One of the greatest sources of wisdom lives within the darker parts of your life. If you spend some time diving into the darkness within you, you can learn more than you ever could in just avoiding it altogether.
Why you may ask?
Because spending time in the places where your pain is holding allows you to finally start the process of releasing that pain despite how uncomfortable it may be.
Bringing a sense of compassion and love to yourself will help you understand who you truly are and also give you the perspective that you are far greater than the wounds you carry.
Doesn't a life full of healing sound far better than one where you are constantly running from every bad situation or event you have ever gone through?
But how?
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.
The skill that you are looking to develop here is to get close enough to the emotions of this dark place without becoming completely overwhelmed by them. When you can experience the moment without taking yourself out of commission you know that you are in the right spot.
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.
Further, you can unravel yourself from the shackles of your past and come fully back in contact with the present moment.
So dive into this type of work and see if it helps you. Healing is right around the corner.
