Heading into the hurtful and painful parts of your past is pretty nerve-wracking. It's a tough place to spend time. In fact, most of us just avoid this place altogether. Despite that, it's one of the greatest sources of true wisdom.
Why?
When you start taking the time to nourish old wounds, you finally begin a healing process that has been waiting for you for such a long time.
We are all wounded in some way. But bringing compassion and love to yourself gives you the chance to understand that we are all far greater than the wounds we carry. This perspective is priceless.
How amazing would it be to finally start living the life outside of pain that you've always wanted to live? How would it feel to be released from all of that pain?
But how do you actually do this?
Begin a meditation practice. Not anything fancy, but one where you are really focusing on your breath. Over time, start diving farther and farther into those hard moments and bring a sense of love and compassion to them. Hold the wound. Heal it. Give it the nourishment it needs.
Over time, you are looking to get close enough to these dark places without actually getting completely overwhelmed by the emotions they bring up. When you can start to go back to these places without actually taking yourself out of the game completely, you can truly begin the healing process.
Going into the shadows takes a whole lot of work and practice, but the journey in itself is worth it. It's worth it because if you do it right, you can start to feel painful events and the emotions that surround those events release from your life. You can start to heal. You can start to breathe again.
The secondary benefit is that you get to unravel your past which allows you to come back into the present moment.
So dive into this type of work and see if it helps you. Healing is right around the corner.
