A friend of mind is a health coach and also a spiritual seeker - she writes about the intersection of the two on her Blogger blog: The Path to Enlightenment Is Paved By... I love that title - the way it makes you think about the end of the sentence, realizing that each of us have to pave our own way, in our own way.
She's taught me a lot about how that's true with healing. We're both kind of unique, having each healed ourselves from some pretty major arthritis. We both got it young (me at 14, her in her 20s I think), and we both had a lot of pain for a lot of years. And we both found our way out to the other side. So, the irony is there is that we're pretty similar in our uniqueness.
But we're really different, too, and we each created our healing our own way. Her strategies, discipline, and sequence didn't look very much like mine at all, and we each embraced truths along the way that didn't hold true for the other.
Healing, enlightenment, oneness...there is no one recipe, formula, or law to get there. What matters is the going - "the will to do, and the willingness to engage," as another friend of mine says. That old "we make the road by walking it" thing - each of us, our own footsteps, our own way.
