Once again, CHIRON'S RETREAT will continue to
provide us with an
opportunity to 'heal' something. Big or small.
Inside, outside. For your self, for an other, for the Planet. For many of
us, our wounds live in our
bodies as energetic blocks
preventing us from achieving the health, fulfillment
and
happiness we know we deserve. In the
yogic paradigm these energetic blockages are understood as
‘samskara’and show up as 'karma'. Samskara’s
occur in all beings. We are all wounded. For
some, the wounds and the causes are obvious. For
other’s it is more subtle. Every
thought, action, and feeling begins with an energetic impulse. If enough repression and resistance continue
these energetic impulses coagulate and create all kinds of energetic
blockages in
the
body. This collection of energetic
impulses and blockages in the body create our health or lack thereof. Healing is removing the blockages that have
led to the negative patterns and responses in our bodies.
The
yogic paradigm also recognizes that wounds can be physical,
mental, conscious,
unconscious, emotional, spiritual, or any combination thereof. And, to make matters more confusing….some
of
these wounds are brought in from the karma of our past lives. So, what is one to do?
In our
natal
horoscopes, the placement of Chiron describes the circumstances of our
unhealed
wounds, the ones that require an integrated
approach to understand. These are
the wounds that are invisible to
the world and sometimes even invisible to ourselves.
By the time we reach our early 50’s we have
had numerous opportunities to confront these wounds and perhaps we were
successful in transforming this lead into gold. Also
around the age of 50, the asteroid
Chiron returns to the same place he was in when you were born….a Chiron
Return in the
astrological language. This might be
considered a last chance for healing the wound that binds you. It’s also a time to share your knowledge
with others and become the teacher/counselor/healer who recognizes and
helps others
with similar wounds, just as Chiron did in mythology.
The wounded healer contributes to the whole in ways
that can’t be
measured. The success of the many
different 12-step
programs is one way in which wounded healers have helped others
create
happy lives from painful pasts. We all have a touch of Chiron somewhere in our psyche. It is an archetype that the whole human race feels. The location of Chiron in your personal astrological birthmap can shed some light on the wound that follows you everywhere and has the potential to become your greatest strength.
