How Does Healing on Any Level Begin in the Heart, Soul, and Mind?
Healing of the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual all begin in the heart, soul, and mind.
I know nobody who’s lived a perfect, pristine, unbroken life.
Everyone I’ve ever encountered has been hurt on every possible level. They’ve suffered physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual pain to lesser and greater degrees.
Many have experienced full-on, life-altering trauma. Though it may have changed them, they emerged on the other side — still here, but damaged.
I’ve been broken on all of these levels, too. And like everyone else, I got to choose what to do next.
Because when you’re injured — on any of these 4 levels of health, wellness, and wellbeing — you have a choice. You can let the pain and suffering define you, blow it off and pretend it never happened, avoid all future triggers of the memory of the pain and suffering — or choose to release it how you can and move forward.
In the instance of certain traumatic experiences, it will feel as if all you are is suffering. This statement, as such, is going to look unfair — but you have a choice. It might not present itself immediately — but it’s still yours to make.
