I would love to share my recent personal experience of how the different spiritual healings that we offer, including RoHun Therapies, Yhandi Inner Light, or Entura Art and Sound Therapy may integrate into our daily life and provide understanding and healing. We attend sessions and work with our therapists to gain deep understanding that could help us in expanding our consciousness and spiritual awareness, but all these therapies are not a miracle quick fix on the healing table. In fact, the ending of each therapy session is the beginning of a deeper level of healing.
There was an exercise in one of my classes at Delphi three years ago. I had to feel the feelings and emotions of myself shopping at my favorite store, with each of my parents separately, and channel the energies into drawings. Let me clarify that the energy and feelings may have some relation, but certainly not all, to do with my parents’ shopping preferences and patterns. They are my perceptions towards shopping with them. Someone else who shop with them would feel differently. My perceptions and thoughts then created feelings, including “I am not loved if I spend too much money or on something that (maybe I like but) I do not need.” This became my truth and my belief. I thought I have achieved the understanding through the drawings, and the exercise was DONE.
A couple of weeks ago, when Joe and I were at a grocery store, we saw some Easter decorations. I was looking at the decorations as well as the price tags. hesitated for a while and had an uneasy feeling. We went ahead and picked two decorations. On the way home, Joe said to me that the little decors we bought will bring some festive atmosphere to our home. A realization happened there: why did I have to hesitate on buying these decorations, what were my thoughts and how did I feel? I have been carrying the same thoughts and trapped in the feelings that surfaced in the exercise three years ago unconsciously all through my life when I shop. I have learnt to ignore what I like or love, and let my mind take over the control, which is safe. Not just when shopping, but in every aspect of my life, I unconsciously believe that it is safer to be in control all the time, whether it is my desires, passions, or emotions. Life is filled with little to no joy, but it is safer to be frozen and to avoid the extremes. The uneasy feeling at the store lead to the realization, which connected me back to the understanding I achieved a few years ago, and the shopping experience became a healing. I now have the freedom to find BALANCE in everything I do.
This healing has reminded me of the latest Disney Pixar animation “Turning Red” (Yes, I am a Disney fan!) The main character, Mei, would transform into a red panda when she is overwhelmed with emotions. Her grandmother, mother and aunts all have this same ability, which was passed down by their ancestor. They all consider this power as bad and have been living in fear of the red panda. They have chosen to seal away the power of the red panda.
We all have a red panda within us. We can look at the red panda as simply a darkness, and choose to close our emotions off, or let the red panda be our compass and guide us to the discover our negative thoughts and feelings that keep us imprisoned by our blame, shame, guilt and fear, which lead to our healing. The truth is, no emotions are bad. In “Turning Red”, Mei realized that thinking about the people she loves can calm and bring peace to herself, which can prevent the red panda from being destructive. Living with the red panda does not need to be chaotic. Mei makes a courageous decision to embrace the red panda.
I can relate this decision to going through RoHun therapy. RoHun is a courageous spiritual journey we take, that gives us the opportunity to get to know our red panda. Are you ready to leave your comfort zone, stepping into the unknown, recognizing, accepting and welcoming the growing pains and the changes that come with it, that will ultimately lead you to a life filled with joy and freedom?
