One of the greatest sources of honest and true wisdom lives within the darker corners of your soul. Going to this place can be pretty scary at times, but if you actually spend some time there you can grow a whole lot faster than you could if you avoided it.
Why you may ask?
Because spending time in the places where your pain is holding allows you to finally start the process of releasing that pain despite how uncomfortable it may be.
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?
Meditation. If you dive into deep meditation and allow yourself to go to the harder places in your life, and actually spend some time sitting in those places, you will begin to feel and experience old pains but from a much healthier angle. You aren't actually in the moment itself but bringing your love and nourishment to something old that happened. As you continue to breathe through this, you learn how to sit in the tougher moments of life.
The skill that you are looking to develop here is to get close enough to the emotions of this dark place without becoming completely overwhelmed by them. When you can experience the moment without taking yourself out of commission you know that you are in the right spot.
Going into the shadows takes a whole lot of work and practice, but the journey in itself is worth it. It's worth it because if you do it right, you can start to feel painful events and the emotions that surround those events release from your life. You can start to heal. You can start to breathe again.
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.
