True Healing
At some point in your life, you have gone through an emotionally painful and exhausting phase. It's one of those things you weren't sure you'd get through. Maybe you never truly got through it and have always felt the scarring left in the wake.
Whilst some have circumstances that make pain and suffering easier to move through and heal from, others don’t. Some may have incredibly adverse factors in their lives that make healing extremely difficult. This can make true healing seem next to impossible. The concept of it becomes too arduous to even contemplate, a seemingly insurmountable pass.
Another thing I’d like to point to is willpower. Some have this extraordinarily powerful will to persevere through all adversity to the side of light and clarity where they can create and excel with their dreams. This can’t be said for everyone. Others get trapped in the pondering of their pain and wallow in it. If they do this for long enough, the pain becomes a way of defining themselves. True healing for these people takes everything they got including surrendering the fragile ego of a broken victim they’ve constructed for themselves.
To find true healing, it’s important to acknowledge that it’s a holistic process that must address every part of you. It requires you to invest body, mind, and soul into the melting pot so that you can be transformed anew with the pain of the past forged into wisdom for the future. You have to apply your presence in the process and come to value the depth and lessons of your experiences. This helps you to accept and integrate your experiences so that you can let go of the trapped emotional energy attached to them and liberate your soul.
A PRACTICE FOR ACKNOWLEDGING PAIN
Find a time and place in a day that is clear, quiet, and private, away from any prying eyes or ears. It might need to be a secluded place or at home alone. Even in your car parked somewhere peaceful. Bring a journal.
Bring to mind something bothering you. Breathe down into your belly when you think of this thing. Allow yourself to feel what emotions are attached to this. Don’t shy away from them.
Assess them and how strong a hold they have on you. Now, feel them. Really feel them. Make noises, cry, scream, wail, yell, curse the skies, the earth, whatever you need to it. Do whatever it takes with your body and voice through movement, noise, and expression to begin releasing what you’ve been shoving down and away in the hopes you won’t ever have to deal with it.
Your pain will never dissipate or clear until you acknowledge it. Acknowledge your pain!
This is the first step to pulling back the layers and shields of hurt and emotional anguish that block you from your vibrant health and happiness. Even if it’s only one layer at a time, you need to do this to get to the essence of who you are.
To close the practice. Once your emotional outbursts are done, for the time being, visualize them as powerful balls of energy. They may have different vibrant or chaotic colours. Follow this by invoking a soft silvery-white cloud to gently envelop these energy balls. Look at them outside of yourself. Thank them for showing up for you for whatever reasons they have.
Now, think about how you wish to define yourself moving forwards. If it’s not by these emotions, then allow them to be lifted away in these orbs of light into space. Physically blow them away, combining visualization, to urge them on with the thought that they are no longer part of who you want to be.
Write down the process. Write down who you do want to be. Write down the things you want to have, what you want your life to look like, in 1, 2, or maybe 5 years.
When you achieve this kind of clarity, you can access your deepest soul desires, reconnect with your life purpose and initiate all of your body's healing processes so that you can become the individual you really desire to be.
