You Don't Need Permission to Heal

 

Not healing our core wounds leaves us leery, weary, and living off survival mechanisms that hold in emotional pain. 

We might wonder if our sensuality is dead or if sex will ever be enjoyable again. Will food be delectable and not create waves of guilt when we eat? Will play be fun?

We begin to feel like broken vessels, unable to give, receive or hold the most basic of life forces - Love.

You may be self-sabotaging your efforts to heal or allowing others to sabotage by seeking permission to heal from loved ones. Why? Resistance.

As we change our thinking or live a different lifestyle, our family and friends may feel threatened. However, most times, they are unaware of feeling threatened. Others may be aware of their shame and pain. They may recognize it through you, which wakes their discomfort and uncertainty. They may wonder if you will leave them or not love them as before. They may feel threatened you will outgrow them and discard them like broken pottery.

They resist your efforts, telling you they know what's best for you. They might give you reasons why your changes are necessary or try to help you; after all, they know you best. They'll convince you to stay as you are, that you are loved just for being you.

The thing is, healing core wounds doesn't change who you are. You don't need permission to heal core wounds or live as your higher self. This is you allowing yourself to become aware of the patterns keeping you disconnected and dis-regulated. It's you permitting yourself to change those patterns. Once the practices are changed, you begin to repair and reintegrate yourself with the Love you deserved.

Allow yourself the time and opportunity to explore what more your life holds for you. Just because something is broken doesn't mean you need to discard it. You heal the parts that need healed and fill them with Love.

Love you can share with others from the whole vessel that becomes YOU.

Growing with Love,
