PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

With my recent emotional healing process,  I have finally outgrown my emotional dependency of others and rely on my higher self.  This has been an arduous path as I imagine this experience to be similar to children leaving home for the first time.  Because of my dysfunctional childhood history, I never truly grew up and left home emotionally. Even after I left my parents’ home, I continue to form dependencies with boyfriends, my ex-husband, friends, and others.  This emotional dependency kept me a prisoner in the jail I created for myself.

Since practicing emotional release and observing ego work, I have begun to grow up emotionally and learned to follow my higher self as my guide. Growing up emotionally means to stand on our own two feet without depending on another, whether on a parent, parental figure, partner, or friend. It is being able to sooth and comfort ourselves when things get hard in our lives, resolving our own problems, and healing ourselves without the dependency of another.   There is nothing wrong with sharing our experiences with others because it is sharing our lives, but we simply do not need another to survive.

In the past, when I had difficulties, I felt the need to run to someone to help me whether to comfort me, to resolve my problems, or to seek protection.  Now, I no longer need this from another.  After extensive self esteem work through healing my emotional wounds, I began to realize that I do not need another for any of these above-mentioned things.  I am now strong enough to comfort myself from harm or hurt in my life, have the skills to resolve my own problems, and finally, I have the confidence to protect myself without another’s help.

When I share my life with others now, it is out of want since others may enrich and enhance my life and not out of need.  When we reach this place of independence and self sufficiency, we have finally grown up emotionally.  May you find emotional growth in your life, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
