Oh, wow, Anya . . . that is just beautiful!!! Are you lucky to have a boss like her! She is very deep . . .and I think she's right! We've all felt that funny pang in our chest, when we've been deeply hurt. You can feel in that moment that there's a reason for the term "Heart break!" In fact did you ever hear about how even Western docs now recognize "Broken Heart Syndrome"? Where there's nothing physically wrong with your heart but you suffer a heart attack for emotional reasons? Just incredible!
I really agree with your boss. Just from coming to know you here in our family, I
know what a blessing you will be in the lives of your future patients! There is no question. Your heart is intact, and it is through your heart that you will reach people, just as you do now with us here.
When I studied Chinese Medicine, we learned the 5 Treasures, or the 5 organs that matter. The rest just follow these others; they don't matter as much, they're like little soldiers who take orders from the generals.
They are: Heart, Lungs, Kidneys, Liver and Spleen. We also learned that the Shen (or the Self, the Personality, the Spirit or the Soul) lives inside the heart.
So one day I asked "What about the brain?" You know, "Why isn't the brain one of the 5 Treasures?" In Western Medicine we regard the brain as the centerpiece of the body after all, let alone the self. And they said "The brain is just a computer that obeys You. But You don't reside in the brain -- it does Your bidding. You reside in the Heart, at the Heart Center." It's truthfully the same story in the chakra system, isn't it? Where the self is centered in compassion and empathy within the heart?
So I know you'll be just a fabulous therapist Anya . . I'm picturing you touching the lives of many every day when I send you healing.
No update on Ronnie yet, thank you for asking, but I'll let you know when I hear! Love to you!!!
