Trust is essential to healing

After a heartbreak, we tend to close off and build a wall of protection so we don't have to go through the pain ever again.  Overtime, the walls create a fortified barrier that inhibits the possibility of being able to truly connect with others.  The barrier becomes so rough and rugged that it blocks us even from the truth of who we are.  When we wake up and realize that we have filled our minds and hearts of such great sorrow and despair, this unbearable feeling of loneliness turns into shackles that cage us in... disallowing the light to come through, even the light that is already inherent in all of us.  It's really difficult to see this when our eyes are veiled with pain and suffering.  But once, just once, when we dare to let some light peer through the crevices of hearts, it will slowly shine on the dark areas until all darkness disappears. 

One of the most beautiful things in the process of healing is our reawakening to our truth - that we are spiritual beings, infinitely loved and supported.  We can receive the light when we dare to trust.  It is an intentional and deliberate effort to believe in our wholeness and worthiness.  We need to trust that we are supported, loved, and protected before we can receive the true blessings of life and find ourselves home again.
