Heading into the hurtful and painful parts of your past is pretty nerve-wracking. It's a tough place to spend time. In fact, most of us just avoid this place altogether. Despite that, it's one of the greatest sources of true wisdom.
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.
How amazing would it be to finally start living the life outside of pain that you've always wanted to live? How would it feel to be released from all of that pain?
But how do you do this?
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 major ability that you need to develop when you go to this place is getting near enough to these events and emotions so you can actually feel them though not getting so close that you become completely engulfed by them.
But this practice takes a lot of time to really get good at. It takes some hard work. It's not easy heading into the shadows because it's a painful place where a lot of emotion is stored. But if you take this journey you will truly begin a healing process that will allow pains to release themselves from you over time.
The secondary benefit is that you get to unravel your past which allows you to come back into the present moment.
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?
