Healing old wounds
Learning to feel yourself again – with all your perceived injuries and scars that you have carried from your struggles. Accept and accept that life promises no security and is constantly changing.
At some point, every show is over. Playing the repetitive play from childhood has become tedious, wishes and hopes – burst like soap bubbles. The mental shutdown is approaching, the lights are going out, your strength is waning, your ego is failing. How did you get there?
You may have already tried a few things to get out of your dilemma. But as we all know, hope dies last. When you arrive in the underworld, it is dark. You can’t see anything and are afraid of going under. Worries and fears spread, especially at night when it’s quiet and your thoughts go round in circles.
The battle of the demons
When you reach rock bottom, you have no idea that the greatest treasure lies buried in the darkest cave – the only enemy you will face in the end is yourself. Your blind spots are now brightly illuminated. Shame, powerlessness and pain are almost unbearable in this phase, at least that’s how it feels. But the truth is that right now, space is being made for something that was previously covered up by separation and denial – your true self.
No more masks will help. The face you see in the mirror may seem ugly to you (and others), but it is healing to recognize that I am too – the light as well as the dark. We are all human, and it is in humanity that love and compassion can unfold.
Mental growth also means failing. This is the only way we can expand our boundaries and recognize what is true and what is not. Getting up and moving on, not letting fears, self-doubt and shame bury us alive. Bring home the unloved inner child, the split-off parts of the soul, the lost dreams and visions – all these lost treasures.
Raising the treasure
Open your heart to past disappointments, losses and let go of the resentment that has solidified your victim mentality. Learn to love your body and make peace – with yourself.
Crying tears of relief, learning to feel yourself again – with all your perceived injuries and scars that you have carried from your struggles. Accept and accept that life promises no security and is constantly changing. Nothing stays the same – everything will pass. You will only take home the treasures of your soul at the end of your life.
