Are You Bleeding Or Blooming?

Our childhood wounds can be healed for good

Glorious morning!

Today I would like to share a quote that speaks volumes to what we are supposed to be doing while we are here on this crazy planet full of dualities. The quote is by Rune Lazuli. “

" I am blooming from the wound where I once bled “

First , who is Rune Lazuli? She Got noticed for her poetry on instagram and has touched thousands with her words. Everyone of us has battle wounds, it seems to be part of the keep we earn for living life here. The one difference that is pivotal to enjoying the ride here instead of being swallowed by it is, learning how to overcome our wounds and transform it into a powerful message for others. Oh and the fringe benefit while doing that is healing our hearts in the process. A win , win.

If we let our wounds remain raw and open, we bleed it all over the place, in our personal relationships, our work relationships and just day to day encounters with humanity. When we don't heal our wound, we then in turn wound others with our spilled blood so to speak. We also re suffer the original wound over and over and over, in fact we can allow our suffering to remain for a lifetime. When we choose to heal the wound, we close up the space with surrender and forgiveness and grow a new spiritual muscle. Acceptance. Acceptance does not mean condoning hurtful behavior, it simply means to acknowledge the hurt but then for heaven's sake find a way to forgive and let go.

Some of us actually get attached to our wounds in a weird self destructive way without even realizing it. I myself did that. We can turn our wounds into part of our “ broken “ identity. As a lot of you know I had a violent act of betrayal from an uncle when I was 11 years old. The wound from that day bled on and off for decades. It became part of my identity. I didn't mean to do it, it just naturally morphed into an identity all of its own and merged with my own. So I was this loving, fearless and outgoing young girl identity with a terrified and suspicious identity. Merge that together and now a compromised girl is playing out in the world.

Had I really worked on healing my wounds, it would not have had the chance to create havoc in my life. Carrying around a wound , ANY WOUND, is compromising our growth, compromising our dreams. It's kind of like expecting your 6 cylinder car to run smooth and get good gas mileage while running on 5 cylinders. That one broken cylinder throws off the entire performance of the once perfect engine. Not sure if you know what a ride feels like in a car while one cylinder is misfiring but it is extremely rough and  has a lot of trouble moving forward. It is quite obvious that something is in need of repair. The same goes with us , until the wound is fixed, it will be compromising our full potential as a human being. On the day I finally had enough ( decades later ) I got serious and stopped projecting my unconscious fears and suspicions that one person triggered once upon a time and I addressed the wound , I let that little child heal and gave the attention she deserved. I stopped looking at the world through my compromised thinking and started to accept that everyone has their own wounded story.

I started to have compassion for that. I got into a very important habit of taking full responsibility for my story and started crafting and creating a story that I wanted. Today I can happily say that the childhood shadow that once followed me around unchallenged ,has now not only been challenged but healed and let go. Now I can help others find their way out of the shadow and into the light of truth. And that truth is, we all have the power to heal and bloom. Are you in need of blooming but don't know the first steps to take? Backpack therapy is an amazing tool to get over the first big hurdle and that's taking the first step.
