Healing often feels like you’re waking up from a dream. It doesn’t require you to forget about or try to erase the past, rather it requires you to integrate it.
Remember, life is our teacher. No matter what you are experiencing, healing is always available to you.
Does it happen quickly? No.
Is it easy? Absolutely not.
But instead of punishing yourself for not being further along, I invite you to hold on to the belief that you are, for now, right where you need to be.
Please don’t punish yourself for the ways you acted out your pain when you were merely trying to survive.
One of the biggest blocks along the path of healing is unpacking the guilt and shame we’ve carried with us for the ways we let ourselves or others down.
Not only do we lose trust in others at the imprint of trauma or betrayal, but we can also lose trust in ourselves.
When we are feeling abandoned, afraid, alone, untrusting or angry it is our shadow that can take hold. It doesn’t make you wrong or bad. Forgive yourself for feeling these ways and give yourself permission to heal and claim the light inside of you.
As you commune with deeper layers of grief, you are being taught to show up more compassionately towards yourself and others.
Healing takes time and courage. It takes forgiveness and love…for others and Self. You are not meant to carry your old stories of darkness and trauma to your deathbed.
Every moment is an opportunity to shed generations of familial and ancestral trauma.
Judging yourself only slows the process, keeps you blocked, holds you hostage to your own pain.
Tend to your shadows. Hold your inner-child with love, tenderness and acceptance.
Honor the walls you’ve had to build. They were there to protect you and keep you safe.
You are safe to feel what you feel now.
Trust your heart. The light in you has always been there and will never lead you astray.
Let a new story birth itself from all you have learned and overcome to be here now. Whatever you had to go through to come to this place of awakening was a divinely orchestrated gift.
And above all else, always remember…you are so deeply loved. So deeply loved.
