Family- that word has so many meanings, probably meaning something different to each of us. How many of us got what we considered the "perfect" family to be, the Mum who met all our needs, the Father who loved us unconditionally? Siblings that we connected joyfully with? Have we been the "perfect" Mother, or the "perfect" Dad and what does that look like anyway, does it exist? We all got exactly what we needed, but did we get what we wanted; we have all got a story, have we always given and loved as well as we would wish? It seems to me that this is the basis for so much healing work; healing our family saddness, all our shame, anger, guilt, all the things that have gone unsaid, feelings that have been suppressed and too uncomfortable to face. We, each of us, have always done the best we can with the resources we had at the time. When would be a good time to let go of all this and its effects? When would be a good time to put the past to rest? When is it a good time to have a happy childhood? Right now, today, in whatever way works for you- meditation, hypnosis, EFT, journalling, ritual, dancing, prayer, lets all release a little bit of the pain and in that space bring in a little more love and above all love ourselves for knowing that hindsight is a wonderful thing, that we may look back and think we wish we had done it differently but actually we have always, always, always done the best we could at the time. Sending love and forgiveness to all of our perceived failings and failures so we may use them as feedback in order to learn a new way of loving and living this crazy wonderful life xxxxx
