We understand that physical wounds take time to heal, but we tend to not see that’s also the case with emotional ones.

You can still feel tender in an area even as you’re recovering and getting better at handling similar situations.

As a matter of fact, actually FEELING the hurt can be a significant part of the healing, because it means you’re acknowledging it and not *suppressing* it or *numbing* it.

And you’re probably building or rebuilding a new skill. Ask any person who has had to go thru physical therapy and let them tell you what a b!tch it was — but if they didn’t go thru that part of the recovery, they’d never operate in a healthy way again.

So if you have an emotional reaction to something when you thought you were over it, don’t beat yourself up. It doesn’t mean no progress has been made or that you’re starting over… just like a large, sensitive bruise doesn’t mean you that you never had surgery.

You might even have a *scar* there and that’s okay, too. There are a billion stages to healing ♥️

I was well aware of my anxiety for a long time, but because I had *high-functioning* depression I didn’t have the “regular” symptoms I associated with the condition — so I didn’t even know I had it. Even when a therapist pointed it out to me, I scoffed.

THEN when I finally acknowledged that’s what was going on, I became a little too attached to the label. It became a sort of excuse to not deal with things.

The truth was that I didn’t want help. Or rather, I *did* want to feel better but it just felt too overwhelming and exhausting to try, to put the effort into it. I didn’t want to do the work because I didn’t have the ENERGY... and since I believe in reincarnation and the afterlife, I knew my soul would be fine (whereas I used to be afraid of d(e)ath) I just wanted to give up on this life.

I tell you all this because it’s important to know that just because you’ve found yourself on a spiritual path doesn’t mean you’re going to magically be cured of your struggles. It means you have the tools to heal and progress — but tools are useless without a person to operate them.

The problem is you may not have the energy to swing a hammer or even raise a paintbrush. That’s okay. Start smaller, even if it’s something like scrolling Pinterest for interior decorating ideas.

This analogy may be getting a little out of control. What I’m getting at is that even when you don’t feel like applying any of this shit, keep surrounding yourself with good vibes. Read the books, watch the uplifting videos… surround yourself with people and content that spark something in your soul. Don’t give up, even if you need to pause and rest. The inspiration will come.

Here are what expert Carol Bowman has dubbed The F

Here are what expert Carol Bowman has dubbed The Four Signs in determining whether your kid is remembering a past life or is just making shit up for fun. It should be noted that a child doesn’t have to exhibit ALL 4 signs for the memories to be valid. It could be any combination…

1. Matter-of-fact tone — It’s not just *what* the child is saying. It’s *how* they say it. It’s not something silly that’s just made up on the spot. It’s factual to them. It is said with the same confidence as telling you what their teacher’s name is or that they’re holding a blue cup of chocolate milk. Oftentimes, the kid’s tone and voice will change a bit - as though they are suddenly much older than their actual years. Like the child who said he was once “betrothed.” Kinda creepy, right?

2. Consistency over time — Think about all those criminal shows that teach us how to catch a person who is lying. For one thing, when a person tells a lie (or a kid is just making up a story) it’s harder to keep the story straight if they have to tell it more than once. With untruths, you are *creating* something, not *remembering* it. So, yeah, if your kids is repeatedly telling you the same story of something that happened in his “old life” it’s probably a real memory. (This doesn’t mean he won’t possibly ADD to the story if he remembers more later.)

3. Knowledge beyond experience - The internet is full of videos showcasing child prodigies. While every child who recalls a past life won’t be a 2yo concert pianist, it’s not uncommon for a kid to have shocking knowledge or a skill he didn’t learn from his family. And plenty of these cases existed long before iPads and YouTube.

Corresponding behavior and traits — This one kinda overlaps with the last sign, but it also includes things like phobias, strange food preferences, and mannerisms, etc. This may also show up as physical characteristics like a birthmark that corresponds with a fatal wound in the last life or as a birth defect ((like my son who was literally born with his intestines out of his body and had to be rushed into surgery)). Dr. Ian Stevenson did EXTENSIVE research on this particular category.

If you find yourself doing this a lot, here’s your reminder that your needs and wants are just as important as anyone else’s. Slow down, take a moment, do something wild and crazy and selfish like drink your coffee while it’s still hot 😂

Pause for a moment. You can tell when you’re being pushed by fear and when you’re being inspired by joy.

If you’re panicking that a project won’t turn out perfectly, if you struggle to hear even minor criticism, if you have a meltdown the moment things don’t go as planned… That means more concerned with the outcome than the process.

And THAT is a sign that you’ve been conditioned to believe you have to *earn* love…that your worth is determined by your accomplishments.

My darling, sweet soul. That is not true.

You don’t have to *do* anything. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

So if you *do* decide to pursue something, let it be inspired by genuine interest and bliss. It’s hard for us action-based humans to grasp this, but that is the whole point of being here.

Bruh. Being a human is scary sometimes. It’ can be hard not knowing what comes next.
Watching an episode of Modern Family or The Office for the hundredth time is actually a pretty healthy way to deal with those anxious moments.

Meditation has been a fantastic resource for me (and so is drinking water and getting in a good workout blah blah) but it won’t help you if it’s something you dread, something that feels boring, something that feels like an obligation…

BUT did you know that watching a funny show or a comforting movie is its own form of trance and can have similar benefits? You’re allowed to decompress without feeling guilty about it. It doesn’t make you less spiritual to watch Golden Girls.
It’s actually a great way to raise your vibration ✨

This, of course, is not a comprehensive list. It’s not even a full list of all the books on the subject that I or have read. The point being there is *so* much valid material out there on reincarnation, past lives, souls, the afterlife, etc.

You can see a good list of books I recommend on my website (l i n k in b i o) or message/comment if you want to send you the l!nk.

Feeling overwhelmed? Here are a few of my personal favorites to start with:
