I just want to talk about the Dark Night of the Soul. People often consider this a lack of faith and turning away from God where you suffer. I feel this is not quite accurate as if it was, a lot of people in the world who do evil things would be suffering greatly right now.
I feel a more accurate description is going within to reassess life. Allowing life as you know it to crumble and allowing the loss to happen and to recreate the new. It feels painful, its not pretty and its certainly not something we want to experience. But we do it when our soul is ready to renew.
I personally have been through this experience several times. I have had a lot of past lives and lots of karma to clear! But each time I am in the middle of it, I cry, I get angry, I feel helpless. Then I surrender, I pray, I take bush flower essences, I get lots of healing from people I trust and I come out the other side. Usually what happens is I let go of a s**t load of limiting beliefs, people and circumstances. I find compassion and love and I experience a rebirth.
A lot of clients at the minute I have spoken to are going through the Dark Night of the Soul. Some really intense, some not so much, but still experiencing the symptoms of sadness, isolation and feeling abandoned.
My advice to you who are currently having a turn at this experience...self care. Swim, walk, exercise! Be in nature as much as possible. Be kind to yourself. If you feel depressed, in despair or despondent, just be aware that this will pass. Let yourself feel emotions...grief, anger, confusion. Really feel it in your body. Get Reiki or healing as needed. DO NOT put yourself down, isolate yourself all the time, or blame yourself. Do not believe the thoughts in your head that this is all there is and you will always feel like this.
Reach out to friends and people you love. Ask for help. For extreme situations, you can take saffron tablets, these act as a natural anti depressant. Or st John's wort. Or you can take anti depressant medication if this feels right for you. Please know you can get help.
I also highly recommend taking the Australian Bush Flower essences, Fringed violet and Angel sword and for extreme grief, Red Sauva Frangipani.
For those who are close to someone going through this. Protect your energy with gold light. Try not to shut down to this person as they are very vulnerable right now. Give love not solutions. Be there, listen, encourage them to get out in nature, to look after themselves. Know it wont last forever.
