Healer
Being able to call on her nurturing support is fundamental to your survival. She's always close by, but if you are unwell and continue to ignore her wise promptings, your pain will be exacerbated.
The Healer kneads your muscles. Her hands are soft and strong as she releases the dark cells of trauma long held within your body. She smells of lemongrass and tamarind, and you can feel the warmth of her breasts pressed gently against your back. She absorbs and absolves the burden of guilt and sadness that tortures you; your chest opens and you can breathe deeply. She asks you the questions you need to answer.
When you are exhausted from striving but continue to push yourself, she encourages you to put down your tools and rest. When you cannot sleep, she closes your eyes. And if you are prepared to listen, she will teach you how to let misfortune harmlessly pass by.
And when the time comes to let go of your life and step into the fire ring, she will take your hand and accompany you. Stepping through the ring of healing flame, she will enfold you in her arms to cauterize your wounds. Go to her; she will relieve you from your hurt.
