The Cycle of Healing

by James R. Eads

1. pain

it feels as if you are breaking into hundreds of pieces

you think nothing could possibly feel this bad, but this does.

this is suffering, and it hurts.

it takes over you and washes over your skin

it is in this pit of pain that a new understanding is born.

but you will not notice it, because in this moment

the possibility of anything good is inconceivable.

2. detachment

after the pain has hit you will question its validity

it is a visitor and it is not welcome.

you despise it and detach yourself from it.

you isolate yourself

ashamed that your pain can be seen

as weakness by others.

3. awareness

eventually you must face pain,

in order to fully heal you must rid it from your body.

this awareness is key in understanding why the pain had to happen

within each experience of pain is a chance for enlightenment

a moment that illuminates your mind.

4. acceptance

the acceptance of this pain

is your opportunity to listen to yourself.

this passage is a part of something greater,

pain, the terrible thing that it is,

exists for us to feel what it means to be alive

and without it, we would be numb to the joys of life.

5. realignment

it is when you realize that you have the ability to realign your mind,

and that through other senses you can still feel joy,

that you separate your mind from your body

and the transmutation begins to take place.

6. healing

your mind begins to alter

allowing this new understanding a space of its own.

physical objects may take on a warm glow,

you may feel a lightness of being.

if you do, hold onto this feeling,

this is what comfort feels like.

it may not last long yet,

but slowly it will start to come back.

7. enlightenment

you have experienced the worst of the pain and the healing has begun.

there is a newness to everything

what once seemed mundane is magical

and you may be hit with enlightenment.

your realization may now seem obvious

but know that you never could have understood

without knowing the pain that came beforehand.

as the healing continues you begin to forget the feeling of the pain

and the mundane creeps back in and your life returns

until you are met with the pain again

and the cycle is revisited.

may you find comfort in these words in times of great pain.

Balance in the Dark | to create in peace

Dreaming | from Nocturnal by Benjamin Britten

It’s dark outside

I got up extra early today to start my meditation and yoga, so it was still dark at the end of my session. I’ve been practicing one leg balance stands for several months now and have become quite stable – but only on one spot! Forget it if I go out on the grass or even turn directions. There is a magical bump of 200 year old knotted floor board rising into the arch of my foot that supports me. I focus on a lamp, and the light of two windows on either side engage my peripheral vision. Today dawn was still dim and I could hardly hold the pose for two seconds. I’ve been kind of low for a few days, so I must be “out of balance” and need to re-focus my attention to this pose and my psyche.

Then I realized how important light and vision are to our sense of balance. But why? I can’t give the scientific reason for it, but clearly vision is our primary sense of the world around us and it follows that it is crucial to our sense of balance. But might it be possible to develop better balance in the dark? I’ve always stumbled in the dark, tripped over my darker side. I get out of balance when the dark moods hold sway over me. My yin is overshadowed by my powerful yang, my urge to create and project.

A joy that rises (from Timid Nightingale) on A Distant Wind CD

  As I said in my last blog A Time of Retreat, I need to curl up and hibernate in joy, not in shame and failure. It should be natural to accept the balance nature teaches us, but I have bucked that my whole life. Never accepting the need for rest, good ol’ R&R. I always want more. Not materially in the classic American way, but maybe I have been a victim of the materialistic instincts of our culture. Desperate to acquire more attention, more kudos, more CD releases, more repertoire, more instruments in my collection. No Mercedes or mansions in my needs, but still a sense of impatience, dissatisfaction with my life and how it’s going.

So this winter I will seek balance in the dark. Eyes closed, or cupped hands warming my eye balls, while I learn to maintain a balanced posture of peace and wonder at the goodness of life. I want to return to the indulgent sense that I make art for art’s sake because I simply have to. It’s not a question, it’s a command the universe has given me. There’s no guilt, no rush, just love of the simple gifts life has given me and the healing it brings to the world.

Cancer is a laughing matter

First, please laugh again with me at these wonderful takes on the awful reality of cancer, penned by Trevor LaBarge, former student and dear friend here in NH. I asked Trevor a few weeks ago if he would make some cartoons about cancer. A common cure for cancer and other dire diseases is to laugh, right? Well, to my surprise he agreed. After sitting on the back lawn vamping on silly ideas for an hour, he left with an image of our four dogs surrounding him seared into the experience. Thus we have Rufus and his buddies…

As you read on, please enjoy another preview of my coming CD A Distant Wind. This is The Sweet Voice Sings, from Timid Nightingale, Sonata #2.

http://www.frankwallace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/08-Sweet-Voice-t9-EDIT2-v16-35.mp3

  I will be…

I will be better. I will be happier. I will be more productive. I will be less judgmental. I will be cured. Really? Are you sure?!

I will be me. You will be you. That we know, but we don’t know exactly what we will become, what tragedies or joys may change our lives. We can’t, it’s simply impossible! We are what we are now. I am better now. I am more loving now. I am. That’s all we can be. Present Now.

Dance the Qigong with me

I have just begun reading the book Qigong – essence of the healing dance by Garri Garripoli. It’s a great healing inspiration for me. It helps me live in the Now, to enjoy every living moment with less worry about the future and my plans for it. Less anxiety, less pointless wandering about in my mind. I have not studied Qigong formally yet, but the author takes great care to point out that following forms strictly is not the point. Gathering Qi, life force, is the point. I love that approach. It hearkens back to my early mentor Marleen Montgomery who insisted on complete presence in the breath and body. No musical gesture should sacrifice that awareness.

And so I have begun using more flowing movements of my hands in my yoga practice. My hands hold my heart and mind at some distance from my body. Is this my aura? I never really believed in that concept, until now. For the last several days, the circle my hands create is widening, and they are now “holding” my heart some 10-15 inches from my body. Today I spontaneously said out loud, “My full heart will calm my angry liver. My full heart will cool my angry liver. My full heart will heal my angry liver.”

Love is the answer

I have hundreds of well-wishers and 150 contributors to our GoFundMe campaign to thank for that. I have been immensely grateful and clear that that love will heal me. But I had never felt it so directly, so physically. The close proximity of heart and liver struck me and my liver felt engulfed by my expanding heart.

The meditation grew into a prayer for the seven chakras:

May this day Bring light to my eyes and peace to my mind. Bring resonance to my throat and wisdom to my voice. Bring love to my heart to embrace my friends, family and self. Bring breath to my lungs and clarify my intentions. Nourish my body and feed good thoughts. Root my feet, ankles, knees and hips in the earth and give life to my spirit.

Thank you all for this wonderful process. I had no idea I could feel love from my community in such a deep, moving and physically direct manner.
