From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, the Three of Water (Cups); from the Green Wheel Oracle, Water Moon:
A table for a tea party has been set in front of a patch of lemon balm, an herb often used in teas to promote calm. Guthrie mentions the 'scent of happiness,' and indeed (if you like lemony smells) this herb is pleasantly pleasing. I've been to rowdy parties with friends, but my favorite times spent with those I love and care for have been in quieter, more intimate spaces. These settings are more conducive for sharing from the heart. The Water Moon suggests letting emotions rise to the surface and float away. It can feel safer to have someone you trust with you when doing emotional work. Forrest Hanson (son of neuropsychologist Rick Hanson) recently revealed some research that showed that successful therapy doesn't really depend on how well-trained or experienced a therapist is. Rather, it is the therapeutic alliance, the bond built between client and therapist, of which empathy is a strong factor. Is it any wonder that our close friends play such an important part in the healing of our hearts?
In theory then people who talk to themselves are pretty darn healthy :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... That might be like a bug going round and round inside of a jar. :)
