Many New Age ideologies promote the notion that there is a “correct” way to live and embody one’s real nature. It’s the belief that if you do the right things, things will work out in your favour, that you’ll heal your detrimental emotional wounds, or that you’ll find inner peace. Because they are so focused on reaching this “inner tranquilly,” they may become alienated from their basic requirements for food, sleep, and so on.
You may discover that you’re deficient in an essential nutrient that supports the healing process (e.g., magnesium; calcium; iron) or that you’re simply not eating enough because you’re trying to heal your emotional wounds within yourself and saving the food for when things are going well in your life.
In our experience, it isn’t always up to us to heal old emotional wounds within ourselves. It’s vital to remember that we are our own masters, yet external events can impact how and when we heal emotional traumas.
The way we approach healing is the key reason why we don’t always heal our emotional scars. We tend to focus on finding a quick remedy so that we can get back to enjoying a stress-free life. This is, of course, an unrealistic assumption.
Healing is frequently a lengthy and exhausting process. It entails digging deep within yourself to eras of your life that you may have forgotten about because you buried your head in the sand. It’s crucial to put in the time and effort to heal those wounds, and it’s also necessary to feel the anguish of seeing parts of yourself that you don’t like or want to see.
This isn’t to say that we should bury our heads in the sand, check out, or remain in the dark about why things have transpired the way they have. But it does imply that having a basic comprehension of the why and how of an occurrence is acceptable. For example, if you experienced a terrible incident as a youngster and are now suffering from anxiety or depression, don’t disregard it. Do not, however, attempt to heal those wounds by becoming nervous or sad. Instead, figure out why you’re worried or depressed, and how your early events contributed to your current mood. Identify the triggers and develop behaviors to help you avoid or manage with them when they happen. It’s possible that you’ll need to go to counselling or visit a professional, but this will help you understand why and how you’re feeling the way you are.
