This is so true. I am presently beset with instance after instance where my allopathically oriented family (sisters and children) don't want my help. Free will is what it's all about, though. I have to suck it up and attend silently. It is a water trial of the first order, thought. I can just feel it wash away something in myself. Usui says..if you can't heal yourself, how can you heal others?

Yes, but are you aware of the real hero of the story, the one for whom the original tale was named? Faithful Henry? Most times this character is totally omitted in the telling of the story, but his character makes the story a quintessential healing saga. ______________________________ After the enchantment is broken, the Prince and departs to his homeland to reclaim the throne . He and the Princess leave in a splendid carriage driven by the Faithful Henry, the Prince's loyal servant. Suddenly, they hear 3 very loud sounds. It seems that when the Prince was enchanted, the Faithful Henry grieved so much, it caused 3 iron-like bands to grow around his heart. When his Prince was again made whole, Faithful Henry's heart swelled so with joy, the bands broke, and with such force the sound was almost deafening. ________________________ For those of us outside the magical kingdom, the breaking of the enchantment is a painful thing-much like getting thrown into the fire. The story is a familiar one...the bratty Princess selling her soul to con the frog into retrieving her golden toy and the frog/Prince thinking a bit of nookie will make him a Prince again! Fortunately for all concerned, it worked out, but not without a trip into the fire for the frog. In all of this, the Faithful Henry is the real healer, following the Prince wherever he went, carrying the pain of the enchantment in his heart, even while his master was an odious frog. namaste, Sarah
