Spending times in the dark and murky places of your life is scary, painful, and troubling. On the other hand, it's something that is incredibly necessary if you want to start the process of healing yourself.
But why?
Because going into the shadows lets you heal deep-seeded pain, experiences and events you truly haven't come to terms with yet and emotions you've had tendency to avoid.
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 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?
The quickest way to get to the darkest shadows of your life is to enter into a state of meditation. Allow yourself to go back to the deepest and darkest places you can go to at that time, and sit in those places. Relive those moments and watch the emotions of your life swirl around you. Continue to breathe. Continue to stay in the moment as much as you can.
The major skill that you are looking to cultivate here is being able to live in this place - the shadows - and get close enough to the emotions that surround the event without letting them complete overtake your mind. When you can get close enough without being overwhelmed, you know 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?
