Acknowledgments
A big thank you to the thousands of readers the world over who shared with me how thrilled they were to discover the five wounds of the soul. The interest you have shown and the stories you shared have encouraged me to write a second book on the topic.
Thank you to all of the Listen to Your Body teachers who shared with me the discoveries that they and the participants have made during the numerous workshops they give each year.
Thank you to the thousands of participants who have asked me questions and shared ideas with me, which have encouraged me to improve the teaching of Listen to Your Body.
A special thank you to my nephew Sylvain who gave me the push I needed by asking me one day when I would be writing about the healing of wounds. I suggested to him and to all of the others who asked me this question to reread the last chapter of my book entitled Heal your wounds and find your true self, which deals with this very topic. He replied that he had read it several times but added it was not enough and that he was fed up being overwhelmed by his wounds. Feeling that his request was coming from the depth of his heart and that it was important for him to make progress during his healing process, I decided it would be the theme of my next book.
Thank you David Martin (The Golden Pen Inc., Ottawa) for your professionalism and your excellent translation.
Thank you to Jean-Pierre Gagnon, the General Manager of ditions ETC, for his great work and constant support.
Thank you to Monica Shields, the CEO of Listen to Your Body and my daughter, for the creation of the book cover, as she has done with most of my other books, since my very first one.
Table of Contents
Prologue
Fourteen years have now gone by since I wrote my first book on the five wounds of the soul. I decided the time had come to share with you the numerous discoveries I have made in the time since and to especially emphasize the healing of these wounds which cause suffering to so many people.
Heal your wounds and find your true self continues to break sales records in French-speaking countries and in several foreign countries. By 2014 when I was writing this book, it had been translated into sixteen languages. It dawned on me that devoting just one chapter to the healing of wounds did not seem to be enough, because I was frequently being asked, How can we heal our wounds?
If you have not read the first book, I strongly suggest you read it, because I cannot repeat all of the information it contains in this second book. In Chapter one, I have prepared a brief overview of the main characteristics to refresh the readers memory, but I would suggest just the same that you read or reread my first book on that subject. The ego reacts with such terror when confronted by wounds that it does everything in its power to prevent us from understanding or to misinterpret what has been said or written. I will be providing in Chapter three more details on the huge influence of our ego on maintaining wounds.
While reading this book, you may get the impression at times I am not saying exactly the same thing as in the first book. Please do not worry about which version you should believe. The current version is definitely the one to go with, since I have discovered many subtleties in the past fourteen years that I was unaware of previously.
With the thousands of workshops that I and my teachers have given over all these years, I can speak much more specifically about wounds on the basis of what we have observed personally and what the participants have noted and shared with us.
In this book, you will learn how to deal with the human dimension that continues to believe that a given behaviour means rejection, that another behaviour means abandonment, and so on, for the five wounds. Reality is totally different. When you perceive matters from the heart, you have more of an overall perspective and observe both people and situations from a new vantage point.
For example, someone can talk to you in a way that makes you feel rejected, but they are only expressing their needs or limits. As you get to the point that you are just able to observe that you feel a wound, you will discover that these wounds will hurt increasingly less and last for a much shorter period of time.
People have often told me that when they discover their wounds, either by reading the book or attending a workshop, they were angered and even discouraged to learn unpleasant things about themselves. Their first reaction was to deny what they discovered and to put the situation behind them.
It is important that you dont kid yourself into thinking that, going forward, youll have every trick in the book you need to shield yourself from wounds. I am convinced that until such time a person returns to Earth, their wounds prevent them from being themselves, being centered and being in their heart.
The desire to eliminate them is an indication of rejection, not acceptance, just like someone who wants to lose weight rejects himself instead of accepting himself. We know that if we manage to get rid of something or someone because we cannot accept it or them, this is but a temporary measure, because the situation returns with a vengeance. It sometimes reappears in a different form, but it causes us just as much suffering.
Recognizing which wound has been activated and how to accept it will help you to avoid using the mask associated with this wound. You will be pleasantly surprised to discover that you can apply balm to the wound very quickly to put an end to your suffering. This balm is called acceptance. The wounds gradually decrease in intensity and hurt increasingly less when they are activated.
I am assuming youre aware of the power of acceptance, as it is a topic that comes back in every one of my books, conferences and all of the workshops. We continue talking about it tirelessly, because the ego remembers past suffering especially and causes us to ignore what we hear that is new.
Please note that any references to the male gender apply equally to women, and if not, specific mention will be made to this effect.
To help you be more aware of the significance of each of your wounds, which is yet another major reason why I wrote this book, I will cite numerous examples of wounds that have been activated. Over the years, I have often asked people very familiar with the topic the following question: Are you aware of the wound that has been affected in the situation you have just described for me? And the person would look at me in total surprise, because they only considered their impatience, for example. That is a good example of our ego that prevents us from being aware of each instance where a wound has been activated. How can you heal your injuries gradually when you are not aware that they are causing you to suffer?
