We just end up hardening our heart until it feels nothing, that’s the risk.

That’s the problem. We think we are safe, but in fact, we only keep ourselves from life, and therefore from everything it could give us.

That’s so true, sadly! You also have chosen a very impressiv image. Best wishes for the week, Erika! xx Michael (I’ve caught up!)

It is easy to hide behind a wall but the more difficult to break it down again. Thank you, you have a good one too, Michael!

That’s right, and in addition we only talk to our dark self that only isolates us more.

We have to grow through the pain and allow our hearts to remain open to the experiences that will help us to heal. Have a good weekend, Erika 🌞

Higing in a shell is sometimes the only way to keep ourselves from attacks. And it is ok, unless it takes too long (which is individual). Life takes us to the place where we may recognize this this over time. It is part of our personal evolution. And how much more insightful is it when we realize our prison is only homemade. Thank you very much and you have a great weekend too!

You are open and see the signs. I am glad and thankful when some of what I share works like such a sign. Much love to you 💖

So true we can’t run from our own Shadows

No chance! The only thing we can do is turn around and look into the light to let the shadows fall behind us (taken from a Chinese proverb).

So true. I am reminded of the line in the Garth Brooks song, “…I might have missed the pain, but I would’ve had to miss the dance…”

Oh, right, that is what I said to my son when our cat died. If we had not had him we would not be sad now but we would have missed all the joy he brought to us.

this is so true and sometimes hard to react in a way other than protection, but it really works the other way

When someone got deeply hurt, humiliated, and maybe broken then it is a natural reaction and hard to stay open. But keeping in mind, that we only imprision ourselves when building walls around us, helps to only stay there for recovery.

I admit, to protect myself, I tend to fall into the category of “retreat and safety”. 🙏🏻

Retreat is a good thing. It makes you recover and regain energy. Also, you may find some answers you only find deep within. As long as it does not end up in burying and hiding, it has a healthy effect. That even draws energy over time.

Beautifully said Erika, and very wise words kind lady. It may be an unintentional act, but it does then take a greater time to break through it. And Ritu added something delightful to go with it 🤗❤️🙏

It is not easy to break those big walls (talking from experience). After a while you don’t even recognize anymore that you sit in a prison. But one day, the moment comes when you understand what happened and that you can simply open that door and walk away. Maybe that moment is so much more insightful right because of the misunderstanding one lived for so long. I mean, whom do I tell… 😄

Wise words Erika. And there is only us to tell, because we are the only one’s inside us to truly understand exactly what we are feeling…oh, and Spirit 🤣❤️🙏

Absolutely, Mark! It is another step to see that whatever others think and say about us, is what comes from their feelings. It is difficult an insecure being to withstand that but once done the more powerful! 💖

The moment when we are the most vulnerable is that crucial moment to decide which way to go. But even when we choose the refuge, it may be necessary for a while to recover. However, it is dangerous to wait too long for opening the door again… butwhat is “too long”, right?
