The Task of the Healer

My grandmother passed away exactly one year ago today, and this Rune you see here took quite a while to process because of that fact, the heavy overcast sky upon my city and the visions of the terrible catastrophe in Turkey and Syria. As I breathed Thanks to my inner work, I'm not shaken or pushed out of balance, but I allow myself the feelings arising from this conjunction of events.

Last year, when grandma died, I had to do a service for her and in the process freed myself to reach far deeper than I've ever gone before. Many things have happened since then and I'm a different Javier, but my purpose and service have only gained strength over time. Whenever I encounter even the tiniest whiff of pain, difficulty or anxiety within me, I know that I have work to do and it's something that I'm deeply passionate about, that brings me joy even as I cross through dark places.

I'll dedicate a part of my day to honoring grandma, the victims of this earthquake and the rest of the people experiencing anguish, sorrow, dread and helplessness elsewhere. I exhort you to pray, to contemplate those realities, to go into your memories and enter into your emotional landscapes. It will definitely bring you greater awareness and calm in this troubling situations.

Rune of the Day: Jera. Memories, Land, Fracture.

Heartache draws you to your past, unhealed wounds and injuries resurface. As the steed of memory runs through old landscapes, new sights emerge to fill in blanks in the story of your life. Introduce and welcome interruptions in your routine despite possible discomfort, for they reveal the patterns that define your existence; once revealed, you may change them. What you think daily is what you materialize, a different reality requires a different mindset. Your body is your best home, care for it, nourish and mend it; you may ignore the pain, but you pay the price all the same. Discipline is freedom, hold yourself accountable and break your chains. Let the sorrow of the world pierce you, let the joy of the world astonish you; humility can bring you treasures that no presumption can boast.

Runa del Día: Jera. Memorias, Tierra, Fractura.

La pena te llama a tu pasado, heridas y lesiones no sanadas resurgen. Mientras el corcel de la memoria galopa a través de los viejos paisajes, nuevas vistas emergen para llenar los vacíos en la historia de tu vida. Introduce y agradece interrupciones a tu rutina a pesar de posibles incomodidades, pues revelan los patrones que definen tu existencia; una vez revelados, puedes cambiarlos. Lo que piensas diariamente es lo que materializas, una realidad diferente requiere una mentalidad distinta. Tu cuerpo es tu mejor hogar, cuídalo, nútrelo y repáralo; puedes ignorar el dolor, pero pagas el precio de todos modos. La disciplina es libertad, toma responsabilidad y rompe tus cadenas. Deja que la tristeza del mundo te atraviese, deja que la alegría del mundo te asombre; la humildad te trae tesoros de los que ninguna presunción puede alardear.
