This beautiful artwork is by Kimberly Webber I have been using the term setbacks to refer to those times when releasing repressed emotions. Is it really a set back? Or is it a chance for moving forward with lesser baggage.
We are taught to not show our emotional chaos for it implies weakness, even mental illness. Mental breakdowns,nervous breakdowns etc.
Many years ago I could no longer hold back my tears of repressed sorrow and grief. I held them in for so long for they only riled my partner into anger and my goal was to keep harmony in my home at all costs. Alas they poured out of me like a waterfall. Four days of uncontrollable crying. Needless to say this did not bring harmony to my home. My partner was livid with me. He called several mental institutions to have me committed and prove me an unfit parent. This only made me cry more for I was once again afraid. The burden of his raging emotions and all my childrens innocent fears weighed me down and I could no longer figure out whose pain was whose. Had I known then that I was an empath I may of handled this situation differently. I know I would of handled it with a stronger conviction..
A reminder to us all to keep doing our spiritual practices, our energy work and as an empath stay grounded and centered.
As far as calling our days of sadness or feelings of rejection or abandonment set backs? They are merely the stirrings, the necessary means to activate those dark niches ad hopefully release them completely this time. They are most definitely a means to move forward with a more radiant Light.
