The Key To Healing Is In The Suffering: 3 Steps To Let Go & Embrace Your Power

"The key to healing is in the suffering"

My desire to help others was my own cry for help!

Over the years I've found I had a deep-seated passion to assist others in overcoming the very challenges that I, myself, was grappling with.

When viewing the world as a mirror reflecting our inner landscape, my true aspiration was to resolve these issues within my own life.

Whilst my intentions were pure, I was sharing insights from my own pain and struggles without having fully navigated through them. I was feeling a disconnect, a sense of being out of alignment and my inner voice questioned,

"Who am I to guide others when I'm still working it out myself?"

I used my tools to release the voice of self-doubt. Despite my efforts, something still felt amiss. I was in the midst of my own healing journey, encountering emotions, inner conflicts and doubts that were screaming out to be heard and acknowledged.

Truthfully, I wasn't listening, I kept pushing them down. Paradoxically, the more I ignored them, the stronger my desire to help others struggling with the same issue became.

Then I came across the profound phrase, 'Speak From the Scar, Not the Wound' and it clicked. This simple phrase resonated deeply. Instead of projecting my unresolved issues onto others, I made the conscious decision to focus on my own healing.

I delved deep into the very areas I was eager to guide others through; here's what I learnt.

#1: Fall in love with the process

I've experienced some profound shifts - some still unfolding and others unequivocally healed. It's only a matter of time before the wounds transform into scars.

Thinking there will only ever be one wound to heal would be naïve of me, and it would mean that there's no more room for growth.

The deeper we allow ourselves to go, the more will be revealed to us. This really is a never-ending journey with so much more to learn. Pushing for a finish line that will never appear is like a dog chasing its own tail. If you choose to love the process, not only will it feel better, it also opens up the possibility to learn from it in ways that would've missed. Would the lesson have ever really been received?

#2: Embrace the resistance - it's your biggest teacher

It's tempting to focus on trying to shape the world outside of you to fit, but most of this is outside of your control and so it takes a lot of effort for even the smallest movement. The external world is a reflection of our internal world.

I've personally witnessed my internal healing being shown back to me. The secret lies in the willingness to learn from the wounds and accept and love both yourself and your circumstances exactly as they are.

Resistance begets resistance. So, rather than battling against the currents that challenge me – be it my present situation or aspects of my own being I once denied - I decided to open myself to their profound wisdom. And oh, the beauty that unfolded when I truly listened!

Why not open yourself to the very thing you've been pushing against or avoiding? When you listen, it's no longer fighting to be heard and so any resistance dissolves.

#3: Someone needs your help

Recognising that someone out there, just a few steps behind where you once stood is asking for your support.

I see people pushing their dreams away until they've figured it all out.

No matter your starting point, someone is wondering how you reached where you are now. What if you're the person destined to serve them? 🩷

My focus is on sharing the wounds I've healed. I believe these scars are our unique gifts to the world.

To summarise:

#1: Fall in love with the process

#2: Embrace the resistance - it's your biggest teacher
