Early last year, i signed up to a diploma course in Energy Healing. For a few years now i have been fascinated by everything Metaphysical, and though i read everything i could about the subject, I didn't quite know where to start on the self healing journey.
I slowly realized that to heal your inner self truly and completing, you've got to first uncover the wounds. Emotional wounds and injuries are much the same as physical wounds. If you bandage a wound and keep it hidden under layers, sure, you may hide the oozy bruises, but in time, the skin will grow into the fabric of the bandage, and the bandage and bruise will become one big painful mess.
All of us, have some form of emotional hurts and pains we carry from our past, childhoods or even previous lives. We carry this, because we haven't learned the lesson from it, a lesson which will help us evolve. So, sometimes our life repeats situations to us, over and over, until we learn the lesson we need for our growth.
One of the activities i had to do in my energy work course was Self Forgiveness. This isn't as easy as just saying I forgive myself. It is going back to each memory of the past that we hold against our self or someone that has hurt us. Before forgiving another, we have to first learn to forgive ourself. This i found to be a painfully honest process. Over a period of one week every day, I looked at myself in the mirror, deep into my own eyes, and told myself I forgive you and I am grateful for every lesson and pain that has made me who i am.
During that week, i had intense dreams about people I had not forgiven due to old grudges i was carrying. So every morning, upon waking up I would say a small prayer and let the grudge go. I was amazed at some of the people that popped up in my dreams, people whom i thought, I held no grudge with, but when examining how i had felt in the dreams, realized that on a deep subconscious level, I was still holding something against them.
By the end of that week, I felt so much lighter on my feet. I looked at myself in the mirror and began to feel love for myself, and the people in my dreams. I felt there were no dark cords connecting us anymore. I realized that by forgiving myself of old mistakes, I was allowing myself to open up for healing. Substituting darkness for light.
I share this to encourage you... to let go of the old grudges and thoughts that tie you to the people who are not a part of your journey anymore. Forgive them... you'll be doing it for youself.
