~*~My Healing Journey~*
At first I didn’t realize what I had done and the magnitude of it all….it took a moment of reflection to see how far I have come in this long road of life….My life is so different from what it used to be….I used to dwell in the pits of my depression, thinking of ways to end my life every day, watching as life went by day in and day out with out positive change, and I sat there doing it all to myself and blaming everything around me, my past all of it was to blame….then one day with out knowing it I woke up inside, it took a moment of spiritual awareness to bring me to my senses….I am a new person, life is full of love…every day is a new chance, a fresh start and every day I grow stronger inside…I am more patient and loving with my children and my mate, and I no longer wish for my demise, now seek only to get rid of negativity inside me and all around me….peace and light is the only way….I really did clean out my temple….I wanted to share this with all of my friends because I think self development is the one most important thing any one being can strive for. I also wanted to share this as a way to reach out and share light and love to anyone who is in any mental/spiritual pain…..I know how it is, I have a dozen scars that show the darkness I came from….I am here, for anyone who may need a gentle, caring hand to help get out of the darkness…for truly light can take away your darkness and love can only heal your soul…..spread peace and light and love in all that you do…...
Thank you for taking a moment to visit me and read my words…....

Leah, I am so touched by your beautiful words. You are a survivor and have overcome some very difficult obstacles and adversity in your life. It is not important how we deal with what happens to us and you are a shining model of a wonderful spirit for out of darkness has reached the light. As Jung said, only through pain can we evolve to a higher level of consciousness. You have so much life to live and beautiful children who love you. You deserve every moment of joy and health that you have achieved through hard work.

I understand how hard depression and pain can be. I’ve been strggling with panic and anxiety for years and you are so right, we have to let go of our past and trust what is meant to be. It is how we become stronger and it makes us who we are. I still search for peace, I am so happy you have found it. you’re awesome! Renee:)

Oh my friend, you have no idea what inspiration your words have given me….I knew I joined redbubble for a reason…..you see I have an uncategorized brain tumor, it causes intense headaches daily, and could eventually cause me to go blind, and it has side effects that include stroke, deftness, ect…I truly feel for you…you had a beautiful wife whom you loved for so long, I could not even imagine your loss….but I can say that I am very glad to have known you, to have met you, you have a wisdom that many, so many should take the time to hear!There is such beauty in lifge, even in loss, there is beauty…..you are one of those souls who, even after a great intense and excruciating tragity came out alive, you live on every day, and that is beautiful!
Thank you so much for being my friend, life has it’s twist and turns, but a truly wonderful friend is there always…thank you for giving me that!
Peace Always my dear friend!

Ooh, my friend, you have brought tears to my eyes….you see my love is 10 years oler than I…he tells me so often that he could never lve with out me….and yet I feel so guilty to think for a moment that I look forward to an after life….though I am not religious, I think that the spirit that is will live on for, energy never dies, it only changes…your love, she apssed way before she was expected to, and I know that your heart still loves her so very much each passing moment, but I really believe that she waits, she waits to show you the beauty of all that is, she waits for that moment when your hands will once again meet, so she may show you beauty beyond this world…....my friend I feel so glad to have met you, your spirit is so beautiful because you know what love is, be ever so happy that your heart knows love, and in that you can heal 1,000 other wandering souls with the light of love!
Peace be with you this evening, and may you dream of happiness, I look forward to hearing more from you, my dear new friend….

I bet if your soul has awoken this way that you have healing abilities, even if you have not yet discovered them.
midnightdreamer replied
You are very receptive, I am very open to such possibilities, my Fiance says I have healing hands…..I should try tapping into that more often, but my daughter, she is amazing…she has a way to heal one especially emotionally, she is only 3 and I know she will blossom into something so very special….funny before she was born I choose her name, Amethyst Moon, and amethyst is a healing stone….
ToastedGhost
I discover I too can heal by accident my girlfriend brought home some books on alternative healing, since she was studying nursing. I decided I would prove that spirtual healing was a myth and discovered quite the opposite.
If you have an ability stand up hold both your arm up and away from your body. Out stetched. Then bring both hands together but very slowly. You will feel at some point a sensation. Repeat this until you are familiar with the sensation. This is your aura!
On a good day you will be conscious of how far away your hands are when you feel it, on a bad day our hands will be quite close. Try it

I have done aura feeling and seeing practices that have benefited me a lot…I think that the greatest healing I have done was with my kitten, I got her at 5 weeks and she was so small, she accidentally got a door slammed on her…it hit her in the neck and she went into immediate full body spasms, when she came out of it she was in shock, I thought I was going to loose her, I was beside myself, so I just held her and kissed her all night, she went into a labored breathing sleep, then I fell asleep constantly waking to check on her, she slept through the night, by morning I was so afraid she would be worse but I woke to her chewing on my fingers and playing with my hair, she was just fine with no sign of trauma what so ever, I was so happy, I cried even more tears! Ariel is just fine today, getting big and being a sassy queen of the castle : )

Heroic endeavors are not those we crawl through and come out the other end of a better person. They are the ones that while we are nearly suffocated amid them come to the realization that we alone are the means by which to ultimately breathe life back into ourselves and our perceptions.
Congratulations, we’ve been awaiting your arrival pretty lady.
