Heading into the hurtful and painful parts of your past is pretty nerve-wracking. It's a tough place to spend time. In fact, most of us just avoid this place altogether. Despite that, it's one of the greatest sources of true wisdom.
Why?
When you start taking the time to nourish old wounds, you finally begin a healing process that has been waiting for you for such a long time.
When you go into the shadows with compassion and love and actually attempt to understand the parts of you that could be experiencing discomfort you give yourself the chance to heal.
Wouldn't it be amazing to have a life that is full of healing instead of one where you are constantly running from all of the pain you have ever felt?
But how do you really put this into action?
The quickest way to get to the darkest shadows of your life is to enter into a state of meditation. Allow yourself to go back to the deepest and darkest places you can go to at that time, and sit in those places. Relive those moments and watch the emotions of your life swirl around you. Continue to breathe. Continue to stay in the moment as much as you can.
Over time, you are looking to get close enough to these dark places without actually getting completely overwhelmed by the emotions they bring up. When you can start to go back to these places without actually taking yourself out of the game completely, you can truly begin the healing process.
Most people in this world simple run from their problems. However, if you continue takings this journey over and over again, you will learn that you don't have to actually avoid anything to truly not experience it anymore. In fact, you learn that by experiencing something, you actually give yourself the chance to fully heal from it.
The secondary benefit is that you get to unravel your past which allows you to come back into the present moment.
So take a dive into doing this type of work and see if it works for you! It could be something that leads to huge amounts of healing.
