What is Lack and How to Heal?

External lack, be it of any kind - lack of money, love, respect, acceptance and abundance of good things is a reflection of feelings of an inner lack. When we somehow develop negative beliefs about ourselves that we are not good enough, there is something wrong with us, we are less capable than others, we are not loveable, we have no value and so one, the natural result is to invite punishment for our shortcomings. We subconsciously judge ourselves to be worthy of punishment and mos of us give ourselves life-sentences. All of this happens subconsciously without us realizing that it is us who are punishing ourselves. This secret internal belief and related self-judgement provide the foundation for all external lacks in the outside world, resulting in the creation of a lack of various good things in life. So, each external lack is the result of self-punishment for some perceived flaws and faults of ourselves. This is the basis of all lack.

When we end up rejecting our internal gifts, mostly because of personal failures or society’s pressure, the external world mirrors our feelings of inner lack. When we feel we have nothing of value to offer the world, the same happens in the outside world. We make every effort not to have money in our bank, we make sure we don’t find and keep a lover, we successfully lose all good friends, we enter into situations where our self-respect is crippled and so on. So to heal the outer lack, one can go inside, meditate on the feelings associated with the outer lack. Acknowledge the feelings of inner lack, personal deficiency, flaws, and faults and help them heal.

What is the process of healing the inner lack? We can use a host of different methodologies, I recommend using all the techniques and tools you can find of. But the most significant healing happens through an experience or series of experiences that counter the original hurtful experience and associated limiting belief. So if we feel we do not have any good value to offer the world, and still offer our gifts to society, we soon begin to see that the world really likes it. Based on external positive feedback, internal belief starts shifting from negative to positive as well. Continued and repeated over time this experience undoes the initial hurt and washes away the associated negative self beliefs and poor self image. So positive experience heals the effects of the negative experience. All other healing modalities are to help you find enough courage and support to provide yourself a positive experience.

So to heal external lack, find out what is the correlating internal part of you that needs healing. Once you heal your inner wound, things automatically start changing in the outside world as a natural consequence under the universal law of cause and effect.
