The Wounded Healers

“You have to keep breaking your heart, until it opens.” -Rumi

“The people who will know how to survive these coming times of great upheaval will be the wounded healers, the ones who have had their hearts broken over and over again until it has cracked wide open, the ones who have learned from their experiences and now know how to heal themselves.  Because, people who have been broken and know how to put themselves back together again hold the spiritual power of regeneration; they know what it is like to die and to be reborn in a single lifetime. Earth is going through a collective death right now and the people who know how to rebirth themselves will know how to be the midwives for the rebirth of the earth, too.” - Laura Matsue

There is a class of healers amongst us known as the wounded healers. You cannot be born a wounded healer, nor can you be made one. They create themselves through adversity, trial and error, pain and suffering. They conquer fear and find a way to speak their truth, even if they are afraid, because the understand that everything we want in life is on the other side of fear. These healers will bring light to those who are alone and afraid. These healers have found a way out of their darkness, and were able to hardness that wisdom that was gained through their pain and suffering, and were able to use it to help others. These healers are a different kind of warrior and they are the epitome of resilience.

Some say they are not afraid of hell, because they have already lived it. -Chris Yellowbird

I have lost track of how many times I have “died” and yet came back here stronger. But, consequently, I am well prepared for what is next, for humanity. I have never understood this cycle of death and rebirth, until these last 5 years. It is clear to me now, all that I have experienced in my life was training for just this time, as we all head “into the mystic”.

I’ll hear and see you again Dad, soon. Hold the line “out there” in the mystic in the meantime. I’ll find you Pops, like I promised.
