She Healed To Shine

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

She felt it,

The longing.

A desire to be close.

Yet, once again, she knew it would come with a bite.

A bite that would leave a mark for too long.

Another friendship lost,

Lost too the call of that longing to be close.

To be close held too much else.

To be close would create too much trouble.

Minds overthinking,

Hearts not yet healed,

Fears of not being ready,

Egos of any human being,

Past experiences bringing things up,

Future goals becoming more important,

So many contradicting parts.

So many expectations.

There was still healing to be done.

There were so many obstacles to overcome.

Solitude,

This was the path.

Safety,

Security,

Self-sufficiency.

A love story of her own journey.

One that expressed itself through her full capacity to be truly herself.

No expectations but her own.

No past cycles repeating.

The cycle of loving and losing is over.

It was time to love herself,

To be herself,

To tend to her own heart.

For too long she neglected her own, as she filled up others.

She patched them, carried them, tended to them, never taking the time to take care for her own.

This is the journey of the healer.

The healer who forgot herself.

Now it’s time to remember who she is, so she can once again shine.

Pieces Of Me

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Little bits and pieces,

Falling back together.

For so long they were scattered all over,

A mess,

A puzzle,

A literal natural disaster.

Yet, it was a beautiful mess.

It was a perfect storm,

A way of life that seemed normal,

Natural and real.

Every other person lives within a similar kind of inner storm.

What is normal anyways?

There is no true comparison.

Those pieces,

Those scattered missing parts,

They found their way back.

Like a magnetic connection.

An inner knowing,

A rhythm of understanding where they belonged.

Nature always knows.

She’s always listening,

She’s watching,

She’s feeling.

Every aspect of human or living being,

All connected,

All apart of this one life.

All healing.

All knowing.

All one.

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.

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

Healing Comes From Feeling

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

The only way to heal is to feel…

-////-

Avoidance causes more suffering.

Numbing just makes it take longer to heal.

Feel the pain.

Experience the emotions.

You came here to heal, to grow and to feel. 

Yet the human has created so much distraction.

So many creams.

So many quick fixes.

But the only way to heal is to feel. 

You’ve got to feel it to heal it. 

Move through the emotions.

Move through the pain.

See the lessons.

See the guidance.

It is all here to teach you.

Aging

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Her face is changing. 

Her skin is different. 

Her body is not quite the same as it once was. 

She doesn’t know how she feels about it. 

Weeks go by and her skin is looser. 

Months go by and her smile is changed. 

Remembering back to when she was younger and thinking, “if only I could have valued myself more, if only I could have treated myself better.”

Time goes on with each click of the second hand. 

The sun sets and rises, and she continues to find her way. 

Still learning, still growing, yet now looking a little different and feeling a bit more further away from who she once was, yet still always the same.

The Bridges of Life

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

There is magic in the journey.

We see where we want to be and we must let go of worrying how we will get there.

The bridges of life are not always for us to build, but they are a gift that we are guided to, that allow us to move from one chapter to the next.

We must not worry about how we will get to the next destination, we must only focus on visualizing where we want to go.

The journey is full of possibilities…

Remember to dream big, trust the process and have as much fun with it all as you possibly can.

A Journey Persisted

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

For as long as she could remember, she knew there would be something special for her…

For as long as she could remember, she knew she could never give up on believing in herself….

As the years went by, she continued to fall and then crawl through life’s challenges,

Until one day she remembered she could walk.

Then she quickly started to run.

She began sprinting, jumping and then finally she flew.

When she discovered her wings, she learned to float over those who didn’t believe in her or see her for who she was.

She didn’t worry about being alone, for she was always surrounded by so many who saw her for who she was and loved her no matter what, even through months and years of silence.

Whooshing through trees, flying beside mountain tops, she soared high above the clouds.

She flew up to the stars and zoomed back down, reaching the oceans and diving in like a sea creature, moving through the waters with great force.

Back to the surface, letting the air dry her off, she would then find a safe place to land.

Not for long though, as she found her place to be in the sky.

She knew she wasn’t like many others.

She knew she was made differently and created on purpose, for a purpose that was all her own.

Only she could know what that was, and what she was here for.

Though all the pieces may not make sense to others, she knew each one was meant for her, even the pieces that didn’t fit into the whole picture.

One day, maybe far off down the road, she would tell her story.

But for now, she will just continue to fly, soaring on her own, gliding from tree to tree, taking breaks on the mountain tops…

Solitude, this is her happy place.

At last, she knew, her purpose was there all along.

To be continued….

🤍

Grow

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Let it be,

There is no force necessary.

Let it be,

The best direction is the one of the wind.

Let it go,

For each day we must allow the day to flow.

Let it go,

For in all things, the best thing is to set all worries free.

Grow,

Just as the trees must reach the sky,

Grow,

You will find your way.

In the end,

The best thing you will have ever done was to let it be, let it go and to grow.

Life has a way of guiding us down the path.

We must learn to be careful of what we carry with us.

Not everything (or everyone) is worthwhile of our precious energy.

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.
