Tears of Love Meets the Archer

A lot of bad things have happened in the last 3 decades, they are almost incomprehensible to normal people without using similar Hollywood styled examples. Even in training the use of video games was often used. Holding all of it in can cause a build up within the body’s alignment electrically, emotionally, digestively, physically, and even down to a macro level. This is why I drew Stress Tumors. Letting the truth come freely from one’s most inter closets within each component of life can allow the new generation to learn to love freely free from pain and suffering.

When you’re as crunchy as I was, there wasn’t much other than my own art to release from the most inter depths, others might just have to clean out a kitchen to feel the Tears of Love well up within them. This release is actually very important in multiple levels of health and wellness but I enjoy keeping it to the most mundane physical sense as possible, keep that woowoo stuff behind the scenes time. TENSION causes pain, fights, and lack of motivation, the release of emotional feelings allows the nerves within the physical body to fire more smoothly that’s why they suggest crying is good for the soul, but it releases tension within the chest neck and head areas allowing the heart, mind, and digestive systems to balance their actions.

Allowing these actions to start talking one must meet The Archer. No matter which component you decide to work towards balancing first it will always be the center of attention and trickle out towards other components allowing a harmonic lifestyle to emerge.

Disclaimer: Anchoring yourself to a person during shadow work is important.

Why Reflection Season is Important.

During this time of year, reflection is an important part of being able to finish the year off strong. Accounting for gains and losses alike proves to self, your goals and aspirations did not hinder your progress but paved the way towards the end of the chapter.

To reflect; is to know, understand, and acknowledge what is before now.

When you see clearly what you have accomplished before the now, you understand the hard work you’ve already put into motion. This allows the blessings to come forth.

Taking the next few weeks to acknowledge your actions, accomplishments, and attitudes throughout your year towards self and others will lead the way right into gratitude season. Without consideration of those who have helped along the way, you have not fully reflected on yourself.

When you don’t consider your part in others lives you cause a blindness in your blessings, a loop hole if sorts. The loop hole causes lessons to be repeated over and over again. Only until you fully reflect is when the loops stop.

Start by asking yourself what new years resolutions have you back burnered. Did you hold yourself back this year? Did your actions hinder another’s goals? What is your part causing the rest of the world?

Next, look in the mirror, decided what you dislike about yourself, decide what you like about yourself. Try to be honest with yourself fully. Reflect clearly on how you see your physical self and your ego. Are you overly proud? Have you been harmful to others because of your need or greed?

After these questions are truly appreciated by you, can you then ask yourself what you’re most grateful for, why you’re thankful for what you have, who you have, and truly treasure the blessings that are coming your way. Set them in stone for it is your’s to own.

Reflections are like confessions, you choose to see the truth.

Here’s a few other Getting to know Yourself Better posts about reflection from my past.

When Pointing Out Facts is Needed

I was watching a video where a leader of The Navajo Indians suggested to never point one finger at another being. It invites fingers to be pointed back at you. I have heard this before, a few years back and found it to be inspiring at the time but bothersome now. Wrong doings and injustice sometimes needs to be pointed out and it’s hard to do that without conflict, and hurt feelings being had.

When a person is doing their healing work they have to express themselves fully without lying to themselves and their loved ones about what has happened in the past. Even if this person has forgiven the past it is still their truths or there is no true healing to be had, causing negative emotions to build up inside one’spsyche in turn causing physical ailments to emerge.

Truth always offends the offender, especially when manipulation or the abuse of power is being used to make another person feel lesser than. The deeper the healing the nastier things become. At some point one must walk away from the war and do what is best for themselves. This might cause loss of loved ones and friends, even subscribers but it’s a must to move forward during trying times.

Acknowledged traumas heal easier then unacknowledged traumas that have been suppressed for years. Seeing the truth is the only way to release the imbalance.
