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?
Because when you spend time in places where you are holding pain, you can finally begin the process of healing old wounds instead of letting them remain open forever.
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?
The quickest way to get to the darkest shadows of your life is to enter into a state of meditation. Allow yourself to go back to the deepest and darkest places you can go to at that time, and sit in those places. Relive those moments and watch the emotions of your life swirl around you. Continue to breathe. Continue to stay in the moment as much as you can.
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.
While going into the darker shadows of our life is very challenging and takes a lot of practice, the journey of doing this practice over and over is one of the greater things you can learn in life. It's worth the journey because you are able to handle the inevitable ups and downs with life instead of just running from your problems.
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.
