Justin Baldoni Instagram – A post on #healing. Healing looks different for everyone, but most (if not all of the time) the un-talked about / taboo part of healing is that it sucks. It’s messy, non linear and you often feel worse before you feel better. There isn’t an app or a class or a plant medicine ceremony or pill or meditation that you can short-cut or bio hack path to healing or enlightenment. It’s 100% of the time hard and painful and yet also light and mercy. My calamity is My providence, outwardly it is fire and vengeance, but inwardly it is light and mercy. – Baha’u’llah There are as many ways to heal as there are spiritual practices and religions. And often times each practice or person will say their way is right. So let me say this… if you ever hear that one way is the only way… run away. It’s not about what’s right, there is no beat when it comes to healing. There’s only what’s best for YOU. For me, I practice a few modalities. In addition to weekly somatic therapy focused on the body and the feelings stored in the body, my work with energy healing has been an incredible practice for me and Emily. We practice it individually and as a couple with @drjohnamaral and his wife Christina. If you’re skeptical that’s okay- that GOOP special didn’t do his work Justice. But it’s not for everyone and it’s certainly not affordable. That’s why I highly encourage everyone interested in healing and the relationship between the body mind and health to read @gabormatemd The Myth of Normal. As he says: “Trauma is in most cases multigenerational. The chain of transmission goes from parent to child, stretching from the past into the future. We pass on to our offspring what we haven’t resolved in ourselves.” – Gabor Mate And regardless of where you are on your journey… you are not alone. We are all healing from something and it doesn’t have to take over your life. I want you to know: you will get worse before you get better, but remember that no matter how much darkness you may find in your path, we are all made of light. On the cloudiest of days there is sun behind the clouds. The only way out is through. You are loved. You are seen. You are held. You are enough.
