Healing Places

S/he who doesn't carry Heaven within
will search for it in vain
all over the universe

Our inner healing place

• The most important of all healing places is the one within me.
• I can only experience this place if I live entirely for the moment, completely in the Here and Now, and if I take time for silence and listening.
• My body is a vessel for my soul; it lovingly embraced it when I came into this world. It will be my home for as long as I live.
• Only if I take care of my own inner place, can I also tend other places like apartments, houses, gardens etc.
• We are only caretakers here on earth because we cannot truly own the places we live in.
• Therefore leave each place the way you found it, or even better than you found it!
• A healing place is whatever place I find myself in. Places draw me to them, just like I draw them to me. Each place has something to teach us, and helps us integrate parts of us that we may not already know.
• Each place, especially the healing place within myself, needs time, attention, love, care, cleansing, and rituals – this is where we can express our creativity every moment of our lives!

Special Places

• The earth is a living organism which tries to be a healing place for us, but humankind has been interfering with this organism to an extent that makes it increasingly difficult for our planet to support us.
• The earth has many power centers where energy levels are high, and sometimes we are fortunate enough to go there.
• We are responsible for the earth, because we have been put here as its caretakers. This duty of care starts with looking after ourselves.

The Healing Place of Others

• We all have our own inner and outer healing places. These places are holy, because they help us become whole – we are strongly connected to them, and they are strongly connected to us.
• It is important that we leave the healing places of others unchanged, because we all have our own way of healing ourselves and being healed. Why should a beggar's place at the roadside be less important for his healing process than a church or a mountain top might be for someone else?
• If we look at other people's healing places, we can see HOW they heal themselves. This is not just about watching, it is about learning to respect what others do - we can learn a lot from plants and animals, too.
• It is time for us to learn to share with others what we have and what we do. We need to share our vision, our dream of life on this planet. This way we can help each other, because we can see that we are not walking alone (read more about this in Book 3 of my trilogy).
• This is a place for communication, exchange, and sharing – may we enter it with respect and dignity!
