Head On Over To The Dark Side For A Bit

By Evan Sanders


Heading into the hurtful and painful parts of your past is pretty nerve-wracking. It's a tough place to spend time. In fact, most of us just avoid this place altogether. Despite that, it's one of the greatest sources of true wisdom.

Why you may ask?

When you start taking the time to nourish old wounds, you finally begin a healing process that has been waiting for you for such a long time.

Bringing a sense of compassion and love to yourself will help you understand who you truly are and also give you the perspective that you are far greater than the wounds you carry.

How amazing would it be to finally start living the life outside of pain that you've always wanted to live? How would it feel to be released from all of that pain?

But how do you really put this into action?

The quickest way to get to the darkest shadows of your life is to enter into a state of meditation. Allow yourself to go back to the deepest and darkest places you can go to at that time, and sit in those places. Relive those moments and watch the emotions of your life swirl around you. Continue to breathe. Continue to stay in the moment as much as you can.

The skill that you are looking to develop here is to get close enough to the emotions of this dark place without becoming completely overwhelmed by them. When you can experience the moment without taking yourself out of commission you know that you are in the right spot.

Most people in this world simple run from their problems. However, if you continue takings this journey over and over again, you will learn that you don't have to actually avoid anything to truly not experience it anymore. In fact, you learn that by experiencing something, you actually give yourself the chance to fully heal from it.

Further, you can unravel yourself from the shackles of your past and come fully back in contact with the present moment.

So try it out and see how this works for you. Wouldn't it be worth a shot if you knew it could help you heal?
