As we continue to live and adjust during this pandemic, we are learning more about ourselves and others. Covid has been called “The Great Awakener” because we have been forced to slow down and have gained a better understanding of what really matters in life. When we begin to have a deeper understanding of ourselves and our priorities, we can begin to heal and find purpose.
CHOOSING LOVE OVER FEAR
We are all here for a reason. What if our job at this time of great change in the world is to “wake up”? During this great awakening, awaken to the pieces in yourself that are out of balance – the parts that need love and healing, remembering and reconnection. There are a lot of scary external things going on in the world that are out of our control, so we have to turn inward to love and care for ourselves so we can heal and support others.
HEALING THE WOUNDS OF OUR CHILD CONSCIOUSNESS
As we self-reflect and turn inwards, we become more aware of the parts of us that need healing, and it’s often that inner child that lives in all of us. Whether you suffered from trauma, neglect, or lack of nourishment – no matter how small or extreme – it stays with us into adulthood. If they were painful experiences, we try to block it out, which prevents that part of us from healing. As we work to heal that inner child, we bridge the gap between the child and our positive adult self. We can begin to heal the whole self, past and present, and support others on their paths of healing.
“PEOPLE BECOME PEOPLE THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE”
We aren’t meant to awaken and heal on our own. Although inner work and healing is personal, we need the support of other people. It’s OK to need others and ask for help. Adults, especially those who have experienced trauma, neglect, or lack of parental support during early childhood, have a tendency to push through life with an overcompensated sense of self-sufficiency. But we aren’t meant to go it alone. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We need the connection with and support of others as guides on our path of healing and awakening.
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
Why are we here? The awakening and healing process allows us to remember our gifts. What have we come here to do? How can we use our gifts to be of service to others on their own paths of awakening? Rather than focusing on productivity, getting work done, or checking off items on our “to-do” lists, we can spend this time healing ourselves with the support of others, and acting as a guide to support others. Who are your people? Reconnect with yourself and others so we can collectively heal. Perhaps that is our purpose during this time.
No one can do this work on their own – we need the presence of another person to accompany us on that journey inward to be supported or challenged. If you need support during this process of awakening and internal healing, I’m here for you. Contact me online or email me at [email protected].
