Renew yourself with what is meaningful to you.
Remembering your original healing intention can be a source of meaning and strength,
a restorative when times are tough.
Your original healing intention is never quite forgotten, even though it may have become obscured, eroded by time and work demands, patient loads, and all the other details of living.
On the other hand, you may not remember an original healing intention.
Perhaps you were motivated by a desire to please someone, or by the belief that medicine offered a way to provide a precise and scientific skill without personal involvement required.
Whether or not you remember an original healing intention, chances are you can identify something meaningful in your life which may help bring more energy to your practice today.
Whatever your professional role, to be able to identify that which is meaningful can help reinforce the purpose behind your work, even in the midst of great challenges, thereby giving you and your patient easier access to the healing quality of your presence.
