The magic comes from the heart.
Life often throws us curveballs from childhood to adulthood. Some and lots of those curveballs create inner pain, suffering, and sorrow in our lives, especially when we carry this from childhood, which I did.
This pain, suffering, and sorrow leave a bad imprint on our hearts. The heart centre is where we feel the most. With time, we close off our hearts because it can no longer support additional traumas. We built walls so high around it—I know I had. We automatically refuse to let go of what has happened to us, so we create other feelings and emotions such as resentment, not trusting others, and often judging ourselves and others. We create blockages to not let anyone in. We even create a sour taste of bitterness because our pain and suffering are so profound. I know I did.
Our heart is large enough to carry a big load of past memories, trauma, obstacles, and challenges, but honestly, it can endure only so much before we close ourselves off from reality and from healing, as it is too painful and unfair, and we oftentimes reside with a sense of blame, shame, and vengeance inside our heart centre.
When, we totally shut off our hearts for a very long period of time to preserve and protect it, like I did, it is extremely hard to open it up again.
And, when you do decide to open your heart, well, the truth is, you’ve got to face your own inner truth and demons.
Lots of old memories, tragedies, obstacles, or past challenges will resurface. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, but lots will resurface, especially if it hasn’t been dealt with and healed in a very long time, like I had.
You can shut down and close off your heart to avoid this, as I have done for many, many years, but the reality is that once you decide to reopen it, you have to face the unavoidable.
It takes courage, strength, willpower, and lots of faith to empty the old baggage the heart has carried forward that has been unresolved for the longest, but it is doable, feasible, and very rewarding to do so.
My piece of advice is to heal as you go. Don’t ever shut your heart off to protect yourself. Deal with the pain, suffering, or sorrow you feel right away. Don’t let it build up as I did because there is a price to pay, and unfortunately, it is not the one who has hurt your heart that pays that price—it’s you.
You simply deny yourself to be free of your past to feel liberated and whole again. You deny yourself the ability to love yourself, others, and the world in general. You become sceptical of everyone, and your judgement is blurry because your heart is closed off.
Release the pain and suffering. Let go of what was; forgive yourself and others. Acknowledge the life lesson behind it and accept that you can’t change it; simply accept and forgive it. That is how you heal your heart centre.
Every time you go within and see the cause and effect of a painful, hurtful, or unacceptable situation, you have the ability to face and heal those wounds and that storyline. Afterwards, you can be free to experience a new, healthier storyline.
Mindset is everything, especially when you’ve come to terms with your past disappointments, huddles, traumas, and tragedies. Once the healing is done and the heart centre is healed and rebalanced, a positive mindset will cause an effect to generate a new start, a new happier storyline for yourself. Then, you are now the master of your own destiny. Only then, the past no longer has a grip or control over you.
The magic resides healing from the heart centre.
As a lifecoach, I had a need to share my life experiences and inspire others on their healing journey.
If I can help one soul avoid the mistake I've done then I'm happy to post my story and experiences.
I'm always available to help others on their journey to self empowerment.
