Amazing – A Week of Healing and Inspiration

I have had the most amazing week! It started out with my throwing my husband out of the house. And then an epiphany! So, since I didn’t really want to end my marriage and I knew I needed some help (this was not the first time I have kicked him out of the house), I had my dear Honey take me to a lady (Verna) I found in Columbia that does EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).

It was a very amazing experience. I was sexually abused by my father as a child. I thought I had overcome that issue. After all, I knew that it wasn’t my fault, I understood all of the psychological babble logically. But it became clear to me that I was not fully healed – otherwise why would I continually start screaming divorce whenever my husband and I would have an argument. This was what EFT did… total and complete healing. I can’t even describe it. It’s a bizarre process and I’m sure I looked weird doing it. But it worked. I haven’t forgotten what happened. But I no longer have that gut wrenching rage, anger, guilt, shame, loss, etc., build up inside me when I think on it. Now it is just something that has happened in the past. It has become a total non-issue. And that argument with my husband? I was able to discover exactly why I was so furious. I was able to communicate with him what I really needed instead of spiraling out of control because something he did triggered those pent up emotions.

Afterwards I felt so free – like I could do anything. I was laughing and joking. I’m sure my husband thought I had finally lost it. But it was that peace, that final act of forgiveness that had power at that moment. Nothing else mattered.

I hope to be able to work with Verna again. She does a lot of work with women and children. That relationship will continue to grow because I really believe we were destined to meet. Not just to help me heal, but because we have similar passions and may need to join our efforts. We shall see how that plays out.

Then I read the most amazing book about children and education. The Call to Brilliance by Resa Steindel Brown. I wrote a review for it and posted it on my other blog. My children can succeed. I can succeed. All children can succeed. Please, Digg my review here. Another amazing and inspiring moment in this short week!

Everyone needs a week like this! I feel like my spirit is on fire, like I am ready to go out and conquer the world. I have more focus and more passion right now than I have felt in my whole life.
