Energy Healing

Yesterday I went to an energy healing session; it was a combination of acupuncture, tapping, releasing, and removing energy blocks.

It was the first time I think I really unpacked all my traumas (well, started to anyway). Prior to this, I had thought that I was healing and dealing with things well. But this unpacked a whole other layer; it reminded me of things I had buried deep in my memory, which then buries deep in your body.

So many things came up that I had forgotten about. There were the really obvious ones that stuck out, but the more she tapped, the more she spoke, the more I remembered and released. I think the most important part of the healing journey is becoming aware. Aware of the root cause, aware of how you feel, aware of your repeated actions, habits, and behaviours.

To truly heal, you must have a genuine desire to do so, and in order to heal, you must permit yourself to experience your emotions.

I felt a little tired after and had some bouts of dizziness. Needed lots of water. Felt anxious.

The healing journey is one I have been on for the last five years. I have made so much progress; I have created a happy, peaceful home for myself and my children.

Healing comes in stages though; it is like peeling back the layers of an onion. You must be kind to yourself, you have to be patient with yourself, and you have to be willing to let go of all you have been carrying around that no longer serves you.

For some people, I think that is the hardest part. The trauma you know becomes your identity, and you don’t know how to live without it anymore.

It becomes your reason in every interaction or conversation; it is your crutch, your excuse for continuing bad patterns or behaviours. The victim mentality becomes your comfort zone.

I reached a stage where I refused to let this be my narrative anymore because I was tired of my own complaints. I decided it was time to release the burden of my past; I refuse to bring that weight into my future.

I had also attempted (in a typical trauma response) to handle it on my own for a long time and realized I couldn't. It's important to ask for help, allow yourself to receive it, and find a community that will not only support you but also help you rise.

Until next time,

Much love,
