Woundology - a new word that came into one's awareness only recently.  It has been a theme of discussion with friends and family this last week and it has been enlightening to explore our experiences and the time and energy we give to our wounds.  It brings powerful insight and with gratitude Caroline Myss shares her wise counsel on woundology and its meaning.  Woundology is when we use the wounds of our past to socially control others. It is so easy for us to count the number of people that we feel have inflicted pain in our lives.  However if we take a more balanced perspective and turn the mirror towards ourselves, we have equally brought wounds and pain to many also in our lifetime. Today, I am finding myself amidst conversations listening and hearing whether it is wounds or wisdom that is being passed on and you can feel the grace of energy flow when the intention is wisdom based.  You can also feel the flow of energy being taken when it is wounds being passed on.  So it's definitely something we can pay attention to to preserve the gift of energy we have and to utilise it to serve accordingly. Caroline Myss shares in her 'Sacred Contracts' book 'our biography creates our biology' and this also rings true and worth examining within our own lives.  Many spiritual leaders share about the interrelationship of the body, mind and soul connection that our bodies follow suit what is being experienced by the mind and soul and reflects in the body on a physical, cellular and genetic level.  Our cells move to the stories and thoughts we tell ourselves. So when we bring this wisdom together with what is mentioned earlier about sharing wounds or wisdom, there is an impact on our physiology and psychology throughout our lifetime from the stories of wounds and wisdom that we share. In our day to day conversations be an observer and be a listener to ourselves and to others whilst in discussion as to whether we are utilising our wounds of the past to control others, or whether it is wisdom we are gifting. How fruitful is Gandhi's quote 'Be the change you want to see in the world'.  If we continue down the path of woundology, we will live our time on earth by sharing our wounds only.  We will be 'captured' in thought processes that will imprison our souls, preventing us from healing and moving forward with greater impacts to our physical bodies.  When we share our wounds to socially control others it is our ego and fear that has come into play. Choosing to share our wisdom is allowing Divine Love speak through us and Divine Light shine through us.  Wisdom allows us to explore beyond 'the self' in service of others.  It brings a sense of freedom, growth and expansion to everyone we connect with and in essence gifts to our own spiritual wellbeing and global soul of our world. We have the choice now in this very moment - it is love or ego, wounds or wisdom?
