Last night ten people who work and live together in the ashram house met in the seminar room to support the healing process of one.

The process could also be called inner work, but I cannot get myself to use that term because it was more joyful than work is generally taken to be....
Picture

The healing process focused on the stories of family members going back for generations. Each was wounded by emotional traumas such as from the war and had buried their emotions, not facing them due to the pain. These suppressed emotions prevented them from expressing love, and the pain passed from one generation to the next. None of us besides the one and her facilitator, knew any of the history.

Ashram residents and working guests played family members of the one, not as actors in pre-defined roles, but being blank in thought and open to whatever feelings came up as that family member, most of whom are no longer in the body.

Emotions of the ashram players came up as they felt emotions of the deceased for whom they were standing in. I felt empathically moved but not emotional, by the expressions of pain of those who felt not loved by parents and the pain of parents who loved but could not express it towards their children.

In my role as paternal grandfather to a son who would not face his emotions, I felt the pain of observing unhappiness in my family and being unable to change it. The son was the father of the focus of the healing process. When I was asked how I felt towards my son, I said I felt a barrier. We learned then from the facilitator that I died without coming to resolution with him.

Various family situations were brought to light by the facilitator, who did a skillful job of speaking in Deutsche for nine and English for one other stand-in and myself. She or the focus of healing would move us into position with another family member or ask us to move where we felt best. At various points she would ask what we felt in the moment.

The center of the process and two others of the family felt drawn to stand with the paternal grandfather. I felt my stillpoint expand to support the healing process, which was now extending to all in the room and not only their roles.

Towards the end, some family members stood behind each other in a train, holding the one in front. I could feel and see in a psychic sense a warm white light connecting from one generation to the next.

My son and I faced each other, he saying without prompting, 'you are my father' and me saying, 'you are my son, let's not have any barriers between us.' He agreed. I added, 'I forgive you, do you forgive me?' He assented and we hugged warmly. Relief and joy in the room was palpable.

A picture in my mind of an apple tree had persisted through much of the process and I had dismissed it. But it wouldn't go away, and finally when asked what I was feeling I said, 'I keep seeing an apple tree.' The facilitator and subject conferred and we were told that there was a large apple tree in the yard of the home where she grew up.

There are many ways of healing. After the group healing, I felt that this, more than tending the fire, vacuuming the floor or cleaning the kitchen, is my reason for being here. I would not seek to be a facilitator or participant, but when life puts it in front of me as it did last night 15 minutes before the process began, I say 'Yes!'

Fire tending, cleaning and vacuuming need to be done, of course. I do not call myself a healer. Still, healing is part of my authentic nature.

The word healing is related to the word whole, which can mean, 'all of; entire,' 'in an unbroken or undamaged state; in one piece,' and/or  'a thing that is complete in itself.'

Old English hǣlan (in the sense ‘restore to sound health’), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch heelenand German heilen, also to whole.
​

Considering this honestly, who among us is in need of healing? Who among us is really already whole?
