EMOTIONAL HEALING

Explained ...

(by Lyn Shea)

Emotional Healing probably covers a lot of life issues, from breaks with friends or loved ones to major disappointments in cherished ambitions or objectives. Emotional Healing does not always concern relationship; because we love many things in different ways our emotions are constantly at work. We can be just as emotional about a game of football or a film or a music concert; our emotions are stirred by many things and stimulated by life developments.

Some people have been taught to dismiss or repress the emotions, but this is actually very harmful to body , mind and spirit because emotions are connected to the nervous system, in fact the nerves and the feelings (or emotions) are one and the same. So if we are alive at all we are using our emotions. To control emotions is not the same as suppressing them. Emotions have to be acknowledged in order to be synthesized otherwise they can distort and take on a form we maybe do not recognize because we are not in touch with them.

Emotional healing is a forerunner to healthy existence and unless you live a in a cave in isolation you are going - at certain points and junctures - to have the need for emotional healing. Sometimes this happens naturally, without much effort, and sometimes we are stuck and no matter how much we try we can not move on from some trauma or upset. It is then that we look outside ourselves for a new perspective or slant on something we can only see one way and which is weighing us down. The healing may come in various form: in something we read or something we see or hear, or the intervention of an absorbing alternative experience or one that is purposely sought. And sometimes we need more concentrated focus which deals definitely with questions we wish to ask ourselves in order to get different answers or solutions.

At Cartouche we have a spread called Emotional Healing which deals with the aftermath of relationship break-ups. It is usually only at that point that we can begin to see clearly where things went wrong in the interaction between oneself and another person. And it is only when deeper understanding dawns that we can put something behind us and move on - or try again in another way.

Emotional Healing is not something which can be assured to work, like a painkiller or an indigestion tablet. It's something which takes the time it needs to move certain negative beliefs or attitudes from the psyche, and this includes as well the unconscious mind , which is on a time lag to the conscious ego and often refuses to let go of past experience and pain for fear of losing grip on reality or identity.

Emotional healing is a very personal and individual process, and it can not be competitively measured in the same way as a sprained ankle or the length of the common cold.

If you are trying to get over something or someone, then give yourself time, but don't neglect to give yourself the occasional nudge towards the potential of present and future life. No matter how old you are or who you are or where you're at, there is always a way forward mentally and spiritually. Clearing a space in the mind and holding it there is the hardest thing to do, but its not until it takes place that other things can enter, since thought is alive - its transmitted, and its creative. What you think is more important than what you say. What you think is influenced by what you know, or what you believe.

As well as 'Emotional Healing' our other spreads dealing with emotional matters are:

'Initial Encounter' & 'State of The Heart '
