Turn off the TV and get off the Internet. Sit quietly and
listen. The answers are there. Your heart and soul know exactly what you need
to heal. Don’t fight what you’re feeling – you are feeling it for a reason. Are
you angry? Are you afraid? Are you feeling crazy? Why? Ask and then listen –
YOU will tell you. Stop listening to everyone else. Others may have good advice
and guidance but they will never, ever, ever know you better than you do.
Listen through the anger and the fear and the turmoil. Listen
until you hear it – the sound of your own heartbeat, the sound of your own
rhythm, the sound of your own life. Listen until you hear the sound of your own
voice speaking to you – and believe what it says. If there’s a person, place or
thing that causes you pain, anger, fear or just plain old feels shitty then
that’s your soul telling you to get away from that person, place or thing. Walk
away. The time may or may not come for that person, place or thing to re-enter
your life – but only when it brings you joy, peace and alignment. It really is
that simple. If your soul tells you something, LISTEN.
If it tells you that you've been abused, then you have. If it
then tells you to walk away from that abuse and forgive – then do it. If it
tells you some hard work and digging is required first then dig and put in the
work. If it tells you that you have done enough work and it’s time to let go,
then it’s time to let go. If it tells you to get professional help then do it.
If it tells you that you are not getting the right help then keep looking until
it tells you that you have found the correct method of healing.
You are always feeling what you’re feeling for a reason –
even though it oftentimes may not be the reason you thought. Listen and you
will know. You are your own healer. Your soul knows exactly what it needs to
heal the same way that your body does.
When you break a bone you don’t sit there lamenting that it
will never get better – you don’t throw yourself on the train tracks because
you no longer have a whole bone. You curse and cry because it hurts like hell and
then you do what needs to be done. You get to a doctor, you set the bone, you
give it the support in needs and trust that in time and with proper care, your
body will do exactly what it needs to do to heal the bone and life will go on. You
don’t need to know how the bone is healed, you just need to trust in your body’s
innate ability to heal it.
It is the same with your soul. When your soul gets cracked,
fractured, broken in two or shattered in a million pieces it really does know
what it needs to heal. Listen to it! Set your soul-bone – get it back in its
proper place (yes, it will tell you where and what that is too), give it all
the support it needs, take pressure off of it, take time to breathe and sleep
and nourish yourself and YOU WILL HEAL. You will need big things and you will
need small things and your soul will guide you and tell you what those things
are.
You know the voice of your best friend, you know the voice
of your spouse and your children. You know the voice of your favorite singer or
movie star but do you know the voice of your own soul? If not, be quiet and
listen. You will hear it – and it will be the most sublime sound you've ever
heard. I promise.
