PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

In March of this year, I bought a townhouse that was a gift to myself to put down roots and find my place in the world so I can finally stop running.  The above is a photo of my meditation/yoga practice room that I created for myself for self care and love.   In this sanctuary, I find solace and peace when the world around me is chaotic and full of pain.

My coping skill before I began my spiritual journey and the rise of my Kundalini energy was avoidance and escape. I used ways to avoid and deny my emotional pain whether current or from the past.  I simply ran away or escaped from my reality, and denied this emotional pain.  Now, my life is so different, as the peace within me settles down my fears, panic, and anxiety when they rise.

Because of the kind of work I do working with sexually and physically assaulted students, my work is filled with trauma and emotional pain.  In the past, I could not do this kind of work, as I was so easily affected by this trauma and pain, but now I can tolerate my environment as I finally have overcome my own emotional trauma and abuse.   I am so grateful for all this so I can help others now who are wounded and need healing.  (Copyright 2015 Awakening Journey with All Rights Reserved)
