PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

This morning, my revelations again surprised me.  As I was thinking about the healing process, it is like an old house that we repair the damages and cracks.  The old house is still an old house, but the damages are repaired.  The house symbolizes our emotional body that needs healing after many lifetimes of trauma, abuse, and injuries.

However, once the house is repaired or healed, we must also let go of the house as it is the past.  We can no longer hang onto the past of “what ifs” or “what could have been.”  We free ourselves when we let go of regrets and lost chances and opportunities. Moving forward means surrendering these feelings and thoughts, and simply letting go of this hope of a better past.

Surrender is a strange phenomena, as it is many layers of letting go.  After healing one layer of the emotional body, we let go of that pain and even the healing of that pain, in order to heal the layers underneath.  It is this healing that is our spiritual journey.   As I work through this process, this letting go becomes easier and easier.  The happiest and most content people in the world have learned to let go and accept that change is the constant in their lives.

This is where I am on my spiritual journey as I no longer use escape or avoidance such as addiction, denial, co-dependency, infidelity, and other dysfunctional behaviors to cope with my life.   I have finally faced my demons and darkness head on by sitting  and being with my darkness and pain, thereby transmuting this pain through healing love for myself.  This is the process of transcendence beyond our smaller selves or ego, to face a new horizon that is the higher path guided by our higher selves.  May you find your higher path through transcendence.  (Copyright 2015 Awakening Journey with All Rights Reserved)
