Yes, it has been emotionally intense; yes, it feels as if several life times of processing has moved through you in recent weeks; yes, you have gained such deep insight into those emotional scripts and patterns that feel as if they extend back through time within your ancestral line; yes, it has felt like a roller-coaster.<\/p>\n

But, and there is a but, how deeply liberational it has felt; how profoundly insightful it has been; how openly in touch with what emotionally \u2018feeds\u2019 you have you become during this acutely medicinal time. Who you \u2018know\u2019 as being your family, has expanded; you\u2019ve been able to deftly navigate around those profoundly tight emotional bonds that have guided and informed your reactions; you have felt a presence, a calmness, a guiding \u2018force\u2019 envelope you, sustaining and fortifying you as you have dived into levels of your sOul, opening your heart further to intimacy with yourself and discarded that and those who you\u2019ve grown beyond. Yes, there have been dark moments; yes, you have felt guilt, anger and despair; yes, you have heard that devilish voice seduce and cajole you into familiar alcoves.<\/p>\n

But, and again there is a but, something else has moved through you, uplifting and guiding you beyond the tried and tested, into a comfortable, yet not familiar path. And it has felt good. You have felt good, even if the road is uneven. Call it perspective; call it insight; call it healing; call it growth. Whatever it is, it feels profound; it feels as if your sOul is truly lightening itself from the labours of your clan, the weariness of your isolation and the physical pain and suffering of being human. Whatever it is, it is freeing and uplifting. Whatever it is, its energy is deeply cathartic and profoundly expansive, opening you up to ways of being that can only result from having spent time healing, healing and healing some more. This \u2018presence\u2019 will be around for some time, so breathe in, release out and may this moment be the time through which you feel open, connected and free from that which has bound you, from which you create an emotional reality that fortifies and strengthens the strangle hold that lOve and jOy would lOve to have on you.<\/p>\n
