\nWe may, for instance, have lost a loved one, be diagnosed with a serious illness, be painfully lonely and lost.
\nOur reactions to these events will to some extent be dependent on our individual strengths and resources.
\nMany people will become somewhat depressed \/ anxious due to the radical change in their circumstances. It is not unusual to have this adjustment reaction.
\nHowever, for many it can be severe and prolonged causing intense emotional pain and giving rise to physical and psychological symptoms.
\nWe can become trapped in our own mental prison, in a constant cycle of negative and self depreciative thoughts which self perpetuate.
\nThis mindset can colour all that we perceive around us.
\nWe can feel helpless, weak and vulnerable to any intrusion from the outside world which is why many hide themselves away, both physically and emotionally. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nAt our lowest ebb, it seems life becomes a living, dark nightmare from which escape is impossible.
\nWe lose perspective and forget what life can hold for us<\/span><\/p>\n
\nDid you forget the gleeful looks of your loved ones when you entered the room?
\nDid you forget the powerful roar of ocean waves as they are thrown ashore?
\nDid you forget Nature’s seasonal masterpieces?
\nThe crystal like frost of Winter,
\nThe gentle awakening and resurrection of the flora and fauna in Springtime.
\nThe warm Summer sun giving rise to the fruition of Gaia herself as she manifests at her zenith.<\/p>\n
\nWe can still get excited about an impending celebration.
\nWe can still stare in awe at the Moon in the pitch black night sky.
\nWe can still cherish the love of other humans and animals.
\nWe can still discover new and life changing experiences providing we are open to them.
\nBy their very nature wounds heal.
\nIt may take time depending on the severity but it will.
\nThe deeper wounds may leave scars.
\nScarred skin is more resilient and tougher than skin that has not been wounded.<\/p>\n
\nRest assured that if you have patience and give yourself the opportunity, this time will pass.
\nYou will learn from this experience as your life begins to improve.
\nFor if ever it happens again, you will know that you can again triumph and win your life back.<\/p>\n
