The Bonds of Trauma

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

The Bonds of Trauma

In the grip of trauma bonds, invisible chains bind us to people and experiences that inflict wounds on our emotional and psychological well-being. These bonds, forged in the fire of intense emotions, prove challenging to sever, yet their release is pivotal in reclaiming our sense of identity and purpose.

The path to healing begins by acknowledging repetitive patterns that sustain unhealthy relationships and situations. It requires a deliberate choice to distance oneself from these connections and circumstances.

Initiating the journey to break free from trauma bonds necessitates a profound commitment to self-awareness and self-care. This process entails gaining a deeper understanding of the fears and insecurities that perpetuate cycles of trauma and consciously addressing them to overcome their hold on us.

Through meditation, journaling, and therapy, individuals can gain the tools necessary to navigate the intricate tapestry of emotions and cultivate a profound understanding of themselves. By tending to the inner landscape, we can bolster resilience and empower ourselves to make choices that align with our well-being.

As we embark on healing, fostering an environment conducive to personal growth and prosperity is vital. Encompassing ourselves with supportive individuals, seeking professional assistance when needed, and partaking in activities that ignite joy and fulfillment can significantly contribute to the recovery process.

Overcoming the bonds forged by trauma is not a solitary endeavor. It is a journey that requires seeking and accepting assistance. By doing so, we demonstrate our strength and resilience. With patience and self-compassion, we can transcend the shadows of our past and embrace a future filled with hope, steadiness, and purpose.

Rage

Rage

In the absence of a healthy outlet, anger can transform into resentment, a potent emotion capable of causing significant inner turmoil and disrupting our emotional well-being

In our emotional repertoire, anger can serve as a valuable tool when directed toward positive change. While most people experience anger, some individuals encounter it more frequently. However, it is when anger lacks an outlet and transforms into resentment that it harbors the potential for significant emotional turmoil. Assigning blame for our pain can provide temporary relief, but it fosters resentment, which silently festers beneath our consciousness, eroding our peace of mind.

The individual at the center of our resentment becomes increasingly malicious in our perception, causing us to regret the initial encounter. However, it’s essential to recognize that resentment is merely a facet of our emotional spectrum and, as such, is subject to our conscious control. We possess the ability to release the grip of resentment and embark on a path forward, regardless of the magnitude of the triggering event.

Holding onto resentment in our hearts is detrimental to our well-being. While it may seem challenging, divesting ourselves of resentful feelings can be transformative. The process requires us to confront the source of our anger, both mentally and emotionally. By letting go of blame, we acknowledge that holding someone or something responsible for our feelings has ultimately caused harm to ourselves.

While believing we were managing our emotional wounds, we unknowingly clung tightly to them. To let go of resentment, we must redirect our focus inward, prioritizing our own needs, rather than dwelling on those who have caused hurt. A simple ceremony can aid in this process, providing a tangible outlet for expressing and releasing pent-up emotions.

To facilitate healing, consider journaling your emotions. Conclude your ceremony by burning the paper and extending heartfelt good wishes. Compassion within your heart is an indicator of progress toward emotional healing. By letting go of resentment, we gain a surplus of energy and attention to dedicate to our personal growth. The voids left behind can be filled with unconditional acceptance and joy. Once the walls of anger are torn down, the freedom from resentment allows blessings to re-enter our lives.

Healing Gift For Yourself

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Indulge in a day of self-care, a precious gift dedicated solely to your well-being and renewal.

Rephrased, reworded, and reorganized Deep within us lies the potential for self-healing. Our choices have a profound impact on our well-being, yet we often delegate responsibility for our health to external sources. While seeking guidance from healers can be valuable, we possess the innate ability to initiate our healing process.

Devoting a day to holistic wellness can provide a nurturing and comfortable environment for relaxation and rejuvenation. The key to self-healing lies in a genuine desire to embrace our physical and spiritual potential. This openness allows healing energy to flow freely within us, facilitating a profound sense of balance and well-being.

A successful healing day should cater to the fundamental needs of the entire self while channeling healing energy where it is most required. Solitude plays a crucial role in this process, as does the ability to seek sanctuary in a serene and aesthetically pleasing space. Commence your healing journey by setting the intention that this time is dedicated solely to your self-restoration. Elements such as flowers, candlelight, incense, and music can guide our attention toward a more tranquil state of mind.

To enhance your meditation experience, immerse yourself in music through headphones, as it can help you disconnect from distractions and connect more deeply with your inner self. It is our responsibility to determine what we need to do to promote well-being in our lives. For some, it could involve spending time reflecting on their lives. Others may engage in calming activities that remind them of their purpose, such as writing in a journal, spending time in nature, or engaging in spiritual practices. Our healing process may also involve using elements such as color, sound, or crystals to help us find balance and grounding.

Ultimately, your wholesome intentions transform what might otherwise be a simple day of rest into a day of healing. Grant yourself permission to relax and savor the stillness. If you attune yourself to the calm around you, worldly distractions will be minimized and the unadulterated flow of your consciousness will reestablish itself in the forefront of your mind. 

As you delve into this journey of healing, the needs of your body, heart, and soul will gradually be unveiled. This revelation will bestow upon you the ability to harness the potent healing energy of the universe. The method you employ to channel this energy will adapt to your evolving requirements, making each day of healing a distinctive experience. Nevertheless, every day will serve to replenish you, enabling you to transform yourself into a radiant embodiment of health and vitality.

**The Next Full Strawberry Moon in the Capricorn is this coming Friday, June, 21st, aligning with the summer solstice highlights a time for the manifestation of Goals. Lean into the ambition and determination of this Full Moon.

Avoid Negative Vibes!

Avoid Negative Vibes!

To make sure we don’t pick up bad vibes from others or tough spots, we can learn to block them out.

Sometimes, hanging out with certain people or groups of people can leave you feeling drained. It’s like having a friend who sucks up all your energy, or a coworker who always brings the bad vibes. And don’t even get me started on toxic or angry people—they’re like energy vampires! Even being in a crowd can sometimes zap my energy instead of giving me a boost.

It’s not uncommon for people to radiate energy and be affected by the energy of others. It’s like we’re all little magnets, attracting and repelling vibes. The thing is, it’s important to learn how to protect yourself from taking on someone else’s energy. Not everyone knows how to do this naturally, so it’s something we might need to learn and practice.

If you’re worried about other people’s energy affecting you, I have a cool trick for you. It’s called shielding, and it’s like wrapping yourself up in a cozy cocoon of protective energy. Just picture this: you’re in the center of this cocoon, all snug and safe. And the best part is, you don’t need any fancy tools or rituals. All you gotta do is set the intention to shield yourself, and boom, you’re protected. Oh, and if you want to make it extra awesome, you can even create a trigger word that instantly activates your shield. So, next time you feel someone’s energy getting a little too intense, just say your trigger word, and bam, you’re shielded and ready to face the world! I envision myself wearing a shield across my chest.

Every time you make a new shield, just say this word out loud until it and the shield become besties in your head. If you meet someone who leaves you feeling drained, you might want to give your energy field a little TLC afterward. Some ways to do that are burning sage, taking a cold shower, singing your heart out, taking a mineral water bath, spending some time in nature, or just taking a break to recharge.

Do you know how we all focus on keeping away from negative energy? Well, there’s a flip side to that. Some energies are worth embracing. Think about it—the giggles of a newborn baby, the glow of someone in love, or the peaceful aura of a wise teacher. These are the vibes you want to surround yourself with, right?

Give Your Anger Purpose

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

Transform Your Anger Into Light

If you’ve got anger that just won’t go away, you can let the earth take care of it. The earth can change it – into something else and give it a new purpose.

So, anger is a thing we all gotta deal with, right? And sometimes, it’s like a volcano ready to erupt. But hey, there’s a way to let that anger out in a healthy way – give it to Mother Earth! Yeah, I know it sounds kinda weird, huh? But imagine this: stand there, feet firmly planted on the ground, and feel the energy just flow right through you and into the earth below. It’s like a natural way to release that pent-up frustration.

When we get mad, our energy goes straight to the core of the Earth. It’s like it becomes part of the planet’s growth process. And guess what? It changes from negative to positive, from dark to light. That’s right! Trust me, it’s like our anger goes on a magical journey inside the Earth. So go ahead, release that anger to Mother Earth. She’ll take care of it and turn it into light. No need to feel guilty about it either. She’s got your back!

Here’s the thing: we can offer our energy from anywhere, whether you’re in a high-rise building or on a boat in the middle of the ocean. The earth is always there, supporting and providing for us. If you can get outside and touch some real, unpaved ground, that can help you connect with nature’s energy. And when you’ve let go of your anger, it’s easier to receive that positive, calming, healing energy that fills your body.

First, sit down and take some deep breaths. Then, ask Mother Earth to take your anger away. Imagine it flowing down your spine, out of your tailbone, and into the earth’s core. Finally, don’t forget to thank the earth for being so awesome and helping you out.

When we deal with our anger, we realize it’s like any other energy that can be used for good or bad. During your meditation, we may get some ideas on how to put this energy to the best use.

So, I’ve got this theory that the earth can help us clean up our messed-up energy and put it to good use. Like, when we do this with a thankful heart, we know we aren’t taking advantage of the earth for our selfish needs. Instead, we’re vibing with the energy of our home planet, and it’s this whole give-and-take thing where we take care of the earth, and it takes care of us. It’s a pretty cool cycle, right?

Let’s show our planet some love, just like it shows us every day!

I go to a local park and stand on this beautiful tree root – I let go of all my frustrations and anger, I have been practicing this for over a year.

Peace ♥ Harmony, Cheryl

Let’s Find Peace . . .

Posted on by Lifestyle-by-designs

This Memorial weekend I want to honor all lives lost this year either through past wars, current wars, or domestic wars. I want to honor ALL.

Let’s make sure we are communicating to our children that we will do our best to keep them safe. Do not lie to them, if they ask questions . . . answer them.

The silence from parents, guardians, and school officials cannot happen, it is seen by children that they did something wrong.

Hug the children in your life, laugh with them, talk silly when they talk silly . . . remember OUR CHILDREN pay the ultimate price when they begin their first footprints on this earth.

Let’s us all do the right and honorable things we can do for them to make sure those footprints carry on . . . .
