Heal Your Soul

Today is a very special day, that brought a realisation of a lifetime nearly. It is that important. As soon as I calmed down, as I was so touched by this thought and the deep understanding of life that came thanks to it, I came here to our beautiful EcoHealthLAB page to share it with you. Can you heal your soul? I believe you can.

How similar we humans are to each other

Let’s begin with saying, that it is truly rare to find a human being who has no problems. We all have troubles, in the sphere of love, money, relationships, health, emotions and other. Moreover, all of us experience difficult feelings, and sometimes we have this impression that troubles come in pairs. Just one seems to be following the other. It all seems so complicated, and you may not know how to heal your soul.

At the same time, we know that on the bottom of all our emotions and feelings, is a person who is truly beautiful, calm and capable of doing anything one imagines. What’s more, with a boundless potential.

And yet, we get caught up in an emotional struggle, that leads us to problems, lack of fulfillment in life, a deep feeling of being not enough, unable to do what others can. But we are truly estonishing creatures. Einstein, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, and others who are seen as geniuses, are not exceptions. They used their minds, hearts and souls differently than most of us do.

And here we are, approaching this realisation that came today,

to shine the light through everything human being is. Emotions, feelings, we all have them. Furthermore, in them, there is power to create and there is power to destroy.

Sometimes, we react in an automatic way to specific situations, by feeling anger, sadness, worry. For example, if we are hurt by others, we may feel anger, or when people talk about us behind our backs, we may feel alone, betrayed, victimised. And these feelings lead us to a thought that we are a victim, not worth much.

Or, when we do something in a specific way. For example, when it comes to learning the languages, when we observe how we learn, we may see ourself, who we are in this specific moment:

Do you speak a foreign language well, or just a bit? Do you speak many foreign languages, or just a one? When you do something, do you do it really well, or not so? Do you reach perfection, or mediocre results?

And now, ask yourself, where do these situations lead you to? To what kind of emotions? if you learn something perfectly, or learn only a bit, and than struggle when trying to form a sentence in a foreign language? How do you feel in each of these situations? Each situation we experience leads us to specific emotions. These emotions are the key!

Heal your soul, the emotions and feelings are very important

We have patterns of behaviours. We tend to not reach perfection in what we do, but stop at a certain level. If it is a foreign language again, we may feel not fully able to express the thought and emotions in the foreign language, we may feel less confident than the other person, weaker, etc.

Again, we have patterns of behaviours. It is not just the language that we have troubles learning, but in all areas of life. And often we feel similar emotions.

And yes, it is the point. Our minds, our souls, our internal programs use these activities we do, to bring us to the same emotions over and over again, because we are either used to them, or need them, no matter how destructive they are.  There is a scientific proof, that a human brain is addicted to depression just as much as it can be to heroin.

So we purposely reach mediocre results, to feel specific emotions and feelings. These specific emotions and feelings prove to us who we think we are. If we think that we are not as good as others, we will seeks situations, emotions and feelings that will bring us the proofs of the thoughts we have.

So, can you have better emotions?

The lucky thing, is that we are far far greater than any of our internal programs. And that we can change who we think and feel we are.

I am not a psychologist to tell you what to do, I just wanted to share the great thought from today. Which is: the situations in your life are the tools your mind/soul use to achieve specific emotions that align with who you think you are. You will see specific emotions, and choose situations or provoke specific situations to reach the same emotions. This is how you start to heal your soul.

The mythical ancient Greek story with a surprising ending

As I said, I will not give a solution, as we are all different. But let me tell you a story. It comes from Greek mythology.

In a heart of a labyrinth on a Greek island called Crete, lives a monster. The island has a king. His name is Minos, and the queen is the monster’s mother. The monster has name a name as well: Minotaur. He is a terrifying figure, who has a head of a bull and a body of a man. He eats humans, 7 young boys and 7 young girls, drawn by lots in Athens each year. Noone knows how to kill the monster… Untill young Theseus comes, a son of a King Aegeus.

The boy is mighty, and feels no fear. But the labyrinth is very complicated and the Minotaur powerful. He sits in the darkest and the most inaccessible part of the maze. Noone who dared to attack the creature came back alive. Yet Theseus wants to try. So he goes into the heart of darkness, with a sword and a ball of thread, given to him by his lover Ariadne. Ariadne is a daugher of Minos, the King of Crete. He finds the Minotaur and kills it. After killing it, he has another trouble: the labyrinth itself. But… Ariadne gave him a ball of thread. He goes step by step following the thread given to him, which he uncoiled from the beginning of the maze. The thread of love…
