Not So Daily

Apparently, I'm not doing a great job keeping up with this blog. Maybe that's what happens when you keep multiple blogs going.

I'm on day two of a migraine. This sometimes are more subtle, however I think I'm making it worse by trying to work on the computer. I have enough Type A in me that a ton of emails and an almost complete (now finished) website have made me masochistic. Joy.

It's hard to believe that two weeks ago I was giving someone advice on how to help their own migraines. I don't have them often. Really. Excedrin really takes the edge off. By the way, Excedrin and Excedrin Migraine have the exact same ingredients, so it doesn't matter which one you buy. (Yeah, I'm a label reader.)

I've been told that I fit the archetype of the "wounded healer. "

Who is The Wounded Healer? Many articles and books have been written about 'The Wounded Healer.' It is the person who has gone through suffering, sometimes great, and as a result of that process has become a source of great wisdom, healing power and inspiration for others. In fact, the archetypal wounded healer undergoes a transformation as a result of their wound, their suffering and pain. They can actually transcend it, and successfully lead themselves to a path of service. It is as if the wound itself helps you drive yourself to an inner journey that becomes the transformation itself. One strips away the selfish, ego-based feeling of being all alone in our wound and expands to see others and how if one chooses a different role, one can help.

The Wounded Healer is often the Victim - He who must suffer the wounds of life to understand. Do you set yourself up to be a victim?

There are many wounded healers that we all know, once we start to think about it. Christopher Reeve, 'Superman', became paralyzed and is now a champion in fighting and researching how to cure such spinal paralysis. Lance Armstrong has continued to win cycling tournaments and is a fundraiser for cancer. They have gone beyond their illness and suffering, and it does not define them, despite the fact that their wound might still be visible.

So here I am. Again. At least I have chiropractic and Reiki scheduled for tomorrow.
