Healing ourselves through healing others.
When we try to protect our unhealed wounds by constructing a wall around our hearts we prevent the flow of love which is exactly the right medicine to heal us.
It is not easy to step outside the boundaries of our own self-interest and meet the needs of others but, when we do, we meet not just the needs of others but our own deepest needs and begin to heal wounds which have festered within our own forgetfulness.
We heal our own wounded hearts by ministering to the wounded hearts of others.
Also, by meeting the needs of others, something quite miraculous enters our lives. This miracle is called Ama. She is the Mother of our hearts.
