PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

During every milestone on our spiritual journey and growth, we reflect upon what life lessons we have learned.  We celebrate the progress we have made, and take note of these important mile marks on our spiritual paths.  From my experience, I believe the most important sign of emotional recovery and healing is our ability to remain nonreactive to people who and events that remind us of our emotional past.

This nonreaction exists regardless of how others treat us or how they behave.  For me, men who cheat on their spouses/families and violate emotional or physical boundaries, and women who remain in these relationships by allowing these behaviors to occur who then become complicit in these violations, trigger me.  For myself, this dynamic became familiar, and I even adopted these behaviors in my own life.  These were the role models in my life, who I had learned to love as a child.   As there are many people like this in our society, my life was a constant struggle with instability and fear.

When we heal our emotional landscapes, we no longer react to those who remind us of our past since we longer have these wounds that others can trigger.  When we release our egos, we no longer perceive fear of possibly being injured by them.  The most miraculous part of emotional healing is that we no longer need approval from others, and when others reject us, it simply does not affect who we are.  We move on with our lives accepting who we are as we are, and know within our hearts that we will have a better life.  As we heal these wounds, we will no longer attract or feel attracted to this past dynamic in our lives.

This is the miracle of healing our emotional landscape as we simply feel differently about ourselves regardless of what others say, do, or act toward us.  I believe when we have experienced this, we have achieved true emotional healing, and we begin to live a different life.  May you find healing in your life, Brooke (Copyright 2014 Kundalini Spiriit with All Rights Reserved)
