Self-care Friday. Healing is often a spiral rather than a straight line. When you are triggered, your nervous system responds to an old, stored feeling. The reaction may feel intense because you are essentially experiencing the hurt all over again. Perhaps even deeper.
If I have been feeling the need to cry this week because a wound I thought I had healed got triggered, there must be at least someone else who may be going through something similar.
May you find ways to navigate through this phase. 🙏
Light a candle and place a bowl of water in front of it. Take a deep breath, and write on a piece of paper all that you want to forgive or be forgiven for, allow emotions to rise. Be kind to yourself and read them out loud as you offer them to the water to be released.
Ask water to carry away to grief, the shame, the sadness and ask Freyja for her gentle blessing.
Then close your eyes and connect to the part of you that needs love and say out loud kind words to yourself, giving yourself the support you need.
