293. Healing is hard work

by Leave a Comment

Healing deep wounds is hard work.

It breaks patterns. Takes us into the unfamiliar. Challenges beliefs that may have been embedded generations ago.

Muscles tense up. Breath is held. Fetal position feels automatic.

Tears fall. Our bodies shake. Voices wail.

There is a release.

Deep breaths are taken. Tension dissipates. Laughter may appear.

And when the body and mind settle, there is peace.
