Understanding Why People Are Drawn to Healing Energy

Whether people are aware of it or not, they are attracted to individuals they perceive as enigmas; those who are different, who overcome adversity, and who are capable of transformation. For years, I was told that I attracted people because I was broken, attempting to fill a void with others. This narrative is inaccurate. I did not break myself; others inflicted wounds upon me. They tried to break me but did not succeed. I am not broken. It is not my brokenness that draws people in; it is my strength, my light, and my ability to transform and move forward. Whether consciously recognized or not, that is the true source of attraction. I am not a broken cup. People are not drawn always only to brokenness; they are often also drawn toward light.
