The Holiest Place on Earth
The metaphysical text 'A Course in Miracles' says, "The holiest place on earth is where an ancient hatred has become present with love." This is what it feels like for me everytime I can let love be present here in this body that has known trauma and pain. This fragile, fleeting body becomes the holiest place on earth. ::Mary Magdalene Revealed::Meggan Watterson::
Phew. Reading these words, I feel them so deeply in my Womb. The collective shifts I have been feeling has assisted in deep clearings to take place and an even deeper descent into the underworld. I have been spending some intimate time with these inner children. One is full of shame, the other disgust, grief, terror and then there is rage.
Of all of these, the scariest and hardest to be with has been staying with the inner child who wants to die. Immense feelings of death energy and journeying deep within my being and holding the places within me that felt like they shouldnt and didnt exist.
The journey on this path of trauma healing has been to slowly, step by step, bring the voice of my own inner mother and inner father to tend to these places within me who have been yearning to be seen, accepted, and expressed.
But first, tending to my nervous system and regulating an often frozen response to allow for the release of stuck energy so that the sensations could be felt and expressed, and thus released.
This work isnt easy. But I know I incarnated at this time to clear this for myself, my future lineage and my ancestors. I know there are countless others doing the often deep, murky, painful excavation work of being with the dark and bringing forth their true light into those spaces and places that often only have witnessed horror. My capacity to be with my own depths allows me to be with the depths of others. Witnessing the beauty of so many courageous souls also doing the deep often painful work of trauma healing. And within this alchemical work we come to find the holiest place on earth, our own body.
