Five Elements of a Healing Community
Posted On: Monday, July 31, 2017
In today’s hectic and many times very frustrating life experience healing is a requirement for each of us to maintain
our best health and performance. But how do we heal? What does healing encompass?
From a holistic point of view, healing is structured around five basic elements –
- Gratitude and Sharing
- Educational resources (classes, private sessions, reading, journaling to move along the path intellectually, psychologically and spiritually)
- Personal growth (recognizing patterns of behavior and thought that are outmoded and no longer serve)
- Being in community (support)
- Relationship (to a higher power, to self, to family and friends, to the world) and finally, as the intended result.
At Ashland REIKI & Wellness Center we offer, in a variety of ways , each of these five elements. By respecting the individuality of each client, the opportunity to heal in one’s preferred manner as well as on one’s own timetable creates a unique experience for each person. Perhaps the first step is a book, perhaps instead – a candle and a meditation class. The point of entry does not matter. What matters is that there is a beginning point at which the realization occurs that healing is necessary – not of an illness necessarily – but more likely, of a trodden upon spirit or lack of love or happiness. These deficits in the spirit can be healed and life returned to a more fulfilling and joyous experience.
A wonderful place to start your personal healing journey is through the practice of gratitude. This requires no significant time commitment or financial outlay. A gratitude practice can be initiated by simply “seeing” all the good in your life as opposed to focusing on the events or situations that are being interpreted as negative. Taking a few moments each day to be conscious of the positive aspects of your life will, in time, start you on your own self-defined path toward healing.
However you move forward in healing, realize that you are not alone. Seek community for support and inspiration. Ashland REIKI & Wellness Center is only one of many local supportive centers and businesses that will welcome you and assist you in progressing along your path toward creating a life where you can treasure each moment and live with true joy.
