Time heals...it's been a few years since the 9/11 trauma and it has taken me this long to find a way to help the healing process of The Big City! You see, I'm a professional shaman who lives within driving distance of Manhattan. However, unlike other healers and the many others who personally went into 'ground zero' to offer their services, I didn't go. I knew that I was too sensitive to handle the initial massive trauma that must have been all around. I feared that the scar would stay with me for life.
My wife and I did some shopping on the Jersey side of the Hudson many months later and I was shocked to find smoke still rising above Lower Manhattan. I knew then that I had made the right decision not to go earlier.......it was just too much for me!
Now that some time has passed, and re-construction is in it's early phase.....this article is my small contribution the the healing process.
Although I was born in Brooklyn, I left there as a very young child. I have spent most of my life in NYC suburbs, mostly in Long Island and currently in a very small town just north of the city, along the Hudson River. So when I visit Manhattan, really I'm just another tourist.........I visit but don't really live there. However, the city always stays in the background of my life. I can sense that it is there, and realize it is a major factor in many people's lives around me. Also, at least to me...to say I'm a New Yorker implies some kind of connection the the city.
I don't think my sense of connection to The Big Apple is really unique.....the World uses it as it's financial center. So I suspect that in some way it is a background factor to the The Global Community. We know that the effects of 9/11 were felt around the world.
With this in mind....my spirit guides suggest we use this re-building process to re-think about what to build. Do we simply re-construct the World's Financial Center, and get back to business as usual, or move beyond that? Frankly, I think the shake up was strong enough to get us moving in a slightly new direction. Evolution is a slow process, but we are at one of it's doorways right now!
The health and mental fields have been integrating holism for many years now. The business world has been very stuck in older, more fragmented approaches to planning and operation. This time of reconstruction is also a real chance to bring [ spirit to work ]. It's a chance to create a more holistic, global and integrated business model. Holism makes everything Holy, yes even business. This whole business model states that money and business are just another aspect of Spirit.
So business holism is not about going broke.....and heading off to a monastery, but actually making more money, and creating even more success. This newer model suggests that if you can create meaningful inner changes then you can also create outer improvements.
So Manhattan......take your place again in the Global Business Community, be even bigger and brighter then before. Guide the way to Liberty and take holism as your new torch! Good Luck!
