Based on how unforgiveness and unhealing make you feel, you already know you need to let it go. Some people get addicted to the pain and have a harder time letting it leave their system. Some people resort to unhealthy actions like cutting to release the emotional pain they are feeling. But remember, our thoughts are our choice. We can choose to stop the thought and there for stop the emotions. It's not always easy but necessary to be able to step back and look at it differently.
The first step to healing emotionally is to identify what is triggering the emotions. Is it a past experience, something hurtful that occurred, or a fact you can't change like losing something you can't get back? For some people it's something that happened that made them feel unsafe, like a divorce or illness. Sometimes it's deeper like grief from the loss of a loved one. Grief has its own part I will talk about later that builds on this section.
So identify what it is, and just like the forgiveness section, really try to see all motivations behind what happened. Step outside of how you saw it occur and view it from all angles. That may help detach yourself from the situation so you can choose to let it go and give it to God. Going through an illness can be a very emotional experience and like disgusted in part 1 can become addicting. I had a double masectomy with reconstruction, it was traumatic and emotional to say the least, my body was mutilated, bottom line.
But it also saved my life and now I'm healthy and whole. I choose to not hold onto those emotions anymore. I can choose to love my body when I look in the mirror instead of becoming upset over things I can't control. When I was going through the process it was a dark cloud hanging over me. The treatments, the chemicals and the mutilation of my body all built up to me being an emotional mess, but I let myself experience the feelings, let the emotions wash through me so I could release them.
Crying is not a weakness, it's a strength and a key to healing. It opens the door to the heart and allows all that has happened to pass through the heart and leave the body. Blocking this process is like being unforgiving, it can't create physical illness and negative energy in the body. If you are unhappy in your life, in your current state of being or are just generally grumpy or unhappy, I encourage you to look into your heart and see what is building up there. It's time to not only get physically healthy, but emotionally healthy.
Cry and let it out. When was the last time you really cried? It may have been yesterday or ten years ago. Emotions are a good thing that help us heal and express how we feel. Some people cry when they are happy, it's just another way their heart is showing what it's feeling. The heart is too full of happiness and joy and the tears fall out, let them. When you step out of a situation and feel compassion for all sides and can let it out physically in the form of tears you generally feel better, even if it just a little bit.
The last part of healing once you've let it all out, forgiven where you need to for you (remember, forgiveness is for you, not the other person, that person may not even want forgiveness, but the beauty about it is you can forgive them and therefore release yourself from any ties to them and the situation), the last step is to give it to God, permanently. You no longer need to carry the emotional baggage around, you don't need to let it effect you anymore. Once you've let it pass through you can choose to let it go and give it up.
Pray for release and feel Him take it out of you. Feel lighter, visualize it as a ball of energy leaving your body and being absorbed into the heavens. The divine knows how to process that which you've let go of. You can be free from it. Remember the feeling you have emotionally and physically once you've sent it up and let it go, that way, if it creeps up in your mind later you can remind yourself that you've let that go and remember the feeling and choose to move on, choose a higher thought.
It takes a strong and mature person to be able to stop emotions and thoughts and step out of a situation and be able to see the motivations behind the people or actions involved. I think I've said before that it must be a person who does not like themselves very much to feel the need to attack someone else; try feeling sorry for that person instead of allowing yourself to get mad. When you can release negative emotions you can live outside of them and no longer be strapped by feelings you can't control. Following the parts of being Balanced (earlier posts) keeps you incontrol of your mind and emotions.
You can choose to live a better and happier life. Take responsibility for your thoughts, emotions and actions and you're on the right track. Don't live in a victim mentality and you can do anything, when you let go of feeling that the world owes you something you can make things happen healing is a part of that process. Please feel free to share any thoughts or experiences you have had with healing. And remember, sometimes deep healing requires professional help and that is ok too. Please seek that out if you feel it's needed, remember the most important thing is to heal and release. Love and Blessings.
