Healing Spaces

Living in our hectic world 
we need a healing space in which to grow. 
Many times we don’t heal because our space 
does not protect us from negativity and fear. 
As long as we live in an environment 
that is hostile to our healing, 
we stay stuck.

Workspaces, relationship spaces, spiritual spaces, 
and home spaces 
are all an important part of our journey here on this earth.
 We have a lot of power in choosing 
and shaping our spaces, 
but we often times pretend that we don’t. 
When we deny that we have chosen 
and created our spaces, 
we give our power away.

Do you live in a healing space? 
If you don’t, you will sense it on some level. 
You will have a great yearning for something 
that maybe you can’t put your finger on. 
You might spend a lot of time convincing yourself 
that you love your space. 
If you don’t have a good workspace 
or relationship space 
or spiritual space 
you may be afraid to do anything about it. 
Maybe your religious beliefs have convinced you 
that you can’t change your space.

One of the fundamental spiritual principles in God’s universe
 is free choice. 
When we find that something is not working for us,
 we have the freedom to move on to a different choice.
 There are always consequences for our choices,
 but we are always free 
to make changes.

This is the key, the secret, 
to moving forward on the spiritual path and to healing.
 We have to be willing to change 
what is not working for us. 
We have to listen to the still, 
small voice of Spirit 
and be willing to act on her promptings. 
Our happiness and wholeness are indicators 
of the quality of our environment. 
We must learn to listen carefully 
and follow the joyful path of Wisdom’s voice.
