Healing with Angel Talk

In the previous chapters we have studied about why we are here; the lessons that the angels want to teach us; how the angels communicate with us; meditation; the importance of our thoughts and how our five senses influence our state of being. In this chapter, we are going to learn how to apply everything that we have learned to deal with some specific issues regarding emotional healing. First, the angels want me to reinforce that emotional healing is connected to our physical and spiritual healing and vice versa. Making a change in one area affects the others. They would also like me to point out that emotional, physical and spiritual healing is the same as mind, body, soul healing. I use the terms synonymously. The angels are also telling me that the work done from this chapter may be particularly difficult for some people. Emotions can be very powerful. Remember that your angels are not going to give you more than you can handle. They are also not sitting back in judgment over us. They can be firm and persistent but they will always offer their unconditional love and support during the healing process. They are also reminding me that if you feel the need to search out a professional concerning your emotional healing, then please do so. The angels want you to be comfortable with the process. The following emotional disorders are some of the most common ones that people are experiencing in today’s world. Many of these overlap so be sure and read each section even if you do not think that it applies to you. PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) One of the biggest culprits that interferes with our emotional state of well being involves trauma and the stress (or I should say the distress) that results in the aftermath. This is commonly referred to as post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. The angels want me to clarify that emotional trauma can be from one single event or from repeated exposure to what is perceived as traumatic experiences. A single event could be a physical assault; a violation of any kind (such as theft or vandalism in a home); being witness to a traumatic event; or any event that is viewed as frightening. Prolonged exposure type of events can be from combat exposure during times of war; emotional assault from an abusive partner; from a childhood that is fraught with fear and uncertainty or any other prolonged exposure to distressing circumstances. Please be aware that childhood fear can result from not just a physically abusive parent, but from one that is verbally abusive or just volatile. Also, keep in mind that it is a person’s perspective of the event that is going to determine how fast they recover. Someone with a positive healthy outlook understands that adverse events are going to happen and deals with them in a healthy constructive manner. I am by no means minimizing adverse events as there are some incredibly traumatic experiences that people have gone through. I am only pointing out that we determine whether we heal from that event or not. We have to decide whether we want to be a victim or a victor over the situation. Generally, people tend to hold on to the pain associated with the trauma and that creates problems (including health issues) during their lives. Our angels can help us understand the circumstances on why that pain was experienced (if this is important) and what lessons were learned as a result. Many times, that pain becomes self-inflicted as we continue to dwell on it. An example of a trauma that is common among many people involves a physical assault. It can be a single event or a repetitive event. A more specific example involves physical abuse from a parent or a spouse. If childhood physical abuse was a problem for you, then your angels may help you to have memories surface where you gain a better understanding of the offending parent. This will help you to find compassion for what they experienced and offer forgiveness to them. It may be a memory of something that you had first-hand knowledge of or a memory of a conversation where someone relayed the information to you. Sometimes we don’t understand what our parents went through until we become adults ourselves and go through similar experiences. Either way, what is important is not to judge them and hold onto a grudge. This only impedes our own happiness. They did the best job they could with the tools that they were given. Also, remember that people behave in this negative manner because they are unhappy about something. Their unhappiness affects you but keep in mind that it is not about you. It is about them. You just happen to be in what is considered the “line of fire”. This same information applies to spousal abuse as well. The main difference here is that adults have the capability of removing themselves from their situation. If you are a victim of spousal abuse, then keep in mind that you have a choice. Ask your angels for guidance and pay attention to the information that is placed in front of you. They may lead you to appropriate places to receive help or divinely intervene in your circumstances.
