Healing: Listener comment

I HAVE had one thing that so far has NOT made sense to me. Perhaps you want to share in a podcast about it, or share in another way.It sounds to me like you say that NO healing happens until we stay with something, NO healing happens if we distract.That’s not been my experience, though it is clearly my experience that much healing has not happened for that reason. But I don’t see it 100%. I spent an entire winter watching marvel movies and experienced tremendous healing. It was the best thing I could have done (in the absence of Clare!)I have had profound shifts just in the joy of living, in dance, in walks in the woods, in distraction, full presence with a client, or with a bite of delicious food!And my understanding of the brain is that healing and shifts in one area extends to other areas that aren’t being used, and that the resistance of habitual neural pathways starts to return when left alone. I read an amazing book, somewhat separate look at it, at how people who can’t hear, come to actually hear through touch, etc. The system is brilliant and has work-arounds that infiltrate the lapses.Which is not to negate at all that’s happening here.  This has been earth shattering in its truth for me.But the idea that something can’t heal without direct attention… To me, the only reasons this perhaps subtle discrepancy seems relevant, is 1) because the silence of the mind, the peace that Syd pointed to (from whatever crutch we may use - a walk in the woods etc) has been tremendously healing for me, and 2) because 100% dependence on our attention flies in the face of my reverence for the miraculous unfolding of life.Perhaps this is semantics. But it has been popping up for me! That said, it has been 100% clear to me that running away from experience has also been happening, and I feel graced beyond measure that that is happening less and less thanks to what you are sharing with us!
