Hidden Wings

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Her strength was hidden by her fears. 

A cloak that covered her great powers, making her seem weak. 

Her focus was always directed on the future, yet the darknesses of the past continued to try and drown her, it tried to sink her, dragging her deep below the surface of the present moment she so longed to see. 

A light was bright within her, guiding her, and others. 

Yet, she never saw this light, though she was told about it by many.

The storms that chased her kept her focused on the fears that she was determined to conquer. 

What she saw was darkness, fear and worry.

Doubts plagued her thoughts, poisoning her mind like chains, dragging her down.

The depth of her seas took her under, yet she always found ways to swim back up to the surface to breathe. 

Yet, not for long. 

Storms constantly took her under, so she learned to breathe underwater. 

She found her strength within the depths, finding peace in her solace, she found her ground to stand on, deep within the storm under the sea that surrounded her, on sands at the bottom of the ocean. 

In the deep depths of the sea, she found her way, she finally saw the light that others had been guided by whenever she was near. 

On a day that seemed ordinary, she found she had wings.

Learning how to swim with them under water, she wondered if they could also take her above the surface. 

She kicked off from the sands on the bottom of the ocean floor.

Pushing through the cold waters, she emerged, flying above the sea, into the clouds above.

She realized she could also fly.

Your Presence Matters

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Sometimes life leaves us in a place of wonder…

Wondering what all these challenges are showing us.

Wondering what our purpose is.

Wondering what this life is leading us towards.

Some may say we are taking a journey.

Some may say we are here to have fun.

Others might say we are just working our way towards death.

Yet, some may see there is deeper meaning.

All in all, we must take each day as it comes.

Some days have great highs and some are just as plain as oatmeal without all the excitement some sweeteners or fruit may give it.

Each one matters.

Each one brings us closer to a certain goal.

We all have a destiny that may not be seen just yet.

We each have a particular purpose, just like each grain of sand that hold up each foot step for all the life that walks across the beach.

Remember this, on those days you feel less than great, you have purpose.

You matter.

Thank you for being here, and being a support for someone’s footsteps, no matter how big or small, your presence helps.

Learning About Self-Value

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Those who truly value you won’t diminish your energy.

They won’t take from you without giving back.

They won’t argue with you when you set your prices for things you are selling, or art you are working on building a business around.

They won’t try to give you less than what you say you are setting as your worth.

Those who are truly here to support you and want to see you succeed will meet you where you are at, while helping you step up to your next level.

They will do this by helping you see how worthy you are of the successes you desire.

They will want to help you achieve your goals.

Even if that means by stepping away from you when they know your time together is no longer aligned.

Those who are here for your highest good will never put you down.

They will never make you question whether or not they are truly good people for your life.

So often we can be in situations where we find ourselves overwhelmed by frustration, because we have surrounded ourselves with a few people who we constantly question, “Are they really a good friend? Would a good friend make me that uncomfortable? If they are my friend, why do I feel so uneasy around them and why do they make me feel unsafe?”

Life is constantly showing us so much about who we are and putting us in situations of questioning ourselves and those around us.

This all for our personal growth.

Learn what you see to be valuable to you, around your peace.

Who is truly your friend?

Who is wearing a mask?

Who is only next to you because they enjoy what they gain from being in your energy field?

You can hold space for your own happiness and feelings of peace.

You don’t need to be around those who put you down or take from you without giving back.

You are deserving of peace.

Remember that you are loved.

You are important.

You Can’t Force What Is Not Meant To Be

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Nature has a way of guiding us.

Teaching us to let things be.

We can’t force anything that’s not meant to be.

Man has a way of wanting to control.

Nature shows us that we must let go of control.

There is a process of how things are.

No matter what you do, if it is not for you, it will not work.

You can try to push it.

You can try to pull it along.

But how far do you need to go, forcing what is not meant to be to try and fit where it doesn’t belong?

–

We all go through changes.

This is life.

Part of being human is continuous evolution.

We don’t stay the same.

So when we try to stay all and continue to do the same routines that are no longer fit for us, it’s going to become uncomfortable.

Just like wearing clothes we have grown out of.

Or working at a job that we are over qualified for, because we have taken classes to move beyond that position.

When it’s time to move on, we will feel it.

And if we continue to try to wear those clothes, or stay in that job that no longer fits us, there will be big signs that force us to move on.

Have you ever worn pants that spit up the… backside? – I have…. Not fun!

If you’re feeling pushed to move on, listen.

If you are feeling the need to find a new place in life, go for it.

We can’t stay small if we have grown bigger.

We can’t expect to fit into places that we have been working so hard to move away from.

So go.

Get out there.

Make room for your new growth.

Re-pot, re-pant, re-job, or re-locate yourself.

There is no better way to feel more comfortable than to listen to that energy and MOVE ON!

Your growth deserves energy to move.

Your new life is waiting for you.

Deeply Rooted In Yourself

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Be deeply rooted…

Deeply rooted in your self-love.

Deeply rooted in your self-care.

Deeply rooted in your self-respect.

Deeply rooted in how you value yourself in all the ways.

–

We can find ourselves getting lost in taking care of other people, neglecting our own needs.

Work, family, friends, partners, life can take over our minds and take up our mental to do list.

We can give and give and give, but forget how we also need to receive.

We don’t necessarily need to receive from others, but we do need to receive from ourselves.

Remember to fill your own cup before filling another’s.

When you wake up, check in with yourself.

Before you go to bed, check in with yourself.

Throughout the day we can be so busy, but it’s important to remember to take time to come back to your own body, your own feelings and take a mental note on how you are feeling.

Become deeply rooted in yourself.

This life is full of distractions, but when we can remember that our needs are also important, we can find more grounding and peace.

This is how we find our balance.

You matter.

Breathe in Life

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Life is better at the beach. 🏖️

  • Take time to take care of you.

–

Life blows by.

All of a sudden, it’s the next year. The next season, or the next century.

–

How often are you slowing down to remember what brings you joy and peace?

–

How often are you remembering to breathe. Not just to live, but to feel life.

–

Be with this moment.

–

Breathe in this moment.

–

Life goes by quickly.

–

Stop counting the second and the regrets.

–

Start counting your blessings and your breaths.

💜

Sit with Yourself

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Sit with yourself.

Let the fears and worries swim around you. 

Then let the universe show you that there is nothing to worry about. 

There is nothing to fear. 

Sit with yourself. 

Remember who you are. 

Remember why you are here 

Sit with yourself.

Relish in the silence. 

Appreciate the nature that surrounds you. 

Sit with yourself. 

Lean in. 

Listen to the whispers of your heart. 

What are they saying…

Sit with yourself. 

Be alone. 

Walk quietly.

Let the thoughts trickle away. 

Be still. 

Be silent. 

Breathe. 

You are safe. 

Love yourself. 

You are enough 

– M. 

Who’s your Friend

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Walking into life with new perspectives…

Sometimes we wonder why we are unhappy with ourselves.

So we look back over the years to see what’s created this.

We see our friendships and relationships, or the choices we have made.

We start looking over how some people have treated us, and how we have allowed a lot of unkindness to step over the doorstep of our soul’s experience, and right into our circle of peace.

People will show you who they are.

They will literally tell you.

Sometimes in words, but other times with their actions.

It can takes years to really see who they really were.

It can also take years to see your own self.

Learning to have more kind friendships takes a lot of self-love.

It takes determination and commitment to self.

Learning that you deserve to be around people who lift you up, rather than put you down, seems like it is common sense.

Yet, sometimes we don’t realize these people are putting us down, until we take time away from everyone so we can look back and process over it all.

Looking over what people have said to us, how we feel when we are around them, and the choices we make when we are with them, are all key signs to pay attention to.

Having been through many layers of my own healing, I am really starting to learn how I FEEL matters.

Listening to my body, to my energy, to my spirit with so many different aspects of life, is beginning to make more and more sense for so many different reasons.

How do you feel when you are alone?

How do you feel in nature?

How do you feel around certain people?

Listen.

Pay attention.

It is all communicating with you.

Change Your Mind, Change Your Life

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

💜

Sometimes we have to skip meals to save money. 

Sometimes we have to sell our clothes to pay the bills. 

Sometimes some of the help runs out, but all of this leads us to a new chapter, a new challenge to overcome and a new way of thinking needs to take over. 

Things don’t happen to you, they happen for  you. 

Be strong in your self-love and listen to the guidance of your intuition. 

Everything is going to be okay. 

💜

Healing Journey

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Sending pictures,

Sending texts,

Looking for love,

Looking for validation.

Trying to live up to everyone else’s expectations.

Hoping for love.

Looking for acceptance.

What is this life without outside validation.

Here me out.

Here me now.

See me fully.

See me wholly.

I am lost.

I am naked.

I am broken.

I am aching.

Cure me.

Fix me.

Heal me quickly.

The pains of this torture are slowly killing me.

Let me be.

Let me grow.

The only way is for me to be alone.

Find me lost.

Find me sad.

Leave me broken,

Leave me be.

I am healing,

I am picking up the scattered pieces of what’s left of me.

-M.
