Finding the healing path is a solitary journey.
Lone Surfer by Anabelle Raine
We are in a time of so much information and it can be difficult to discern the right path to healing. And as you may have already become aware, there is not one path. Nor should there be. We are individuals, no one person has walked the same path, lived the same life and can tell the same tales.
Finding the healing path is a solitary journey. You can walk side by side your partner or your friends and family however action means walking alone. It is not easy and sometimes it down right difficult and you can be ready to throw in the towel. The flip side to the hard work is finding peace and spaciousness in our busy and complicated lives.
If you are reading this post I will assume you are here because you are looking for information regarding healing or maybe you are struggling with an uncomfortable emotion and are looking for answers.
I will tell you what I know and has helped me find more peace than uncomfortable emotions. More love than hate and anger. More joy than sadness.
So, let’s begin;
Be curious to explore your emotions – if you experience an uncomfortable emotional energy in your body, notice it and ask yourself, “what are my thoughts saying?”.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable – invite the uncomfortable feelings in, it is energy moving through your body. You need to feel to heal - pay attention to how emotion show up in your body. Become aware of the sensation in your body when you feel an uncomfortable emotion.
You are in control of your own emotions and your reactions are your responsibility. Many of us may not like this, but you choose how to react to life, conscious or unconscious.
Don’t resist - You need to process emotion just like food. We need to move through an emotion for it to be released. In todays’ world we don’t like the difficult emotions and we tend smother them with toxic happiness, trying to see the positive in all situation. And as we all know some life situations are truly horrible, sad, and grim. And to move through these tough times, we need to feeling and process the emotion.
Once an emotion is processed it never leaves you. You become super-efficient at recognising the uncomfortable emotional energy and you become proficient at soothing yourself in a healthy way.
You need to feel with your body and heart and let go of any story in your head. This is hard work as we are told many stories from the day we enter this world. In a self directed healing session, I will ask you to shut down your logical brain and listen to your heart. This is where the healing takes place
Change is another part of life we humans have trouble with. We want to keep everything happy and perfect or in particular way so we have control. In reality we have no control at all. At any time, the rug can be pulled from underneath us. And we are forced to change and adapted. Change is something we do continually from our conception. We grow as children; we are constantly learning intentionally or not. Our beliefs and values change. Inside our body our hormones change and influence our body, from babies through puberty, midlife and old age. And if you look outside the seasons are changing, the moon too is changing. There is no such thing as staying as permanent.
Below is a formular I have picked/stolen from someone not sure who, however it has helped me to navigate my healing journey.
Experience + Feeling = Clarity + wisdom
So, if you are looking for a starting point to begin your healing journey, look inwards.
I hope you will join me again as this is just the start as my intention this year is each month to give you an emotional profile, so you are able to recognise emotions in your body. So stayed turned.
If you have difficulty feeling emotions or maybe you are emotionally sensitive and you are open to healing, book in for a discovery call and we can chat how self directed healing can help you.
