PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

During emotional healing work, we will see dramatic changes in our self esteem.  If we have faced childhood abuse or trauma, our self esteems are generally extremely low. We feel somehow responsible for the abuse and trauma instead of recognizing those who hurt us as being responsible for their actions and behaviors.  We believe that we are somehow not good enough that why we were abused as children.

I want to take a moment to distinguish between recognizing the person who abused us as being responsible for his or her actions and behaviors, and forgiving someone for hurting us.  Forgiveness is done so we can let go of the hurt within us, and recognizing that someone hurt us is so we don’t allow these individuals to hurt us again. This is an important distinction, and not to be confused.

I have observed this dramatic change within myself in that I now feel I deserve unconditional love, compassion, and protection in my life that I never received as a child.  I feel that the people in my life should feel happy to have me in their lives, and that I deserve to be treated with love, respect, and kindness. I refuse to be anyone else but myself for I am proud of being me.  I will not accept leftovers or being treated as a second class citizen in my life. Those who do not like me, do not need to be part of my life, and I am okay with this.

I no longer need everyone to like me, to approve of me, and to praise me. I have come to accept myself for who I am, and not who someone else thinks I should be.  I am finally comfortable within my own skin, and I am proud and thankful for who I am now.  When we heal the hurt and pain within us, we find we have blossomed into this beautiful person we are intended to be, and we are just so grateful to be who we are. May you find the beautiful person within you, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
