We Are the Conduits for Change

There comes a point in the healing journey when you realize: You are not waiting for change — you are the conduit for it.
Through the steady practice of mindfulness and inner healing, transformation begins to happen quietly at first. Then one day, you notice — the way you speak, the way you touch, the way you listen — something sacred is flowing through you. The words that leave your lips are softer. Your actions are more intentional. Even the energy you bring into a room feels different.
It’s not forced. It’s not a performance, it’s who you’re becoming.
I am learning to Turn the Attention Inward
At first this felt selfish, and rude to ignore others around me and put myself first. The silent agreements I had made with the world as it formed my heart into something I was not created to be. My heart has always been to help others and for so long, I thought healing meant helping others change — fixing what was broken around me. But when I finally turned my attention inward, everything shifted.
Even as a believer I would pray and ask God for change, but what I had a hard time realizing was that He, God gave us free choice. God is here to help, but the hardest work would be us to make steps in the right direction, walking with Love the pure Love He put in your heart.
When I began asking myself the hard questions and allowing silence to hold the answers, I realized how much of life I had been seeing through the lens of my own unhealed pain.
In tending to that, I didn’t just heal me — I began to see others clearly for the first time.
The Mirror I Needed to Be in True Relationship
As I learned to self-reflect, I also learned to communicate differently. Instead of reacting, I began to respond — with curiosity instead of control. Okay just writing this is another layer of release for me.
Now, when I connect with others, I listen for who they are beneath their stories. I ask questions that help them open up, not close down. And in doing so, I’m not trying to save them; I’m helping them see that the power to grow has always been within themselves.
They don’t need me to complete them. They need a deeper relationship with their own soul — the part that has been buried under the noise and domestication of a world that teaches us to forget who we are.
It's been so Freeing Coming Home to Me
Healing has a way of surprising you. It shows up in your tone, your patience, your laughter. It reveals itself in the way your heart softens again — even after all it has endured.
We are all conduits for change. Not by demanding transformation from the world, but by allowing it to begin within us.
When you return to yourself, you are able to see the parts of the world that is also healed. I know that sounds crazy given the state of the world right now today. But I sat looking out the window of my barn last evening and as the wind blew softly I saw the healed parts of the world. The lights that came on shining on the fallen leaves of many colors. the Leaves as they danced to a silent song only they could hear. Yes the ruffling of leaves sang a song to me that made me understand the world is healed and where I choice to look and reflect changes my heart.
Where are you looking for healing, change the lenses you are are currently using and see from from your pure heart.
