Healing emotional wounds VS attracting negative consequences

[Soul Reaver]

So I'm probing my past. I'm trying to learn from my mistakes. Some painful memories have come back.

Meditation would say you need to feel the feelings before you are free of the pain. But if the Law of Attraction is indeed working at all times, wouldn't this mean that by delving into past hurt....the likelihood of it happening again increases?


Is there an effective way to heal emotional wounds using LoA?

[Greek Dog]

You raise a fascinating question.
I would like to figure this out. I have come to believe that the past pain exists via repression until and unless it has been healed. If that is the case then LOA is at work regardless. In fact I suspect it is at work via the blocks that have not been identified (old hurts).

If that is the case then allowing those repressed pains to surface is the way to healing and to releasing the pain keeps the repressed hurts from bringing on more of the same via the unconscious.

Keeping it buried isn't going to help anyone. Because even if you're not consciously aware of it, it's there, affecting your reality in significant ways. Until and unless you find the hurts, release them, and heal them, they're going to keep right on affecting your reality.

Yes, you'll have some pain for a while, but pain is just pain, and nothing more. It's like opening up an infected wound in order to clean it out. It hurts! But then it can heal properly and stop spreading infection throughout your system.

Same thing with unprocessed and unhealed emotional, psychic, and mental injuries.

But is there anyway to heal using loa?

Say you want to confront someone from your past. By visualizing said confrontation were you dealt with the issue....what would happen?

Would that make way for that interaction to take place in real life? Or what?



I'm gonna be honest here...I read and read about emotional healing everywhere, but I'm still not convinced about any of the methods. I've read about. Is there anything out there that really works?

Yes. I use intention to heal all the time.

It depends. Is it truly your intention to confront them? Or is it just a fantasy? Because I've found that what really counts is not so much the visualisation but the underlying intention.

If you really intend the opportunity to confront someone, you can certainly create a confrontation.

Well, I healed years of emotional trauma, so, obviously, something must work.

I got there with a combination of sincere intention (which was in the form of prayer, because that's really all I knew to do at the time) and surrender, a bit at a time, to the process that came about as a result of that intention. I really, sincerely, and genuinely wanted change, complete change if necessary, and that's what I got. It wasn't an easy process, but it was definitely worth it.

I feel my intentions are good. Basically I feel I let some people step on me in the past and that whole part of my life is leaving me feel I no longer respect the person I've been in some situations. The problem is I've been treating these individuals like I let everything slide (which I kinda did because I'm too forgiving) and that they can basically consider myself my friends.

But lately I've been feeling like I really need to let go of the person I was in a lot of areas in my life. And I want to confront the past. It's a matter of honor. The more conscious new me does not want people to get the wrong impression and wants to establish the boundaries.

Problem is, these people are not very much in my life that much these days...and it would feel weird to confront them on purpose. It would make me feel that by confronting them I'm giving them more reason to believe I'm someone they can disrespect...since I'm obviously "traumatized" by it.

I just want to clean the slate of all this accumulated crap. For the first time in my life I'm starting to dislike myself and feel I lost part of my self-respect. That simply doesn't jive with the BIG BIG things I want for myself. I'm specially afraid of the reputation I will have gathered once I reach the top....I don't want to be called the guy with no spine....it's a matter of integration and authenticity.
