Bringing the light to the dark

As the longest day comes and goes, we are reminded that balance and harmony reside in the acceptance of both light and dark. High and low vibrations. Positive and negative emotions.

Perhaps it makes it easier to step towards healing your wounds when another person can look you in the eye and say, I’ve been to the darkness, darling, I know how fearful, lonely and full of rage the depths are. But. I survived them. I befriended them. You can too and I walk with you on this journey.

I don’t run from the darkness. I light a candle. I hold the space. I cry into my hands and move through it. Collapse on the floor but then pull myself up again.

I try to remember that no matter how enthralling the author or how impressive the qualifications of this therapist or that psychologist. No matter how renowned this philosopher is or the staggering following of that prophet. I need to decide what works for me.

It all works; that’s the truth. The path to peace and love is mine to walk as I see fit.

Your experience. Your truth. Your healing. Your relationship with love and light. That is something no-one can take away.
Never push down what you are feeling. Be supportive always of what your emotions reveal, analyse them if necessary, focus on the feeling not the trigger, intuit what you need to heal, write them down and put them in the fire if you have no other action. But act. Let it come out.
Don’t push it down my darlings ... don’t push it down.
