Healing is also about making space to receive what is good for us.

A few days ago I read something that deeply resonated with me. We do not heal to learn how to manage our traumas but to learn how to manage our happiness.

This made me think of the teaching of Waqib’ B’atz’ and how often we place so much of our attention on what hurts, forgetting that we also deserve what is good. We deserve to be happy, to be loved, and to allow ourselves to receive both. Healing is not only about facing the pain, it is also about learning to receive joy without guilt or fear.
Sanar también es hacer espacio para recibir lo que nos hace bien.

Hace unos días leí algo que me resonó mucho: no sanamos para aprender a manejar nuestros traumas sino para aprender a manejar nuestra felicidad.

Esto me hizo pensar en la enseñanza de Waqib’ B’atz’ y en cómo muchas veces ponemos toda la atención en lo que nos duele y se nos olvida que también merecemos lo bueno. Merecemos ser felices, merecemos ser amados y también se trata de abrirnos a eso. Sanar no es solo mirar el dolor, es aprender a recibir la alegría sin culpa ni miedo.
