Healing Has Layers: When You Think It's
Over, It's Only Just Beginning
Many people believe
that “healing” is an endpoint — a final moment of release, of resolution, of
finally leaving the past behind. But true healing is much more like peeling an
onion — with each layer removed, another, deeper one reveals itself.
You may have already
let go of anger toward your parents, released attachment to past lovers, or
quieted your inner critic. But suddenly, one day, an inexplicable sense of
sadness resurfaces. A memory, a feeling you thought you had already healed
returns — unexpected and raw.
This is not
regression, and it doesn’t mean you did something wrong. It is your soul’s
invitation to go deeper — to meet another layer of truth, to finally hold the
pain that isn’t a story anymore, but a vibration deep within your being.
I remember one morning
sitting quietly, with sunlight pouring across the floor. Everything seemed
peaceful, but tears began to stream down my face. I thought I had finished that
part of my healing journey — I had understood, I had forgiven — but my body said:
there's still a part that hasn’t been seen.
I just sat with it. No
fixing. No running. Just presence. And in that moment, I realized: healing
isn’t about progress, it’s about truth. Not about fixing, but about allowing
everything to unfold and be felt, just as it is.
Reflective Prompts:
- If you're facing a recurring emotion,
don't judge yourself. Embrace it. It's not a loop — it's a new door.
- Write down the themes you believed were
“already healed.” Can you feel if there's something deeper?
- Speak with your body: where is the
discomfort now? Could it be trying to tell you something?
