When our emotions — such as anger, sadness, hatred, hopelessness, guilt, and others — become too overwhelming, it’s only a matter of time before they manifest as illness, pain, injury, infidelity, divorce, an accident, or another difficult life situation.
When emotions are small at their beginning and we don’t deal with them, they grow and boil inside us like lava in a volcano. Once they’re big enough, it only takes one more challenging situation for the volcano to erupt. Our body can no longer handle it.
Something starts to hurt, sting, or we experience an injury or accident, and we ask, Why? Why me? Why does it hurt so much? Most often, we run to someone outside of us who can help — someone to ease the consequences of our long-suppressed and unresolved emotions.
We’re given pills, ointments, tinctures — because that’s all that can be done from the outside. But it’s like putting a bandage over an open wound. It covers it up, but it doesn’t solve the problem underneath.
Cover it once, and it comes back again. A wise old truth.
Tejto téme sa rozsiahlejšie venujem hlavne vo svojej knihe:
If we want to be healthy again, we need to understand why the pain, illness, injury, or accident came — what preceded it — and heal it there.
Personally, I don’t know a better path than therapy.
In my life, I’ve tried several forms of therapy, but the one I currently practice is the deepest and most comprehensive. In 90 minutes to 2 hours, a problem can be resolved so deeply within you that you might not have reached that depth even after ten sessions elsewhere.
However, the best approach is to prevent all of this — to prevent pain, illness, injuries, accidents, and other unpleasant life events. For that, a person needs to be self-aware and work on themselves regularly. To cleanse through therapy or in other ways, so they can reach such a high state of consciousness that they clearly hear their inner voice, follow it, know themselves, and continuously work on their own growth.
Such a person can prevent many difficult things in life. And even if they do experience challenges, they already know how to get through them quickly — because they know that the only way out is by going within.
It’s also important to mention that whatever we carry inside ourselves, we live out in the world around us. When we hold a lot of anger inside, we meet many angry people and end up in similar situations. Our surroundings mirror our inner world. That’s why it’s essential to work on ourselves and heal these emotions from difficult past experiences — most often from childhood — so we can live happier and more peaceful lives.
As within, so without… I, my wife, and the people who have come to us for therapy are living proof of this.
