Reflect upon a time when your body was hurt or injured. Was the physical limitation annoying? If so, it meant the injury represented an unrealized expectation: something you would like to do but no longer could. Every injury potentially has two expressions of healing. The first is the physical healing of the injury itself. The second is the healing of the mind back into the body. During this healing the mind genuinely cares for the fact that the body is hurt and reconnects with the body. What is healed during this phase is the rift between what the body can no longer do that irritates the mind and the compassion of the mind for an injured body. This is the most important expression of healing, since we are now aligning ourselves with the reality of the loss of potential.
