"The Sacred Triad of Healing: Reclaiming Wholeness Across Time" by Robin Grant

Introduction

Healing is often seen as a journey through time, where we move forward while processing the wounds of the past. But what if healing exists beyond time, connecting our past, present, and higher selves in a unified flow? In a recent meditation, I experienced this profound truth—an encounter with what I call the Sacred Triad of Healing. This vision revealed the timeless collaboration between my inner child, my present self, and my higher self. Through it, I discovered a transformative process that I believe anyone can access.

1. The Vision: A Breastplate of Gemstones

The journey began with a vivid vision of myself as a child. I saw my younger self wearing a breastplate adorned with gemstones, much like the sacred breastplate worn by priests in the Old Testament. Some of the gemstones had fallen out, unnoticed by the child-me. I knelt down to help my younger self retrieve the scattered stones, crawling on hands and knees to find them.

As I held and comforted my younger self—sometimes even placing him on my knee to cradle him closely—I felt a surge of compassion and love. I could feel the weight of life’s cruelty, the forces that had knocked the gemstones out of place. My younger self, in his innocence, didn’t even realize they were missing or where they belonged. Together, we carefully restored each stone to its rightful place in the breastplate, feeling a profound sense of personal value return with each one.

As this unfolded, I felt the comforting presence of my higher self—a guiding, eternal aspect of me—offering support in my present moment just as I was supporting my younger self in his. Time seemed to dissolve. It felt as though the healing was happening simultaneously in the past, the present, and in a sacred, timeless realm.

2. The Sacred Triad: Past, Present, and Higher Self

The vision revealed a sacred triad at work:

The Inner Child: Represents innocence, vulnerability, and the essence of who we are at our core. This is where wounds often begin, but also where our deepest gifts lie.
The Present Self: Embodies resilience, awareness, and the ability to take action in the here and now. This is where healing begins to take shape.
The Higher Self: A divine aspect of our being that transcends time and space, guiding us with infinite wisdom and unconditional love.

Together, these three selves form a loop of healing and restoration, reminding us that we are never fragmented or alone.

3. Timeless Healing: How It Works

This experience illuminated the timeless nature of healing. When we revisit past wounds with love and compassion, we alter the energy of those moments. The ripple effect creates change not only in our present but also in our sense of the future. Similarly, connecting with our higher self provides a sense of eternal support and perspective, reminding us that all parts of our being are connected and whole.

In this vision, my higher self showed me that the same love I offered my younger self was being extended to me now, reinforcing the truth that I am both supported and a source of support for myself. This timeless, reciprocal flow of healing felt like a profound return to wholeness.

4. The Breastplate: A Symbol of Wholeness

The breastplate in my vision symbolizes the integration of lost or forgotten parts of ourselves. Just as the gemstones were restored to their rightful place, we can reclaim our own scattered energies—our forgotten strengths, childhood dreams, or neglected emotions—and bring them back into alignment.

In biblical traditions, the breastplate represented divine wisdom and alignment with higher purpose. In the vision, it became a personal symbol of restoration, reminding me that every part of us is sacred and worthy of love.

5. How to Access the Sacred Triad of Healing

Here are steps to engage with your own Sacred Triad:

Connect with Your Inner Child: Through meditation or journaling, visualize or speak to your younger self. Hold them close, offer them love, and listen to what they need to feel safe, valued, and whole.
Root Yourself in the Present: Acknowledge the power and resilience you hold now. You are the bridge between your past and your higher guidance. Take time to honor how far you’ve come.
Call on Your Higher Self: In moments of doubt, imagine your higher self offering comfort, wisdom, or light. Trust that this aspect of you exists beyond time and is always accessible.

6. The Gift of Timeless Healing

The Sacred Triad of Healing teaches us that healing is not linear but cyclical and eternal. We are constantly in dialogue with our past and future selves, supported by a higher aspect of our being that holds the key to our wholeness. By embracing this process, we step into a deeper truth: that we are always connected, always evolving, and always loved.

Invitation to Explore Your Sacred Triad

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from parts of yourself, know that healing is always within reach. Your inner child is waiting to be held, and your higher self is always there to guide you. Take a moment to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and ask yourself: What does my inner child need? How is my higher self supporting me now?

As you explore these sacred connections, may you find the lost gemstones of your spirit and restore them to their rightful place. May you come to know, as I did, the power of timeless healing and the wholeness that is always yours.
