My Healing

Healing comes in waves and maybe today the wave hits the rocks and that’s ok, you are still healing. Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.

Wounds don’t heal the way you want them to, they heal the way they need to. It takes time for wounds to fade into scars. It takes time for the process of healing to take place. Give yourself that time. Give yourself that grace. Be gentle with your wounds. Be gentle with your heart. You deserve to heal.

You are strong enough to face it all, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. Inhale the future and exhale the past. Healing is the end of conflict with yourself. Your purpose is hidden within your wounds. Someday you will look back, and know exactly why it had to happen. So write hard and clear about what hurts, I trust the next chapter because I know the author.

Everything you need, your courage, strength, compassion and love; everything you need is already within you. The soul always knows what to do to heal itself, the challenge is to silence the mind.

Your heart will fix itself. It’s your mind you need to worry about. Your mind where you locked the memories, your mind where you kept the pieces of the ones that hurt you; that still cut through you like shards of glass. Your mind will keep you up at night, make you cry, destroy you over and over again. You need to convince your mind that it has to let go… because your heart already knows how to heal.

I thought I was broken and needed fixing. Not true! I was hurt and needed healing, a completely different concept. People start to heal the moment they feel heard.

When there is a fresh wound in your heart, keep it open until it heals. Air it out. Understand it. Dive into it. Be fierce enough to become it. If you ignore it, it won’t be able to breathe. If ignored it will merely deepen, spread and resurface later, wanting to release; and when it later happens, it will hurt even more, because when it happens later, you won’t know what you are bleeding for. Remain with it until it clears, and watch the beauty pour into your openness. Remain open to feel lightness. Remain open to feel free.

Take all the time you need to heal emotionally. Moving on doesn’t take a day. It takes a lot of little steps to be able to break free of your broken self. Let it hurt. Let it bleed. Let it heal. And let it go.

Your peace is more important than driving yourself crazy trying to understand why something happened the way it did. Let it go. Allow yourself to transform as many times as you need to be fully happy and free. You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress.
