Have You Truly Healed?

By Charmaine D'Souza

Have you been present to everything you really feel?

Every ounce of emotion,

Every thought you may want to conceal?

Then you can say you have truly healed!

Have you made contact with each and every difficult place?

Every room filled with memories,

Every mind-numblingly scary space?

Then you can say you have truly healed!

Have you come to grips with those tumultuous events in your life?

Every emotional block,

Every action that has brought you strife?

Then you can say you have truly healed!

Have you enabled your parasympathetic nervous system to rest and relax?

Every raw nerve,

Every sinew that has been taut and taxed?

Then you can say you have truly healed!

Have you brightly lit up those areas that were dark and murky?

Every fearful arena,

Every spot filled with pain and insecurity?

Then can you say you have truly healed!

Have you stopped limiting the pain and stifling the emotions?

Every time you've been abused,

Every place you've searched for solutions?

Then you can say you have truly healed!

If you've positively done all this and more,

Soothing one layer deeper each time,

Strongly energizing your very core,

Rejoice! For you have well and truly healed!!!
