PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Since beginning my spiritual journey four and half years ago, I have but one mission that is to heal emotionally from past traumas and injuries in this and past lifetimes.  In this effort, I have always been concerned about getting sidetracked and off my spiritual path.  This is quite easy to do as there are so many temptations of the ego with avoidance, denial, addictions, dependencies, and other distractions.

These distractions are so enticing as they enable us to revert back to the familiar and old patterns.  New patterns and behaviors are scary and unfamiliar, and those currently in our lives may not support such new patterns and behaviors as they may feel threatened by our recovery.  The hardest thing I have had to struggle with is breaking away and letting go of these familiar and old patterns.

It is counter-intuitive that our higher path leads us to the new and unfamiliar, and forces us to let go of old patterns, relationships, and behaviors.  I am on such a path, and I don’t allow people and events in my life now to distract me from this mission and my higher spiritual path.
