Healing through Service
Sometimes when we are ill or have problems, we become very self-focused and think that all of the drama in life revolves around us. One secret to healing is to move out of introversion, where we feel like a victim of life and our circumstances. Self-focus binds our problems ever tighter to us, creating tension. The principle of unselfishness literally means beyond the self, the little self. Unselfishness implies living a larger life, beyond the boundaries of the human self. This key to healing is a golden bridge to the hearts of others. When we forget ourselves and give service to life in some way, we are free to enjoy life, be happy, and to be who we really are.
Contemplation
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Sing the words Divine Love, or spell them D-i-v-i-n-e L-o-v-e. Silently ask, "What are you asking me to do? How may I serve?" Listen.
Action
Give a gift or service anonymously. Look for ways to put others first.
