Head On Over To The Dark Side For A Bit

By Evan Sanders


One of the greatest sources of wisdom lives within the darker parts of your life. If you spend some time diving into the darkness within you, you can learn more than you ever could in just avoiding it altogether.

Why?

Because spending time in the places where your pain is holding allows you to finally start the process of releasing that pain despite how uncomfortable it may be.

We are all wounded in some way. But bringing compassion and love to yourself gives you the chance to understand that we are all far greater than the wounds we carry. This perspective is priceless.

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a life that is full of healing instead of one where you are constantly running from all of the pain you have ever felt?

But how?

Begin a meditation practice. Not anything fancy, but one where you are really focusing on your breath. Over time, start diving farther and farther into those hard moments and bring a sense of love and compassion to them. Hold the wound. Heal it. Give it the nourishment it needs.

Over time, you are looking to get close enough to these dark places without actually getting completely overwhelmed by the emotions they bring up. When you can start to go back to these places without actually taking yourself out of the game completely, you can truly begin the healing process.

Going into the shadows takes a whole lot of work and practice, but the journey in itself is worth it. It's worth it because if you do it right, you can start to feel painful events and the emotions that surround those events release from your life. You can start to heal. You can start to breathe again.

Also, you can fully unravel yourself from the past and get back into contact with the only moment you have - the present one.

So take a dive into doing this type of work and see if it works for you! It could be something that leads to huge amounts of healing.
