Seven of Stones - Healing
After battling some physical or emotional 'injury', a time of inner rest and rejuvenation is required. Patient and peaceful healing comes from a spiritual source, and wholeness and recovery will follow a series physical or emotional wounding.
The deepest stages of healing and recovery after any emotional trauma or physical injury is forgiveness - the most difficult being forgiveness of oneself.
If the healing is relationship related, many often hold on to the pain, mistakenly believing that it keeps us close to the source of the pain. At times we hang onto a sense of loss, loneliness, and betrayal associated with the failure of the relationship. Regret can also be associated with these feelings as one questions one's own motives and actions. Yet, if you have acted with integrity and sincerity, there is no need for regret; it is a waste of energy and healing focus. If regret is present, more work may be requited to understand its underlying causes.
One of the elements inherent in bringing healing and closure to any situation is acceptance along with self-forgiveness. Neither of us are perfect creatures, we make mistakes. Only by accepting the simple truths, can we bring healing to the suffering soul.
