You Can’t Heal by Healing

We’ve filled our lives with rituals of healing.
Somatic practices.
Breathwork.
Journaling.
Inner child meditations.
Tapping.
Regulating.
Naming.
Labeling.
Reframing.

We’ve been taught that if we just do the right things …
in the right order …
with the right language …
we’ll finally be okay.

But here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:

These practices are not enough.

They are scaffolding.
Maps.
Doorways.
They are starting points — beautiful ones.
But they are not the destination.

They were never meant to replace the real thing:
feeling.
Not naming the feeling.
Not watching the feeling.
Not analysing or managing the feeling.

Actually. Feeling.
Fully.
Without a timer.
Without technique.
Without performing healing while avoiding the wound.

Because you can’t regulate your way into grief.
You can’t breathwork your way into rage.
You can’t meditate your way into love that never had a home.

And if you try,
if you treat the practice as the end
it becomes another bypass.
Another shield between you and the body.

Another shield between you and the holy.

Most people don’t heal
because they never let themselves break.

They stop at the doorway
but never enter the room.
The one inside their own chest.

But if you do,
if you finally connect, embrace, merge, become, the thing
you’ve been dancing around for years...

you’ll find something no practice can give you.

A place where

real magic happens.

And it’s waiting
for the brave.

You Can’t Heal by Healing

You can only Heal by Feeling

You can do it !

You’ve got this.
