Greetings, dear loving ones. Have you heard of spiritual bypassing? It’s a term used to describe the tendency to use spiritual practices and beliefs as a way to avoid facing our emotional wounds and unresolved issues. While this may offer temporary relief, it ultimately hinders our growth and healing.
True healing requires us to face our wounds with courage, compassion, and curiosity. It’s a process of self-discovery and self-acceptance that involves acknowledging and processing our emotions, rather than suppressing them with positive affirmations or mantras. We must take responsibility for our own thoughts, feelings, and actions, rather than blaming others or the universe for our problems.
It’s important to cultivate a balanced and grounded approach to self-care, rather than constantly seeking out spiritual experiences or practices as a means of escape. We must also be honest with ourselves and others about our struggles, vulnerabilities, and limitations. Seeking help from trusted professionals or support groups can also be an important part of the healing process.
In contrast to spiritual bypassing, authentic healing involves embracing our authentic selves, flaws and all. It means taking responsibility for our own healing journey, rather than relying on external sources or magical thinking. It’s about cultivating self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and self-love, rather than self-judgment or self-blame.
So if you’re on a journey of healing, remember to approach it with authenticity and vulnerability. Embrace the challenges and opportunities for growth and transformation, with the support of trusted allies along the way. May you find the courage and compassion to face your wounds, and the strength to heal and grow in the process.
