PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Three years ago, I moved to a small rural valley community in the mountains.  When I first arrived here, I did not think it would ever be called home, but I have fallen in love with this little valley.  I found so many friends who I can truly call friends and share my passion for rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, biking, caving, and enjoying the outdoors!  I even found a spiritual community to further develop my intuitive abilities through Reiki practice, and where I share my spiritual healing practices with others.

I finally found peace within myself that allows me to feel at home no matter where I am or go because home is where my soul is.  My soul has finally rested after running after a life that is not meant for my higher path, but driven by my ego.  Somehow, I was trying to out run the truth about myself and my life.  I could not tolerate the emotional pain from my childhood abuse and my abuse later as an adult.  I simply could not face my own truth.

True peace comes from facing the darkness within each of us, and when that darkness is cleansed by the light of day, we are free.  Even if we refuse to face this darkness, it nevertheless, surfaces every day through comments by others who hurt our feelings, memories that arise in our consciousness, or events that remind us of our past emotional pain.

The truth is that we can run, but we can’t hide from our inner demons and darkness.  It will surface whether we like it or not, or we may suffer the consequences of these inner demons and darkness in our present lives.  We all have inner demons and darkness from our emotional wounds and pains, and there are no exceptions.  Once we confront and resolve them, we are free from them.  May you find freedom from your demons and shed light on your darkness.  (Copyright 2015 Awakening Journey with All Rights Reserved)
