Self-healing presumes a “self” to exist. Which means a certain level of awareness, a huge level of responsibility, and a gigantic level of openness. These things come bundled with every newborn. We all are part of them, and they are part of us.

Self-healing presumes a “self” to exist. Which means a certain level of awareness, a huge level of responsibility, and a gigantic level of openness. These things come bundled with every newborn. We all are part of them, and they are part of us.
Unfortunately, the adults in care of us are usually long past that age and they tend to believe something else. They have also surrendered to that something else and obey its rules. Inevitably, our newborn Self is put under enormous pressure and in most cases remains deep hidden, protected from adults, and secure.
Fortunately, when we teenage, our Self senses another chance and goes for it. We rebel. If we succeed, we empower our Self and open up to that marvelous world of Life Energy.
Once we see it, there is no way to unsee it. Life becomes a series of choices. It’s not always easy to get rid of or part with the influences that darken the human soul. But it’s worth trying. These situations are always great eye-openers.
yes indeed, however as a teenager we are caught in a struggle between wanting to belong and wanting to rebel. So we rebel by choosing a group our parents don't approve of to belong to, and loose sense of self in there as well. I do inner teenager work with people and that can really help shift values and beliefs that they claimed as theirs but didn't really evaluate.
As teenagers, we have no idea who we are and why we are where we are. We only start discovering the abundance of the world and it is overwhelming. We don’t know what we want to do. We cling to the activities perceived in impressive people, mixing up charisma with passion. Adults worsen the situation, asking stupid questions like “Who do you want to be?” or “What do you want to do for a living?” How do I know? I have no idea, I am only 12 or 15 or 18. I haven’t tried anything, and adults want me to commit myself. Beyond stupidity. Yes, that’s what we (adults) are. WE are a major contributing factor to the self-discovery crisis in teenagers. Maybe because we are ashamed to admit that our life is random and accidental, and we had never wanted it. We had dreams and we failed. Or we compromised our teenage ideals with the pressure of adults and we are still stuck there. What teenager would dream about becoming a public servant pushing papers and coffee cups and obeying orders? Yet, we have thousands of them...
