sometimes we have to go back to that dark place
that moment of trauma
from which we think we escaped
a LONG time ago
maybe it was a near death experience that scared the .... of us
or a pain so great you try and jump out of your own skin to get away
whatever it was
the avoidance means the old memory with all its emotions is carried
like a dead weight
taking root in dark corners of your body that breath evades
waiting for a sunnier time
where with support
we relive -
but this time
looking it square in the face
feel its full force
without fleeing or fighting
and deeply breath out letting it go
knowing that the fear that has kept it there for so long
is now no longer real
...it's great to FEEL again
get back that deeper breath
take a lighter step
heart palpitations have taken a break - not so much work today
God I sound old.
Hope this helps someone!
