Healing Me

Healing often feels lonely. The urge to rely on others or external things starts to creep in. The search for an easy escape, a shortcut to a better tomorrow without the necessary inner work, becomes increasingly tempting.

But what if the loneliness comes from a lack of self-support? What if it stems from self-denial and the absence of true self-acceptance?

What if I told you that everything you need is already within you?

The Creator designed us in divine likeness. We are creators, too. Remembering the power already instilled in us equips us with everything necessary for our journey. Recognizing this truth is invaluable.

"Healing Me" was written by me, Lina Pastel, as a reminder that we are never truly alone on our healing journeys. Support surrounds us, but it begins with how we support ourselves. Initially, the path may feel lonely, but as we embrace it, we discover its lightness.

Healing Journey

I once believed I needed others and external things to heal me, convinced that nothing was already within me. I feared I wasn’t equipped with what I needed to heal. Along the way, I developed dependencies, searching for peace in other people’s energy, only to find chaos growing within myself.

Spending time with others became draining, and the essence of me began to fade. I found myself in the depths of the dark night of the soul, where even getting out of bed felt like a task. The darkness became a void, an emptiness waiting to be filled. But with what?

I began by listening to the stories within me, stories I hadn’t realized were so loud. They echoed through the pain in my body, the clutter in my mind, and the heaviness I carried in ways I never fully acknowledged. These stories weren’t just lingering; they were waiting to be heard.

So, I became their listener.

I had often placed my burdens on the world, hoping someone else could carry them. But how could I expect the world to hold a weight I wasn’t even willing to carry myself?

Within me, I discovered the beauty in both the darkness and the light, a masterpiece of contrasts that shaped and enriched me.
