The Pain Of Letting Go

Chances are you, like me, have been needing to let go of someone or something... maybe a job, a relationship, a role, a home, a chapter, a loved one, or our even an identity...

The emotional pain involved in that is not separate from physical pain. And this pain needs to be tended to.

This year, I lost my precious animal of 13 years. She was so special and sacred to me, and probably one of the biggest blessings I never knew I prayed for.

When she transitioned over that rainbow bridge, I felt like I had a gunshot wound right in my heart and my womb. I couldn't speak nor breathe properly. 

I felt all of my life-force bleeding out of my body leaving me completely shattered, grey, and lifeless.

Part of the pain was shock, part of the pain was knowing I would never see or hold her again, and part of the pain was the resentment that I was blindsided while my heart was wide open.

What did I do? I leaned in. 

I've spent many years discovering tools that would help repair the damage, and utilized them.

I mention this because I am hearing about and observing a lot of people in the process of letting go.

I wanted to send a gentle reminder and encouragement for all of you to lean into your tools and tend to what needs healing.  

Why?  Because if you don't, it will get infected, pussy, and create an onslaught of other physical/emotional/mental/spiritual issues...and that's when life gets unnecessarily and unpredictably messy.

You may discover that the pain is not new, and possibly revealed an older wound/pain/trauma that was sitting there inside of your body.

Give yourself what you need whether it is space, silence, company of loved ones, writing, creating, movement, breathwork, meditation, being in nature, or simply playing...there are so many options available...choose the ones that are effective at healing the pain...not avoiding or numbing out to it.  

You will see and feel the difference on every level of your being, and it will restore you back to wholeness.

You will gain your vibrancy, appetite for life, and joy again...and it may even inform your purpose of being here.

Please remember that on the others side of pain is an opportunity to feel freedom, relief, to learn, grow, transform, and evolve into something new.

Through my own healing process, the monthly womb circle was born.  The sound of the calling got bigger, louder, clearer, and unavoidable...and based on the feedback of the participants from last month, it delivers.

Join me in the well to nourish your being.
