Welcome to the Gathering Pod, the audio version of my weekly gathering room broadcast.

I'm Martha Beck.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome to the Gathering Room.

Our topic for the day is how to heal your heart.

I've been doing a few coaching sessions lately, which I don't usually do anymore.

There's too much demand,

frankly. So I train coaches, then my coaches coach people. And that way there's more people,

more coaches to serve the demand. But I've done a few sessions lately here and there. And I just love it.

I just love it. It's so much fun. And I realized that I used to think that I could help people.

Ha! As if I can't help anybody. I can't heal anybody's broken heart any more that I can heal a

broken bone. When there's a broken bone, the best anyone can do is put it in position and let it

heal itself. And that is the

only thing that I've ever actually done for anyone as a coach is try to hold them in position

where they're sort of aligned with themselves the way a bone is and then everything heals itself.

Your heart can heal itself and it does and it will. No matter how deep your sorrow that the heart can heal itself

you just have to know how to put it into alignment and i was thinking about this because i was

talking to this lovely man um today and he was like healing himself you know who i'm talking about

if it's you anyway um it was such a moving thing to see how

much power and efficacy was available to him for self-healing. And I thought, wow, we can all do

this and we don't do it enough enough we're sort of convinced that something outside

ourselves is going to help us or that if we can just destroy a part of ourselves that's bothering us
