PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

This weekend was a reunion with two wonderful artist friends at a Lakefront condo. It has been a year since I last saw them, and we spent the weekend catching up on all that had happened in the past year. When I last saw them a year ago, I was in a very different emotional place. At that time, many of my emotional wounds were still quite exposed. I felt hurt by things they said to me, and we engaged in ego battles back then.

My experience was so different this time. What I once would have been offended, no longer offends me because the hurt is no longer within me. I am now able to see and hear what others say objectively without taking it personally. When we feel slighted, offended, and hurt by others, that hurt is really within us. When we heal that hurt within us, we no longer perceive the hurt and pain from others.  My ego also is no longer creating fear within me that I am not good enough, or that I may be disliked.  This revelation has helped me understand the importance of healing my emotional landscapes and releasing my ego.

As I am still in the process of healing, I discussed my need to be alone to work through dependency, attachment, and healthy boundary issues during this time. This time of emotional healing is important, I feel, to learn healthy boundaries, and practice detachment or non-attachment. Unfortunately, this cannot be done with another, and must be done alone. As part of the process of learning detachment, we must learn independence, self sufficient, and self reliance.

When we engage in a relationship with another, dependency or attachment naturally results until we have learned to live without it first. This is where I am in my emotional process. It is a critical juncture in my emotional healing work that will change my soul life forever. It is with this understanding that I persevere forward alone.
