When you feel torn up from the most difficult circumstances in your life, your emotions can become very raw. The blessing in that, is that the tiniest act of love or kindness from another is able to reach through the openness that hurt's vulnerability creates, directly to a place in your heart that is often otherwise protected and hidden away. It is like an area in the body that rarely receives live-giving, oxygenated blood, and suddenly it is surrounded with it. What an effective salve this is for an emotional wound.

There is no end to the gifts that love offers ~ how fortunate that we are all made of it. All we need to do is maintain this awareness as we gently touch the hearts and lives of others. We are all born with the ability to heal, as it is the energy and vibration of Love that does the healing, regardless of the channel. If we are able to live and take action from the sacred place in our higher hearts, we can bring healing to ourselves as well as to others, which will lift us all up in the process.

From this place, we can grow, transmute and ascend, simply with the nourishment from that which we are made - Love. It is a little like what happens in Spring. We may feel pounded and crushed into the ground by the harshness of Winter, but the warmth of the new season's sunshine and its gentle rain pull us up, enabling the healing that allows us to grow back into the fullness of the blossoms of Love that we truly are.
