You can heal from abuse,
and you deserve to.

I healed from abuse and assault, and you can too.
Abuse is when another person, a government, partner, co-worker, or even a stranger, wants to exert control over you and inflict pain on you.
It is not unusual for a person’s pain threshold to get higher and higher when abuse is ongoing.
A common reaction to abuse is: They, he, she, didn’t mean it. Things will get better.
Sometimes the situation does improve. In other cases, it only gets worse over time. Why? Because your silence signals that they can do, say, and behave exactly as they are, with no consequences.
Take a look in the mirror and see the child, the innocent child you must protect. Use this energy, momentum, and example of what is possible in your personal and spiritual life. Is someone putting you down? Making you feel less important? Stupid? Helpless? Have you become used to your own silence? This is not unusual, and awareness is the awakening that something has to change, or someone does.
Women are often, very often, the center of jokes. They are too sensitive, too talkative, silly, only pretty faces, and the list goes on forever. These so-called jokes, videos, and common practices are not funny. You don’t deserve to be someone else’s entertainment at your expense. Songs have spoken abusively about women as far back as Tom Jones’s “She’s A Lady,” with the line, “But she always knows her place.” What is her place? Where is her place?
The big question remains: Where have you placed yourself? Are you walking with and beside your partner, or behind them?
There are many ways to tackle abuse, but I can only address one at a time. So, begin by finding a source that makes you feel powerful and safe. For today’s post, I’ll discuss how your spiritual connection with the animal kingdom protects you. This is very real.
Whether through meditation or contemplation, or whatever word you prefer, explore how animals have accompanied you through life. They love us even when we don’t love ourselves.
Years ago, I met Horse Spirit, who deterred someone who meant me harm. In past lives, I’ve seen wolves, dogs, cats, black panthers, falcons, and owls with me. Their energy doesn’t leave us. Drawing on our past-life strengths can help us tremendously. If you need assistance, leave a DM. Blessings for a peaceful day.
Animals are our connection to Great Spirit, God, however you term the Infinite Creative Intelligence of the Universe. Connect today.
