Life Heals When You Stop Steering the Wheel
Dear Reader,
Have I wrote about this before? If not, here I am-
If you allow life to heal you, life will heal you.
You may not need a therapist or a coach. You may not even need a lover to heal you (unlike people who seek love only to be deeply healed and evolved).
And that life that’d heal you will ask you - how many times have you surrendered to me?
You see when you lie on the hospital bed, and the nurse stitches your wound, you do not ask them what is the company they bought the needle in the injection from.
When you are lying unconscious, and the doctor opens your body up to work on an organ of yours, you do not wake up from time to time asking them how much time it would take or how they are going to specifically reach that organ through the layers of fats in your belly.
And if you do, that’s because we are overfed with information via the interest that only makes us know more than we knew earlier but also lose trust in experts owing to all the bad news we get to hear about someone somewhere unrelated to us.
Our lack of trust in others is a product of our mental conditioning and life experiences.
Our lack of trust in life is too a product of our mental conditioning.
I wouldn’t say trust is a virtue in the modern times that we live, but mistrust everywhere is definitely a trauma response.
And when we do not trust life, we do not trust our inner being that knows more than our mind does.
Notice that both the word “mind” and “inner being” are invisible things I am talking about, that can be specified or measured with science or technology.
They can only be felt.
So if you are reading this, trust that you know what I am talking about by how you are feeling about these words.
Your inner being steers the wheel of the car of your life into the direction it must flow. That ride makes you feel emotionally fulfilled - something that may not be understood or may even be frowned upon by some people in the world we live in.
And when you steer your boat in the opposite direction, you travel upstream. It’s harder for your body and you eventually feel deeply tired.
You give up. And that’s when life shows its magic.
It says, relax, we are going downstream. Your mind is shocked. Your throat screams. Your gut gets the tingly feeling it gets when going down on a roller coaster ride.
After some time, you find out you feel safer and happier. The downstream was the way. You were just told you had to go upstream, that life had to be harder than it has to be.
So, when a client called me and told me they are tired of staying positive and doing everything they can, I told them that’s because they are working AGAINST nature instead of WITH it, like they are going upstream when life is telling them to go downstream.
But isn’t it seen as wrong to be sad or to have a negative experience?
The truth is the more you fight it, the more the negative experience is going to stay in your life like a block on your chest. The day you see it, accept it and let it be, it slowly evaporates into nothingness.

I do not say “go with the flow” or “do nothing”. But I say, check the space with which you are coming from. If it’s desperation or neediness, you are riding upstream. If it’s fun and creativity, you are flowing with life, in the direction of your inner being, towards fulfillment, and not against it.
And that would be a healing experience. You wouldn’t need professional help then. It’s just you and your inner wisdom.
With love and healing,

I recently addressed GenZ mental health and self-healing philosophies to practice in a podcast with a Media Student. Here’s the link.)
