PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Sometimes, we are brought gifts into our lives when we don’t even realize it.  Through encounters with people and events, we are shown what still remain unhealed within us.  When we first come to this realization, we deny this to ourselves and refuse to believe this about ourselves.  As time settles in and as an awakened person, I begin to see what still remains unhealed within me with great clarity.

This has been my recent experience involving my soul mate who I met four years ago and mirrors me down to the last emotional fracture.  He reflects back what is still unhealed within me with such clarity that it shocks me sometimes. This reflection can be difficult to accept about myself, still fearful and injured.  Who wants to admit this about ourselves?

After each of our encounters and connections, I return to my difficult emotional work of understanding why these emotional fractures still remain.  What is causing these fears?  Why am I still reacting in this way?  With each interaction, it is getting easier and easier and my letting go is getting faster and faster.

Much of what I say to him or accuse him of doing, I am really talking to myself in the mirror.  My reactions to our interaction are caused by what still remains unhealed within me.  When I began to perceive my world in this way, I am now able to identify my own issues more easily without going through 10 years of therapy to figure it out.  Our soul mates are brought to us to help us understand about ourselves and mirror back to us what we must pay attention to in order to change our lives.  It does, however, feel like a cold smack in the face sometimes.
