Heart Healing
Today, we are welcomed even deeper into the healing of our hearts.
We often change much of our external circumstances with the hope that this will make our experiences feel better or be more fulfilling. However, this will only work for a period of time, if it works at all.
True healing begins with a journey within.
As we go within, our wounds and traumas begin to surface from our subconscious minds. When the externally caused wounds are revealed, we also have the opportunity to uncover the ways in which we have been wounding ourselves through self-sabotage both with our thoughts and our behaviors.
As we uncover the pain of the past, we are encouraged to release it. This may be facilitated by making any necessary amends both to ourselves and others. We may also engage in forgiveness practices. These practices and others allow us to start to learn how to give ourselves permission to live in an entirely new way without the weight and bondage of the past.
This can be deeply challenging and uncomfortable at first. And, we often see that when we shed light in some of the shadows, we find things we did not know where there, including additional wounding. We might also find that we need to develop different strategies for life, as our old coping mechanisms no longer seem to work. We may even find that we feel totally out of sorts, less resilient, and unsafe.
Although we are often tempted to find a quick solution, this process cannot be rushed. Healing happens on its own timetable and in its own process. We are encouraged to keep going and not give up before we break through - this requires trust and faith.
What we are truly being asked to do as part of this healing journey is to love ourselves - for this is the key to unlock so much greater of an experience of self and this world.
We are encouraged to engage in radical self-care, as well as to allow ourselves support and to reach out to those around us.
We are also encouraged to step out of ourselves and begin to do things for others - to be of service.
Through the healing process, we begin to create a new relationship with giving and receiving love both to ourselves and to others. This allows us to begin to receive more of the love, care, and abundance from the Universe.
Take some time to drop into your heart space today. What does your heart need? What does it reveal to you? Are you willing to allow yourself to receive the healing energy of your soul? How can you allow yourself to give and receive more love in your life today?
No matter where you are on your healing journey, you are encouraged to go deeper - for we never stop healing and learning. Remember, you are not alone, and you are deeply loved.
