Sources of healing

I was restless in the night and so I began to pray for each of the members of my family and community that I know is suffering in some way.  As I prayed for each person to heal and find peace, I realized my own sources of healing and peace. As my prayers turned into naming my blessings, I fell into a deep and restful sleep. I awoke this morning to become inspired to write about my own sources of healing so that you too can begin to think and practice your own sources of healing. My prayer life is healing in that it gives me a place to express my worries and intentions. My yoga practice is healing in that it enables me to move, stretch, strengthen, meditate and be with a community of peaceful warriors.  My St Vincent de Paul home visits to the poor allow me to appreciate the goodness and generosity of our parish and the hope it brings to those we serve.  When I participate in mass and sit with faithful followers of Jesus Christ and receive Christ in the body and blood, I find healing. My home is a source of healing as I keep it orderly and minimized primarily because the clutter of my mind is overwhelming enough.  Today, I shall do a yoga pose, visit the poor, and sit in the calm of my living room and express gratitude for this day of healing.
