.

1. Exercise choice, not judgment. 
Every time we look at a situation, we make a judgment. Judgment can be harsh. It sets up a negative power dynamic in any social exchange. Instead, I believe we each much tend to our own inner selves, and respond from a place of choice. 

This sounds deceptively simple, but the decision to choose instead of judge removes the potential for blaming and pointing fingers. It places the power of choice where it belongs, within ourselves.

2. Believe we are in a healing place.
When we believe we are in a healing place, we are able to move forward, in choice, despite chaos, war, or other types of systemic disruption or collapse. Accept that it all has to unravel, and that the unravelling is cathartic, part of the healing process. Once we have broken down and broken through in any healing process, it becomes possible to bring back a state of healthiness again.

3. Support the electrical system of the body.
Now is the time to work with your body’s innate electrical, or vibrational, system for healing.  Since 1990, I have worked with flower essences to directly provide this support. In my experience, they absolutely work! Today, flower essences remain in my toolbox when I work with private clients, especially if they’re working to enhance their practice or life, or improve their personal vibration and mindset.  In a time in which many of us feel harmed or distrustful of western allopathic medicine, a more holistic approach to healing, like that offered by flower essences, may offer more benefit to us during these troubled times. 

As we receive the new understandings that a more holistic view of healing on Earth brings, let us also accept responsibility for our own creation abilities. May each of us do our part to bring forth the healing visions, insights and actions needed for the good of all beings.

What’s being awakened for you right now?

For some people, the energies of the present time include a lot of fear and despair. Some days, it’s really hard to navigate the choppy waters of our emotions. But right now, it’s also possible to see a larger perspective and tap into the discomfort that often comes with new awakenings. 

Here are some examples of new awakenings in our world.

Astrology
Right now, interest in astrology is blooming. It doesn’t matter what’s going on in the world, planets are planets. How those planets present themselves at this time are open to different interpretations, many of which are grounded in the notion of “free will.” The predictions of a higher octave and an Aquarian age are upon us, along with the chaos.

The Masculine/Feminine Dance
Patriarchal ideals of the masculine are being shed like an old skin. The masculine and feminine are engaged in the divine dance of connection, with the affect of owning our gifts in a different way.

Herbology 
The back to the earth movement of the 1960s and 1970s is gaining new ground, from kitchen gardens to deep discussions about cannabis as a healing plant and spirituality. Herbs - both culinary and medicinal - correspond to the planets, making this ancient study in the present a new incarnation of the Hermetic mysteries of “as above, so below; as within, so without.”

The Wheel of the Year
The Aries warrior fire energy may be thought to cause more fear and despair to surface, due to a unique positioning that only happens once in thousands of years. But, rather than fulfill greed, conquering, or destroying, we can focus on how the re-sowing of new “seeds” helps us to provide for the collective. In each ending is a new beginning. 

Beltane and Litha
As we leave behind Beltane (May 1) and approach Litha (June 21), we may consider that which we’ve laid waste as fertilizer for the land. Now, we might see how it has been returned to us in a new form. In the same way, the joy of personal sexuality has always affirmed the life force energy of an awakening Earth/Gaia/Nature. No matter our age, this time of awakening, no matter how difficult, is also one of great fertility for anything we wish to create, to bring into form, for the future. 

The promise of the light is upon us. Collectively, we are dying to the old to make room for the new. The waning is only one part of the process that occurs when more people are coming awake and turning toward the light.

What are you noticing about this time of awakening?
