Violence and Healing

When I blogg here I am sure the topics that I write about other people are writing about all over the planet. I can only hope to write in a way that may bring light and healing to others and that they can learn from my mistakes. I so wish I had someone to mentor me when I was a young person and this is my dream is that others might read what I have written, gain some insight and heal. I wish that for all the young people on the planet who’ve been hurt by violence at a young age.

One of the things I notice frequently in my practice is how often people are out of touch with their emotions. We can only be taken advantage of by others, if we have unresolved issues from the past and are afraid to be vulnerable and feel our feelings. Feelings energetically are the life-song of the universe and connect us to our Creator. Often if we have experiences of violence at an early age we may close down emotionally in order to survive. It is too painful to fully comprehend that our parents (or a trusted family member) are violating us (the people we depend on and that we love unconditionally as innocent children), are taking away our right to thrive. We close down because the emotions we feel are too scary and powerful for our little selves to comprehend. So we shut down in order to be able to be there.

This anger, grief and rage if unexpressed will come at us from the universe and we’ll continue to be drawn to it unless we look at this, heal it, bring it out into the light and learn to feel so we will recognize people who wish to subjugate us. It has been a long journey for me to overcome the violence I endured as a child, my wounds have made me who I am today and one should not be ashamed of these dark places that have defined us from our past. But I believe and am living proof that one can overcome and work with this painful stuff and use it as a force for creative actualization for ones own future.
