Query

Healing the Past.  Is that something we can do?  Maybe come to terms and degrees of acceptance.  The Past is part and parcel of who I/we are.  If we completely "heal" how much different would we be in the here and now?  I spent a few meditation sessions and took myself back to an event that injured me and worked on acceptance, but that or those injuries have shaped me along the way.

    You are quite right. I wouldn't want to trade anything which has resulted in who I am today because although I still have a lot of flaws I rather like myself lately :)
    But I do think healing the past helps us to enjoy the present day more

      Some days I think I would like to trade out some of my history, but then what replaces it could be even worse. I have accepted pretty much all of it and know I still have work to do.

    when contact lenses came on the market I paid for a pair. My eye doctor said 'anyone can wear contacts..if they really want to". I spent three weeks with eyes crying all day long. I finally pulled the plug but I was embarrassed to admit it. Because the 'if you really want too" tolled in my head.

    I've used that bad advice to win or lose at everything I've done or fought...and it is a painful row to hoe. I just wish us all peace, however we get there.

      Not to get in the really personal stuff- when I was in 1st grade one of the nuns whacked my hand on several occurrences because I was not holding my pencil correctly and my penmanship was not good. That set me up for not questioning teachers and methodologies until High School when I had enough of them being always right. Course I was a honor student cause I followed the rules for most to those years.

    Your post reminds me of my favorite definition of forgiveness:
    To be forgiving is to accept the reality of what has happened and find a way to live peacefully with it.

      And most I have. I wonder about all those - not so well wishes I heaped on others for their transgressions. Guess those will or have come home to roost.

    on top of the 'encouragement' to heal this lifetime's past there's past life healing too. I read today I show symptoms of taking a vow of obedience in a past life. Still it's kept me employed and out of jail...

      I have at least two past life's that I took vows, and maybe a third.
