In our internal pain, we often seek from others the elixir that we really need from ourselves. Other times we consciously or unconsciously lash out against others and hurt them, in an attempt to ease our own suffering. It is in beginning within that we can identify what is lacking so that we may give that missing love to ourselves.
Supportive modalities can include:
Meditation
Prayer
Laughter
EFT Tapping
Surrendering into the feelings – our emotions cannot kill us, blocking them can cause dis-ease
Journaling
Counseling or Life-Coaching
Breath works
Salt baths
More prayer
Daily devotions
Exercise – especially stretching such as with Yoga
When we seek outside of ourselves to fill the void, we miss the mark. It is truly when we allow ourselves to surrender into the emotions, or ask our Higher Selves to step in, again, through surrender, that we can rise above the pain and begin to feel love and open again. The love is already there, we just need to unlock it from behind the pain.
Hurt people hurt others. It is imperative that we each learn how to heal ourselves. Otherwise, we continue to perpetuate the cycle of victim-perpetrator. These are two sides of the same coin.
May we each unblock a new level of peace within; this is where healing the planet begins.
“Hurt people hurt others.” I often wonder about myself, who’s been abused for a lifetime, how I transfer that into my world without realizing it. I don’t want to hurt others and hope for the most part that I don’t. Thank you for sharing this.
I’m sorry for your hurt. In my experience: sometimes we turn that hurt onto ourselves. Sometimes it comes out in passive aggressive ways, such as being “short” with other people who serve us, or aggressive driving, etc. awareness is key.
Aww, your message and you are so beautiful. Live more, laugh more and love more, yes that’s what we all need to do but how often we forget. Thank you for this beautiful reminder my friend. xx
