#ReclaimingMyPower

[soulofearth]

Fear is my friend. Fear wants to protect me. It wants to keep me safe. Today I am living in a place which is mostly safe when it comes to surviving. There are no deadly animals or great dangers. So fear, when you come and knock my door next time, I'll say: "Hey friend, nice that you're coming over again. I see you and I feel you. But now it is time for me to move on without you as my life is waiting for me to be created by me. Nobody else is going to do it for me so I am stepping into my power of being the creator of my own reality. Thanks for gifting me so many lessons and please leave my house now. I love you"

Navigating the Shadows: Spiritual Guidance for Healing from Psychological Abuse

Introduction

Psychological abuse inflicts deep wounds on the soul, often leaving scars that are not visible to the naked eye. Navigating the aftermath of such trauma requires profound inner strength and spiritual wisdom. In this article, we will explore compassionate and spiritually-rooted advice to support your healing journey from psychological abuse.

I. Acknowledge the Truth and Seek Safety

The first step towards healing is acknowledging that you have endured psychological abuse. Recognize the truth of your experiences, and if possible, seek a safe and supportive environment where you can begin your healing journey.

II. Embrace Radical Self-Compassion

Offer yourself the same level of compassion that you would extend to a dear friend in pain. Understand that you are not to blame for the abuse you endured. Treat yourself with the tenderness and care that your soul deserves.

III. Cultivate Inner Strength through Self-Affirmation

Engage in daily affirmations that affirm your worth, strength, and resilience. Remind yourself that you are a survivor, and your spirit is unbreakable. These affirmations become beacons of light in moments of darkness.

IV. Seek Professional Support and Guidance

Therapy and counseling can be invaluable resources in your healing journey. A skilled therapist can provide tools, insights, and a safe space for you to process your experiences and regain a sense of self.

V. Establish Boundaries and Prioritize Self-Care

Setting and maintaining boundaries is crucial for your emotional well-being. Prioritize self-care practices that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. This may include activities like meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature.

VI. Engage in Creative Expression

Art, music, writing, and other forms of creative expression can serve as powerful outlets for processing and releasing emotions. Allow your creativity to flow freely, giving voice to the emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally.

VII. Connect with a Supportive Community

Seek out communities or support groups where you can share your experiences with others who have walked similar paths. Finding solidarity with those who understand your journey can be incredibly validating and healing.

VIII. Practice Forgiveness as a Path to Liberation

Forgiveness is not about excusing or condoning the actions of the abuser. It is about releasing the emotional hold that the abuse has on your spirit. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, allowing you to reclaim your power and move forward.

IX. Engage in Mindfulness and Grounding Practices

Cultivate a practice of mindfulness to anchor yourself in the present moment. Grounding techniques, such as deep breathing or visualization, can help you find stability in times of emotional turmoil.

X. Cultivate a Sense of Empowerment

Reclaim your sense of agency and autonomy. Engage in activities that make you feel strong, capable, and empowered. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small they may seem.

Conclusion

Healing from psychological abuse is a courageous and transformative journey. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Remember, you are not alone on this path, and there is support and love available to you. As you navigate the shadows, may you find strength, solace, and the radiant light of your own inner spirit.

I forgive myself.

These past few months have been nothing short of an experience. As I look back over how far I have come I Have To Give Myself A Pat On The Back. I Deserve This Change. I Am Worthy Of The New Life That Lies Before Me. Everything That Has Happened In My Life Was To Prepare Me For This Moment. I’m Ready. It’s Already Done.

Not all boundaries have to do with telling people “no”, directly. Some of them have to do with how we take care of ourselves. Turning in at a decent hour (which I am NOT doing right now) and giving myself time for prayer and meditation in the morning and not answering any emails phone calls/texts before or after certain times are some boundaries I practice. Our burnout serves no one. So I shifted some things. Nothing falls apart if we aren’t available 24/7. That’s one of the big fears, yes? #ReclaimingMyPower #Unraveled

Miriam Webster defines the following word as.. Home /hōm/ (noun) the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. That simple four letter word, has a completely different definition for me. I had lived in my parents ranch in Centereach, NY on a small road leading to nowhere for 19 years of my life. It’s the house I was brought to as a newborn and that I had said some very unfinished goodbyes to last June. That house, although cozy and familiar, has never been, nor will it ever be, a home to me. Even as a kid, it felt like my parents house, not mine. The only place that was “mine” was my bedroom... if only those walls could talk. In that small bedroom I spent time as a child isolating myself, playing alone, fantasizing for hours. I had cried in that room when I was bullied in elementary school, I’d sit up late at night reading “Because of Winn Dixie” and practicing sign language. At 12 years old I sat on the edge of my bed and cut myself for the first time, I had laughed with friends and done crafts on the floor. I had spent hours in the mirror criticizing my appearance, doing sit ups on the floor until I couldn’t move anymore, I had snorted lines of lethal drugs on my dresser. I had my first kiss in that room, I have had sex in that room. I have written my heart and soul in journal entry’s that still reside under my bed. That room is so torn between a sanctuary and a prison... but it’s the only home I know. And when I cry at night without those walls to see my tears, I wonder what Home is... and get this overwhelming hollow feeling in my chest because the place I long for is a place that does not exist. This song, I actually heard for the first time when I was 14 and on my way back to my house from the mental hospital. I remember saying all the time, all I want is to be home. With my brother and parents. My dad even wrote it down one day, just the word “Home” and said to make it my goal. It doesn’t make much sense to me how such a familiar place can be so strange. Home for me is not a house. Because I have learned from experience you can paint the fucking walls and re arrange the furniture, or say “fuck it” and get on a plane to a place you think you’ll be happy, but Home is not a place. It’s a feeling of safety and comfort I need to find in myself. I need to dig up that pain that those walls have seen, and forgive MYSELF for the things I’ve put myself through. If the saying “Home is where the heart is” has any truth to it, my heart is inside me, and the hollow feeling doesn’t come from a structure built in the 60s on a pot hole filled road. -a final goodbye to the small house on Fiesta Drive, thank you for keeping my secrets, and for giving me shelter, but you will never be my home-

Making peace with my body was my catalyst for changing my world. It gave me the power to stand up and stand out. Standing in your power is about owning your story, sharing and telling your truth. #reclaimingmytine #reclaimingmypower #makepeacewithyourbody #reclaimingmyspace
