Many people living with AIDS, and sadly, just many people, grew up with abuse - mental, physical, emotional, sexual. Many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people grow up with mental, emotional and physical abuse related to their sexual orientation or gender identity. At our last LGBT Soul Healing Evening, we offered a blessing for healing the shock and trauma from this kind of abuse. What surprised me was how many of our non-gay friends and allies requested this blessing for similar abuse that they had endured. Abuse is far too common and help is needed. Soul Healing is a powerful tool to help. When we are abused, our souls are damaged. Heal the soul first, and the mind and body will follow. You may have read my post on bullying. There is a practice there for healing the hurt of having been bullied. I read an article today on Soul Healing for survivors of abuse,
Soul Healing Through The Forgiveness Practice. This article also had a helpful Soul Healing practice for healing and forgiving. Many of the people who have been in my classes, workshops and personal counseling have experienced abuse. Many have found that the Soul Healing teachings and blessings have helped them to transform the pain and suffering into hope and peace. Let's break the cycle of abuse. Let's step off the wheel of karma. Let's heal our hurts and create a world of love, peace and harmony.
