love is all around

Over the past 8 years I have been studying intensively at Lightwork Spiritual Development. A spiritual practice designed to create a safe space to heal oneself. There has been immense change in my life over the past 8 years. I have opened up new ways of being; more trust, love, self respect, determination and self responsibility. I have been able to create things that I have wanted in my life for years, a job I love, a beautiful loving husband, a safe happy home and more! This work is intense and takes courage. I am proud of myself for sticking to it. I am also proud of the students that I see at Lightwork healing themselves. I have been teaching now for 5 years and it is a blessing to assist people in such a real and safe way. This following piece is a focus on one aspect of healing. I feel one of the reasons I am on the planet at this time is to shine a light on this subject to bring it out of the darkness, raise it up to the sun and watch as the light cracks it open:

Sexual abuse is prevalent.
Some people want to avoid it, hide it away, tuck it in the back of the closet hidden under a mess of stuff in the dark.
Forget and deny.
When this happens sexual abuse stays there lingering, affecting every move that person makes.

Sexual abuse can happen energetically - with a thought, a vision either way conscious or unconscious, the person thinking that thought is responsible for the thought.
It can happen with a word or a physical act.

Some people who are sexually abused hold disdain towards others who talked about their sexual abuse. I have seen people forget, forget their entire childhood. Parts of their childhood. Forget that the abuse ever took place, like a blackout.

And I see people healing their sexual abuse. Taking ownership of the situation. Stepping out of the victim role with all of it’s limitations and powerlessness. Facing the fear of looking it straight on and seeing it clearly.
It doesn’t stand a chance it backs off cowering in the corner. A shivering cold lie. Disconnected from love, from light, from truth. See it Speak it Heal it The light is stronger. We are stronger. We are light.
