PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Recently, I am experiencing a shift within my emotional landscape.  These changes have to do with letting go of the emotional pain I have hung onto for many lifetimes.  It is letting go of the emotional pain in this lifetime from my abuse at the hands of my father, and growing up with a mentally ill and jealous mother who could not protect me.  In letting go of our past emotional pain, the people in our current lives begin to appear very different as we are seeing them through very different lenses.  The victim lenses that I saw my world is beginning to fall away.

As all of this emotional pain is released through “Emotional Release Practice” found at this tab on my Blogsite Homepage, I see that love lies beneath this pain.  I realize how deeply I love my father, and how much I have missed him in my life.  I begin to forgive the emotional wounds in my mother too that has clouded her vision of her world that made her a victim as well.  In truth, my family members all perceive ourselves as victims blaming others around us for our own emotional pain.

In my new world, I will be working this years toward reuniting with my parents in the hopes of having a different relationship with them based on compassion, forgiveness, and love.  It is not trying to recreate a past that we did not have, but to create a new future that we can have together now.  I can not change my family, but I changed myself in order to be with them. Isn’t that what love is?   (Copyright 2014 Awakening Journey with All Rights Reserved)
