Why Healing Yourself Is The Most Important Journey

My first spiritual Teacher used to tell me that we are only here to save ourselves. This was impossible for me to hear as a people-pleaser and someone who really wanted to help everyone else around me. However, as time has gone on, it's becoming apparent that he was exactly right.

How is this true? What does it even mean? What does it really mean to heal or save ourselves? How does it change the world around us? Why is this such a profound teaching?

Practicing every day connecting with wholeness, grounding within me than connecting with the Dao (God, Source, the Universe). And everyday it is hard to do so. My mind takes me in zillion directions and thoughts and emotions. But slowly, with patience, with practice, through my daily meditation practice, I manage to get there. Oneness, the number one. I stay there, heal and then return to me, the beautiful “perfect”, “enough” human being, social being, with love (experienced between every breath I take) as my weapon, ready to meet the struggles that always come my way. Care over control. Healing is not something I need to get an A+ at. 😂 Thank you as always Katrina for sharing your wisdom with us.

Wonderful talk. Very enjoyable to listen to and thought provoking

Deeply deeply moving. I loved the analogy of the Mt. Everest. Moved me to tears. You such a precious gift in my life! Thank you very much.
