Going to the dark places in your life is scary. It is hard. It's exhausting. But despite all of that it's one of the most fruitful adventures you can attempt.
Why you may ask?
Because taking the time to acknowledge the painful events that have happened in your life is one of the only ways to truly start a process that your heart and soul has been requesting for a long time.
When you head into the depths of your soul with a kind heart and spend time working with the parts of your life that are not so pretty you show an incredible amount of compassion towards yourself.
How incredible would that be? How wonderful would it be to eventually heal the holes in your soul which have been eating at you whether you know it or not for years on end?
But how?
The best way to get to the shadows is to dive safely into a meditation with the intention of going to that place. Breathe. Relax. Naturally your thoughts and emotions will start to swirl around you when you go to the places that hurt. Let them. Watch them flow. Continue to breathe away.
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.
Honestly, it takes some significant practice and a dedication to work through the hard stuff. There's actually no telling you what will precisely happen when you continually do this exercise but the point is that major pains and concerns will release from you over a period of time. That in of itself is what makes the whole journey worthwhile.
The other benefit of this is to find your past unraveling itself from your life right now.
So try it out and see how this works for you. Wouldn't it be worth a shot if you knew it could help you heal?
