The Suffering Self

When there is no path to walk – no direction – no support and we find ourselves in limbo, know that your soul is demanding that you resolve or release something before you can move forward. We need to accept it is a part of life not a part of us. We are not our bad choices or even our fears. We are souls journeying in a world with so many different energies that we forget to be selective in our choices and we forget our own separateness embracing only our emotions and the judgement of ourselves and others.

Challenges are not happening because they are meant to, they are happening because we chose them. By judging ourselves or listening to the assumptions and judgments of others we wander off our own path and forget where we are up to. Then the energy rolls in to stop us and isolate us until we remove those judgments and emotional fears so that we can once again walk our own path and live life our own way.

Are you really broken, lost, defeated, or stupid, or is that just someone’s opinion, assumption or fear. – The Suffering Self, is the self not listening to its self!

Listen to your pain listen to your feelings honor them acknowledge them and then they will go away as simply as they arrived. You do not need to act on them, or use them as weapons just acknowledge them as a part of the journey and walk on.

To acknowledge something we need to say it out loud and listen to how it feels and sounds. When we truly listen we have a knowing that kicks in and we remember we are a soul having a human experience. Crying is the bodies’ way of processing emotion, not anger resentment or hatred; these are just the symptoms of the lack of acknowledgement of the things that cause pain.

Honor yourself, honor your journey, Say Ouch!

“Are you really broken, lost, defeated, or stupid, or is that just someone’s opinion, assumption or fear.” (I think that is the most comma’s I have ever put in one sentence!)
