Heal Yourself

With permission, I share this posting from a treasured mentor:

"My thoughts on the tragedy in Newtown:

My heart hurts for the parents who have lost their children. Sunday night, Obama shared my favorite quote about parenting: 'when you decide to have a child, you make the decision to have your heart forever walk around outside your body.' Their loss is more profound than we will ever know. I pray for their courage.

This is a clarion call to all of us.

We are impacting our children, every last one of us and it's time we woke up to the epidemic that is sweeping our nation. Too many parents are distracted, too many single moms and dads don't have the support they need, too many adults have not healed their own wounds and so they pass their damage on to their children like karmic sludge. We subject our children to a culture dominated by fear (news, video games, movies) and then wonder what the dang problem is. The problem is not "out there", it's "in here".

          Here’s my wish for us all, that we:

Wake up, out of our comfortably numb state, and start to really get the horrifying legacy we are leaving with our children and on this planet.

Feel the pain we’ve been avoiding, the pain of our inner child that didn’t get what he or she needed and love that part with powerful conviction, with the ferocity of a mama or papa bear. Let go of any desire to be driven to the next distraction, drama or adrenaline rush and just be with yourself.

Take fierce, bold action, from a place of wholeness.

If you want to make an impact and not have these children (and their protectors) die in vain, then commit to healing you, to healing your own inner child. From there, you will know the exact perfect action to take. Anything before that will be saving and saving never works. It’s rooted in imbalance.

I pray you will let this tragedy be the wake up call you needed to make the difference you came here to make with your life.

Share with me your thoughts, feelings and ideas about this tragedy, the state of our disconnectedness in our country and anything else you feel you want to share….even if it’s simply an “amen sister”.

So much love,

Kristin Sweeting Morelli"
