In the upcoming time, the wounds that were left by past hurts may linger in your system like storm clouds. And just like clouds can block the sunlight from being seen, these past hurts could block you from seeing new possibilities for yourself.
When these painful memories resurface, your instinct may tell you to take a step back in order to protect yourself, where you wall off parts of yourself that once brought you joy but now only remind you of how you were betrayed in the past.
Although retreating into the safety that isolation brings can numb the still lingering heartache you are experiencing, this will come at the cost of both your present as well as your future connections with people.
So in order for you to clear away these clouds left by past hurts, and to allow the sunlight of creative intimacy back into your life, you must find a way to forgive. Not necessarily by reconciling or by restoring what once was, but rather by releasing what was so you open the door again to what could be. This will allow for new growth in this situation to be allowed in.
The echoes from yesterday of unresolved pain will be at their loudest when we close the door on the potential growth, joy, and renewed connection in our present moment reality, a new experience that is currently seeking expression.
You can limit the ripples of hurt that are spreading into your present-day situation if you start to loosen the grip where you hold onto past wounds and you show not just yourself but also others some non-judgemental compassion. This takes great courage from your part as well as vulnerability, where you will need to gently question the stories you tell yourself about the pain that occurred, and for this you will need to try to separate the actual action steps a person takes from the intentions that you assume are behind them.
But in doing so, you will be able to reclaim the power over yourself again as you realize that no offense can truly take root without you being complicit to the holding onto it. The sunlight of forgiveness will create the conditions necessary for you to heal, grow again, and for the rekindling of meaningful relationships to occur, as well as for you to open up again to creative possibilities.
The question is: What flowers when you water new bonds with the wisdom we now have gained from the past drought that you just came out of? Your capacity to love will always outpace the other person’s ability to hurt when you make sure you purposefully build towards more understanding, as well as a bridge of meaning.
The heart that stops expecting to be harmed at every turn learns to be optimistic again in each moment’s unfolding surprise where you will both have grown in your understanding and you will both have learned to trust eachother again. So make peace with history, so the future may blossom unhindered by the chains that were binding the future potential of this situation to pain.
When two souls are willing to lower their protective shields and they surrender to the hope of potentially uncovering infinite possible fruits that can come from daring to be vulnerable with eachother again, when care and a creative outlook comes from both parties and is received by both parties, then past hurt will fade into the fertile ground where intimacy and inspiration between the both you will at last be able to flow freely once again.
Much love, your Angels
