Human Speaks
Ive been waiting for a shadow to surface all week. I can feel it bubbling out of my cells, accumulating in some kind of holding pen. Gray and black pressure, hidden pain. A previous version of myself may have responded to this sensation with sadness or angst. "Why do I feel this way? What has gone wrong in order for this feeling to occur?". My mind would respond to these questions, noisily searching for a solution to this "problem", cycling through all of our known "emotional and vibratory frequency management tools".
Now, though, I feel a bit of excitement in anticipation of meeting this shadow. Every wound I uncover can be healed for the good of all. Every bit of pain I process has tremendous value - not only to my own Self but to all of humanity. Each bit of darkness, of shame, of shadow obscured from the light, is a part of who We Are, dictating our experience of life and determining the contribution we each make. Most of the time we can't see our shadows, because they are buried deep within our subconscious minds. Imprinted programs from childhood play out behind the scenes, influencing our thoughts and emotions, creating our experience. These programs are made visible through "triggers" or, emotional responses to people or situations which seem out of proportion to that which is occurring now.
Getting triggered can be a very uncomfortable experience indeed. Not only is it a shock to suddenly re-experience the original wound, but we usually carry judgements around our pain as well, which cause further suffering.
Not only am I feeling the pain of the wound itself, I create additional pain and stress in my body by feeling ashamed or embarrassed about my pain, or about my behavior surrounding the pain!
Becoming triggered presents an opportunity to heal a wound which subconsciously affects your entire life, and also to practice the radical acceptance necessary to ascend into the Kingdom of Heaven. One of the most valuable services we can provide to others then, is to hold a space of unconditional love for pain to flow into. Pain is resistance. It is that which has been suppressed, that which has not been welcomed into God's Kingdom. And since everything is God, it is no wonder this denial causes a disturbance in the Universe!
Soul Speaks - Closing Prayer
Let us have courage. Let us witness each other fully, until all darkness has been brought into the light. One of my soul sisters said recently "We are Here to Walk Each Other Home". These beautiful words carry so much meaning. Yes, we are all reminding each other of Who We Are. Whether you are in my life to trigger my unhealed wounds, to witness All That I Am, or to hold my hand and walk by my side in beauty, I Honor You. I Honor Your presence, Your Being-ness, the part you play in this intricate Cosmic Dance. I see you, I feel you, I am you. Thank You For This Opportunity To Serve.
