Self-Awareness: A Key Element to Healing and Evolution

Some people have a natural curiosity about themselves. But there is a large pool of society that would rather avoid that dense internal jungle of psychological and emotional examination. Let’s face it - it could get ugly! Most of us have tucked away trauma, fear and other unsettling issues that could be triggered at any time. So, why as go ‘there’ unnecessarily.

Yet, the irony is that to resolve or heal these scarred parts of ourselves, we do have to peer inside to understand our triggers. Knowing is part of that healing. To unhook from a painful issue, we often have to dig down many layers to get to the root cause of the problem. Therefore, it is beneficial to practice becoming self-aware of our behaviour and choices every day - so we can quickly catch and clear out our blocks as they come up.

It is not that we cannot live a decent life without having to dig out all the internal weeds. But many of us are unsettled, unhappy and restless within. We find it hard to just relax and accept what we have in front of us and not to want more out of life. We feel our soul stirring and yearning to be fully expressed in this world, which can invoke the human fear of being put in the spotlight and judged harshly by others. So we hide and suffer on until the divine drums become too loud, and we have to muster up any crumb of courage to start on our mission - exploring our unique talent and purpose.

Do we all have a mission in life? There is no definite answer. But we do see that most humans want to evolve in some way, improve their lives, and become ‘greater’. So we come back to the point that to evolve, we have to release as much personal baggage as possible to lighten our load and speed smoothly ahead. When we heal, we become more joyful and appreciative. Our hearts start to open up and radiate the light and beauty that has been held captive. The soul naturally starts to guide us, and we can finally find fulfilment in using our gifts to lift others around us in wondrous ways.

So start becoming aware of your internal environment, keep fishing out any self-sabotaging gremlins and shoot for the stars!

Blessings to you!
