Dear Readers and Writers of Healing Stories,
Welcome! This website, in its current form, is the seed for something bigger: a place where you can find and create solace and inspiration. The site will contain stories (fiction or expressive writing) written by you. For now, please read and enjoy magical stories, poems, and reflections (Blog) written by me, and use the Comment section for sharing.
WHAT IS A HEALING STORY?
Let’s first mention what does not qualify:
— Slapping an unconvincing Happy End on a story
— Avoiding “negative”, means painful emotions altogether
— Escaping into spiritual cliches (also called “spiritual bypass”).
A Healing Story of any genre (novel, short story, poem, memoir, journal) does not have to pretend that there are always solutions for problems. However, it does need to offer some kind of evolution. This step up could be:
- an important decision
- an emotional or spiritual discovery
- the inconvenient truth
- a change of perspective
- an expansion of consciousness.
As a writer and energy work practitioner, I am personally invested in emotional and spiritual healing. However, your Healing Story can definitely be about a physical illness.
Right now, I am in the process of writing an ebook that includes fictional Healing Stories, poems, and reflections. I have always been fascinated by magical realms and fairy tales, and my writing mirrors that. Already published is a reflection on the healing power of Andersen’s tale The Ugly Duckling.
