Never Not Healing
"Never Not Healing" - the post that never was and always will be :)
Some years ago this beautiful tree outside my window was brutally felled almost down to its trunk, breaking my heart. But it started to heal even as it was devastated. Here it is now with the setting sun reflected behind it, with the promise that it will rise again as night fades.
#nevernothealing
I am smiling at the thought that I never got down to making the post but the words themselves tell you that this message is confined neither in time nor space.
Here is the promised prequel to the post The Mother And Daughter Of All Arts -yes we writers often imagine something to be already written before we pen it down Available for you to actually read. This fulfills a promise I made to myself over a year ago. I mentioned this yet-to-be-written post in the initial document I released, announcing the vision and diverse offerings from SSH. A version of this document still floats around. In it I referred to this post lovingly like it had already been read by many. No doubt so many of you whom I’d brainstormed ideas with had already read it in my outpourings.
Perhaps this is how we create the future. We think of it as having happened.
All I do here is present a consolidated piece of writing with the essence of
themes I’ve already used as threads in weaving connections with people around
me in the cyber-verse as well as in person.
Quoting from the post The Mother And Daughter Of All Arts , started in 2021 and left in suspended animation through all my adventures in my personal healing space :
"You already familiar with the post "Never Not Healing" shared by me on the blog and the healing paradigms referred to. Healing is a continuum and a natural state in all beings as part of a universal rhythm. Sustaining this by tapping into and channeling the creative processes within us, that mirror the ones in the universe, is at the heart and soul of every offering here."
Do we even need this post, I ask myself, late as I have been in formally presenting the ideas to you? All we need is to awaken the awareness of what is already within us - you, and me in tandem with you, for every moment is a rebirth and a re-awakening for me as well.
Awaken!
Snapping those eyelids open in a semi-shock - or gently coaxing them open to permit the clear light of day to find its way in. Lying still as a sunbeam caresses you gently making you want to give in to its embrace. Whichever way, awaken we must after slumber. Awakening awareness within us is similar to our own waking up from slumber, and there are journeys that lead to it.
Two terms you will likely come across a great deal on writings from SpiritSpiral Healing and in the course of sessions/workshops I offer, are "freewheeling" and "creative destruction". The latter happens in our individual "ecosystem" of body-mind-spirit without a pause as long as we are alive. I like to think parts of it continue to thrive and evolve or alter and decay over time even after we “shuffle
off this mortal coil”.
Freewheeling
is a word that came to me out of the blue when I encountered people showing
defensive reactions to any new or deviant idea that was expressed, especially at a time when we needed fresh and radical ideas, even really simple ones to end the morbid stagnation the world found itself in. The sort of self destruction that was the opposite of creative.
While lying around
daydreaming, the word "freewheeling" started playing in my mind. I
decided to delve a little and while I discovered so many definitions that were
about being irresponsible, I finally found what must have sent the word gently
spiraling through my mind's freeway in the first place.
Read this:
"Willing to experiment and
take risks by going beyond the usual rules or accepted ways of doing things" - I definitely tend to have that spirit myself. Ironically that’s the spirit that the ambience of the times has tried hard to
suppress, leading to numerous mental health troubles.
Best of all are these words:
"Freewheeling means the wilder the idea, the better. It is always easier
to tame an idea than to make one more exciting"
As for “Creative destruction” – I will hand the floor to you and would love to have your thoughts in
comments.
... to be contd ...
And I leave you with buds on the tree at dawn while Venus rises
The Mother And The Daughter Of All Arts
'One art form fuels and inspires another, throws light on and gives more value to it. For me they all point to the art I am most taken up with right now - the art of healing which seems to me like both the mother and the daughter of all arts.'
This photo is of me and taken by me. DO NOT post it anywhere. It is personal and the logo of this venture
These are the opening words on my Facebook Page as I introduce a venture that formally launched on 17th March 2021 and went on hiatus soon thereafter, thanks to an exacerbation of the macabre worldwide situation we were all thrown unceremoniously into in March 2020. The post Doubting Diva Turns First Foot Turns Gentle Guide and Hand-Holder will tell you what happened in some of the months that followed March '20. And more of what happened in those intervening months post March '21 and how it has all served to turn this into a far more meaningful venture than I had ever envisaged, will reveal itself in the coming posts. The next few posts on Unwritten will be devoted to sharing my thoughts about this solo creative offering and its continuing evolution.
Hello from SpiritSpiral Healing
and
Welcome to The
Energy Exchange!
You
are already familiar with the article “Never Not Healing” shared by me on my
blog so you are familiar with the concepts of healing and the healing paradigms
referred to*. To quote from the article, healing is a continuum and a natural
state in all beings as part of a universal rhythm. Sustaining this by tapping
into and channeling the creative processes within, that mirror the ones in the
universe are the heart and soul of every offering here.
The
online workshops and interactive sessions commencing very shortly have chosen
for themselves the name Energy Exchange. Read on and you will see how this
takes place.
What you can look forward to:
· gentle
shifting of thinking blocks
· subtle changes
in the way energy flows through you
· trails towards
the confidence to embrace your uniqueness and original thinking
· opening of pathways to channel your passion(it
could be anger, rage, intense love, yearning or anything else) into creative activity
· transforming
fear from foe to friend
· keys to accessing a wide and deep pool of energy and·of creative resources.
What I look forward to:
- · your trust in
me
- · your curiosity
- · your desire to
question
- · your patience
- · a desire to sift
- · a yearning to understand
nuance
- · moderate fluency in English ... and
- · money I receive from you with grace, which will transform into provision for my living needs.
What we can together look forward to:
- · the flow that
charges the collective energy pool we all drink from by the sending and
receiving of creative energies
- · more inner
harmony and balance within the individual and the collective
- · the ironing
out of socio-economic inequities one wrinkle at a time - yes the butterfly
effect is real.
A spirit of freewheeling (with gentle steering rather than structure) is the underlying energy that permeates each session. The sessions do follow a pattern with variations. First I have conversation one on one with the persons contacting me, guiding them to the right offering for them - this could involve a set of leading questions I ask them as guideposts. The modules listed below could be blended together for customized one on one sessions.
Sessions can be between 1.5 and 3 hours. Sometime they could be split into parts that can stretch to a different day.
Update: 14th June 2023
The
charges - for recharging my monetary pool - will vary between approximately INR1200 and INR2600 per person per personal themed session/personal freewheeling session/workshop depending on the
content and duration.
For more than one participant there are standard offerings. 3 participants are an ideal number. Rates could be different for specially customized workshops or individual sessions.
WordWise comes for a price of 800INR and makes a great starter or warmup that could lead to discovering what a person needs to focus on next. Yes this is still available.
Courses: Self paced courses covering 5-6 sessions are being announced soon. Stay tuned!!!!
This information is subject to change, considering the very volatile times we live in. Each session is lovingly and mindfully crafted and I share my own personal stories too at times (people will tell you I can tell a good story)
Signups are open – sessions are over Zoom and scheduled at mutual convenience. Email spiritspiralhealing@gmail.com to know
available slots and sign-up process.
Join
in and be a co-creator. All workshops will be online, bridging place/time
realms. No face to face sessions are currently available.
About me: I am not a doctor or a psychologist. Nor do I carry a certification from any board or school of healing. I am a writer and educator. I align more with what some indigenous cultures would think of as a Wise Woman Archetype ... and I do hope I am continually evolving towards more wisdom.
I have learnt in the school of life and carry that experience into these energy exchanges. I do not call myself a healer. I am a facilitator and one who helps light a pathway you create for yourself. I occasionally walk with you and I watch and come in where guidance is needed. I seek to be gentle and patient. The saying “First Do No Harm” is my inspiration, an ideal I cherish. I look forward to your cherishing it too, as you go forth on your journey.
