It's a scenario that's played over and over in my personal life. I know what needs to be done in a difficult situation that requires healing, yet those who require it, don't listen to my guidance nor do they want to change. I know I'm not alone in this, there have been so many other healers who have been faced with the same challenges, and time and time again they end up feeling defeated because their healing was rejected.
My personal experiences began very young, but the ones that taught me the most were the ones I loved and had a deeper involvement with. I would do everything I could to release them from their pain. My healing was always met with a brick wall, which showed me that they liked where they were - there was drama, fear, control, anger, and they found power in all of it. They even derived some excitement from their situations. This brick wall also showed me what I was doing and why I was doing it, and so began the journey to my own healing.
I discovered I had my own bonds to release, ones that I had created over and over again in other lifetimes. The bonds and lessons I learned were that my fulfillment, joy, peace, and love did not depend upon the "successful" healing of those I loved. I had a deep seated belief that they must experience healing as I saw fit, otherwise I could not experience what I desired unless they were healed first. I was giving away my power.
I freed myself from bonds of healing those I loved by clearing all attachments to healing them and to the dependency of my fulfillment on their healing. I had a clear vision of a crossroad - and chose to walk the path of independent fulfillment, joy, peace, and love. Those I love who are attached to their drama and suffering still pop up in my life, but I no longer feel the need or desire to heal them. They inevitably ask for my help, but my guidance is brief as I consciously choose to not give away my energy, time, and of course, power.
Free yourself from these old bonds that restrict you. You can change any bonds and beliefs as you have created them. Your heart's desire is not dependent on anyone else, so choose to be free!
