“Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God.” Ram Dass

We all want healing at one time or another. We want healing in a relationship, healing in our bodies, healing in a situation, healing in our emotions. But we are often disappointed if we think healing means going back to the way things were. As a great thinker from antiquity once said, “You can’t step into the same river twice.” Healing isn’t going back; it’s moving forward. Healing means releasing the past to the past, embracing the possibilities that exist in the present, and moving boldly into the unknown future. We will all want, need, and even deserve healing in our lives; let’s not miss out on our healing miracle by misunderstanding what healing is. Healing is moving forward, and as we allow ourselves to embrace newness, healing is the result.
