Healing thoughts

spontaneous observations about a self-discovery journey

Healing is an infinte loop (Loo'n) drawing by Nour elhouda souissi

In the last article, we talked about consciousness and how it’s one of the foundations of self-healing and self-love.

(Reminding you; this is a text describing a journey written by a curious young adult, diving through the waves of cognitive behavioral approach, spirituality, and Interpersonal known as therapy method.)

Through this journey of questioning, updating, experiencing, and learning about my beliefs, and my expectations around this concept I realized three main ideas:

- Firstly, healing is a self-discovery, sitting with what you were running from, what triggers you what makes you the way you are, and evolving with it.

To explain even further you may not be able to erase what you already have and paint again when you see it like this, even erasing leaves a mark on what you already started to draw; To clarify more you already have a base to evolve with, to discuss, to sit and to accept.

So accepting what you have already, surrendering to the way you already are, strengthening the core values you already have, and letting go of what disturbs your way through evolving.

Obviously, “ the pain of self-abandonment is the worst pain of all”

The Joy of True Meditation: Words Of Encouragement For Tired Minds And Wild Hearts, written by JEFF FOSTER

In other words, anticipating that healing is another way to abandon yourself again isn't going to lead to Tangible results.

Healing is necessarily an evolution and requires cooking with ingredients you have, not an imagination of "Oh I wish I had that, I had that kind of environment that kind of mother, father, family..."

Observing, what can be effective and what can help through this pain what your adult self can do, and of course it will help to leave space in your heart to receive whatever comes your way, with awareness and openness.

Secondly, healing isn’t a way to run away from what you already have.

Maybe it is easier for us to neglect one part and focus on another than to neglect the feeling part and focus on a loop of questions and readings related to emotions.

Maybe it is easier to go with the flow of the " healing Trend"...

Fortunately, healing is not a trend, it's heavy work, challenging, dark, hopeful, and impressive, it has it all, it's a journey it's a life.

“If you fear specific things you’ll be very gradually exposed to them until the fear is gone”

The Highly Sensitive Person, a book written by Elain Aron

according to the goal of this approach that the author mentioned, healing means that “everything is meant to be practical; rational, and clear .“

Added to that nothing wrong with cultivating awareness about the sensual aspect of your life, what can be a challenge, absorbing the moment introducing your brain to another way of listening to your voice, to your sensation.

You can learn about a lot of things about your emotional life but that doesn’t mean essentially that you are healing, progressing, or in an inner journey of self-discovery ; it means you are just learning.

The lesson is to listen.

Thirdly healing doesn’t require your loved ones to pursue your path you are not right, not even them just a way of living you chose to live by.

Obviously, on the way you will meet the community that can help you grow.

That doesn’t mean neglecting or loving your family less, maybe, it means that...

Since, the concept of love will have to change to be upgraded, otherwise, isn’t that an evolution?

So evolution doesn’t necessarily mean healing instead healing is necessarily an evolution.

It starts differently for every person.

And mainly it starts from the bottom of the cave, it’s dark, it’s unbearable unbelievable and you go through it, YOU Do.
