Sometimes feelings, memories and emotions rise to the surface from a place deep within me. Sometimes, a long ago forgotten event or person and unexpected sadness or even grief well up and I wonder why. I believe that when the time is right and we are ready for it, like champagne bubbles popping to the surface, these are for release.
I have found that I cannot heal completely within myself unless these find their way into my conscious mind. I have learned to recognize this and now even embrace it. Before I would resist and wail about having to deal with it again, but now I see it as a blessing. It's a time for opening up and releasing to free myself in order to move forward more completely.
I have felt at times that a thin invisible thread has kept me linked back to some past moment which has held me back without me knowing it. Then it comes up and I understand that there was still some emotion within my cellular memory. I don't fight it anymore. I examine it and I release it.
It has to be revealed to be healed.
That is freedom.
Maybe this is what is happening to you too? Be kind to yourself and trust the process.
