Getting Started on your Healing Path

The most important part of the healing journey is accepting the fact that there is a wound that needs to be healed. Often many of us are walking around in this world with pent-up and repressed energies and emotions because of unhealed trauma. Whether someone is in a state of mind and health to be able to look at and feel this stuck energy consciously is completely up to them, life circumstances, and their own free will. However, it doesn't deny that these energies exist, whether they have been acknowledged or not. 

These stuck energies carry influence over our everyday life and are the reason why we do almost all of the things we do. Their existence inside our energetic bodies is why we have repeating emotional, thought, and reaction patterns. It’s also why we experience repeating life patterns; such as getting a partner who’s always really shit at communicating, a job that always takes advantage of you, or even why your car is always breaking down. It’s because the repressed energy is wanting to be released. It's influencing your choices and feelings so that maybe this time around the energy can finally flow out of you. The stuck energy also tries to be released during small triggers throughout the day by circumstances that are everyday problems but happen to cause a much larger emotional reaction within you. This is because these small injustices are triggering a much larger injustice that you’ve been put through in the past, usually from childhood trauma. And so we get triggered by a small misstep, but it ignites the level of emotion from the original injustice. You feel this emotion really intensely, sometimes all day in your heart and mind. This goes on until you push it down again, lash out at others, or finally take a look at what is actually happening. You can then consciously see the original trauma and what it needs to be felt, healed, and released in those moments. 

Without properly feeling the emotions caused by the original traumas and seeing the truths you have been denying; it allows the energy to flow out of its hiding place and through the energy bodies in an unhealthy manner. This causes more harm than good and unfortunately is what a lot of us are doing. If you can notice this happening from one of those small triggers in life the best thing you can do is try and center yourself until you feel in control of your emotions and not them controlling you. I would even keep a journal to write what upset you and how you were feeling to dissect it and go deeper into it later in a more safe space. 

What I have often experienced in sessions with clients, is that people are attached to these energetic blockages. They have begun to identify themselves with it. That this energy of repressed anger, resentment, and sadness is MINE. That they own it and that it empowers them. They then use it to punish others and to punish themselves. Or they use them as a way to cast blame and justify their actions. It is the classic Judge and Victim mentality. The ‘ of course I feel depressed and lonely, this and that happened in my childhood’ or ‘ I have a right to be angry, they did this and that to me.’ The reasons and emotions behind how you’re feeling are valid, I'm not saying that they aren’t. What I am saying is that your attachment to these events, circumstances, and emotions are doing you more harm than you realize. They are hurting you, way more than they are helping you. The person/circumstance that caused this hurt inside you isn’t in pain because you’re still angry at them. They’re most likely caught up in their own drama of emotions and repressed trauma to even notice yours. Better yet, their pent-up emotions and trauma is what caused them to act in a way to harm you in the first place. So you are not punishing or hurting anyone with that anger, hate, and pain other than yourself. It's not them who gets triggered by the small missteps in life, it's not them laying in bed depressed, or them getting angry at the smallest disadvantage. It’s you, so release it. 

When you have gotten to a point where you are ready to release these blockages by realizing and accepting that they are there; I would recommend finding a safe space to express these emotions. In this safe space you can use energetic release techniques. We naturally feel the need to laugh, cry, scream, and move our body when we are feeling a lot of emotion. Much like a child inherently does. These are the more instinctual ways to release these energetic blockages and are a good place to start. I also use others; such as singing, whistling, breathwork, journaling, and dancing. I might also lay a Crystal grid or use Reiki on myself. Another good way is to receive a massage or acupuncture. Take time to feel out what works for you as an individual and your own unique healing journey.

So to begin on the healing path, first, we have an awareness of our wounds and a desire to heal. Then comes a willingness to let go and realize these emotions are not you, nor are they your possessions, but simply stuck energy trying to move through you. And once you are here, you can begin the more active part of the healing journey and start to move those energies consciously. Awaken them on purpose and see what you find. What emotions you feel, what memories get revealed, and how your body reacts are all clues on why this energetic block occurred in the first place and how to release it for good. This is where you need to be consistent and dedicated because it is not a quick process. You will need to be motivated. Healing is not an easy path, and like anything in life, you are going to have to WANT it. And some emotions are much more difficult to release than others, usually the more deeply seated traumas. It takes practice and patience. And an incredible amount of compassion for yourself and others to walk on the healing path. It is also one of the most fulfilling paths and generates a lot more love, joy, and abundance the longer you continue. I wish you the best and am here for you on this journey. 

Sending lots of love and healing your way.
