Oprah says the universe speaks to us in whispers and if we don't listen it gets louder and louder. I probably first heard this in my twenties and kept waiting for a message from the universe. Nothing happened. Then my health started to decline and I ignored it. It started to decline more and I ignored it more. Finally I ended up in the emergency room and I couldn't ignore it anymore. There were whispers and I didn't listen until they were screams. I realized what the universe was telling me—you are out of alignment with your true self and you've fallen off your true path—and I started to make big changes. I'm still working on letting go of beliefs and expectations, but now when I slip up I'm more aware of it. The more I get into alignment the better I feel and the more that is revealed to me about my purpose. Today's words are by Rachel Naomi Remen, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom: Stories that Heal. Healing Words is an ongoing series with the intention of once a day shifting focus away from suffering and onto healing. Healing is a daily practice of listening to your inner voice and turning pain into purpose. Please feel free to share words that have helped you heal or your thoughts on these healing words.
