From a young age, you most likely were taught to resist things that don’t feel good. If you haven’t worked through past trauma, you might recreate and repeat the trauma. If this is the case, your energy isn’t flowing to serve you for the best life you can be living. If there is trauma below the surface, hiding below, most of your energy gets used to keep it suppressed or hidden. Early on, you might have been told to ‘stop crying,’ ‘be quiet,’ or even ‘shut up!’ but what really happens is the energy gets locked and stuck in the body. The walls go up. You can feel drained, tired, exhausted, beat up, bruised and battered. Dis-ease sets in and causes disease. Cancers get stored in the body. This can lead to using pain meds to mask the source of energy block or eating too much food or taking in other toxins like lots of caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. All in an attempt to hide the toxic emotion. This energy block is at the core of most addictions.
You have the power inside of you to defeat what’s been holding you down. There’s nothing you need to defend. You know the truth inside of you and you sense that revenge or getting someone back isn’t the answer to keep calm or get inner peace. It doesn’t matter how flattened you’ve been. You can rise up once again. Yes, you’ve been squashed, squeezed, and pressed? Sure, you feel mangled, pounded, smashed, and shattered. How couldn’t you?! Trust that you can collect your puzzle pieces and make a new and better future. And if you keep the faith, it’ll come easier than you think.
