Be Kind To Yourself

Loving The Broken Parts Of You

This newsletter comes from a sharing during one of the weekly online Light Gatherings. You can sign up here if you would like to join the next one.

This person was struggling with a difficult past situation that she was finding it hard to recover from, and more importantly she felt she had lost her connection to the higher power. She asked if I could help her reconnect with her Light…and here is my response:

Yes, that's what we're here for, and that's what we're here doing.

Those wounds can be deep and the grief process can be dark, and will take the time it takes to move through it.

There are a couple of things that I have found can help, or that have helped me, when I've dealt with that kind of situation, where it seems that you are being hurt reputationally, where people say untrue things, where you lose your standing in a community, and lose friends, and even your job.

First, it's a great challenge to love those parts that are broken and accept them as they are. You can try so hard to fix them and they just don't seem to fix. Sometimes it's a matter of accepting that there's a broken part, and loving that broken part.

The one who does the loving happens to be the way to connect to the bigger part of you.

Because if you're loving the broken parts, then who's doing the loving?

You bring forward that energy, and it may change very slowly, like melting a big cube of ice. You just want to be the sun. You want to be the warmth.
