The Healing Power of
Your Core Being

By Dr. Scott Peck & Shannon Peck 
Co-Founders, TheLoveCenter

Your core being has immense healing power and value.

Each of us, at our core, is pure, innocent, divine, and exquisitely beautiful. There is even a radiant energy that flows from our core when we know ourselves at this inner level of substance.

Do you know your core value?

If you made a list of your top qualities, what five qualities would most describe your inner core self? If you’re not sure, think of what others who know you well would say. The truth about each of us is really not a secret. And the truth about our core being has nothing to do with ego. We each have healing core strength, but we need to have the spiritual courage to see and accept our talents. You honor yourself at the deepest level – and you bring yourself into highest service – when you honor your core being.

For example, Shannon’s core being could be described as nurturing, honoring, healing, comforting, expanding, and inspiring. The core qualities driving Scott’s life could de described as compassionate loving, unifying, peacemaking, and honoring. Again, this is not about ego. It’s about honoring the core talents given to each of us. Without such honoring, we lose touch with the power of our core being and the ability to live at the possibilities of our healing strength.

Take a moment and participate with us. Are you willing to love yourself enough to truly honor your long or short list of positive qualities?

If so, use a sheet of paper and don’t hold back listing the core qualities you know you were given to serve the universe. And don’t judge the list. Your list may say you are playful or goofy, wise or calming, thoughtful or helpful, committed or fatherly, generous or supportive. Whatever is on your list, your job is to value it as a universal treasure. Be as generous and accurate as you can.

Sometimes, as you make your list, you may hear a little voice in your head that is someone else’s negativity about you – or your own negative self talk. Let this go and honor your core talents. Knowing yourself is preceded by a willingness to love yourself. 

Over the coming days, keep adding more qualities as they come up. And remember not to judge them or yourself. Consider yourself as a scientist gathering data. It is personal. But it is also objective.

As you look over your list, practice honoring your core self. This creates a radiant wave coming out from you. It causes you to carry an added energy of confidence which comes from inner valuing. The energy is powerful to bless and heal. The closer you stay to your core awareness, the more you will feel the power of it. Others will feel it too.

As you continue to value yourself, you will find this attracting people to you who also appreciate your values, and people who need your core talents and your wave of radiance. This is the beginning of your life that steps out of the shadows into the bright light. And it can all occur without a word being spoken about your value. Our inner core values are mostly invisible, operating quietly. But we need to acknowledge them with  ourselves to give them birth and energy.

Whenever our thoughts or actions stem from our core being, we are in our power of radiance. This heals.

For example, Shannon was traveling alone and hoped the day of travel could somehow be meaningful. She spent awhile honoring her core identity and remembered its great value in the world. The lady next to her seat on the plane began to open up about half way through the flight and shared that she was trying to make a decision whether to have an operation recommended by her doctor. The surgery sounded complicated, serious, and necessary according to her doctor. Because her fear was so great, the woman had not been able to think about it to make a decision.

During their conversation, Shannon allowed her core qualities to radiate. She let core qualities of nurturing, comforting, and healing simply flow to this new friend. There was so much love and honoring present that the woman ended the conversation smiling and saying she felt that she could now go forward peacefully and have the operation. This is a simple example of what happens when we know our core and let it flow freely in our lives.

There is immense healing power in your core being.

Each of us has a distinct influence to bring to every situation. It may be our laughter one time, our acknowledgment another time, or even our smile radiating to a stranger. We don’t need to know how our core being will act as a healing influence to others. But we do need to honor our core being so we can let our healing power out of the bag. Welcome to the heart of Love!
