Work may involve sharing jobs and responsibility. As I begin to perceive my work as an opportunity to truly express myself, it is also service to the Whole. As I begin to recognize myself to be an energetic being, I may come to understand illness in a way quite distinct from conventional understanding. Disease may be seen as the result of soul loss, or an energetically unhealthy environment or diet, or perhaps psychic attack, or an unhealthy attachment. If parts of us have fled, or are stuck in other realms, or are attached to someone else, the potential for healing is limited.
Energy medicine is the medicine of the new paradigm.
Here at Oregon House, we are consciously trying to live in accordance with such truths. The key is simple trust. Through a series of early betrayals, I learned, as so many of us do, not to trust others. But I could not live in isolation because I have human needs for company when the sense of separation is too much to bear alone. To reach out to others meant I had to learn to trust others.
