Inner work What do we mean by inner work? This is the process of working on yourself healing your past or current pain, sadness, fear, etc. Why do we need to do inner work? Everyone needs that throughout life we have experiences and those experiences shape who we are how we think and our core beliefs when emotional trauma happens whether it's big like someone broke your heart or small your mom didn't buy you the toy you wanted as a child, we end up storing that energy in the energy body where it will continue to affect us until we do something to heal it. You can see why an empath would need to do inner work, they absorb their own energy plus the energy of those around them. So what is inner work?
What do we do? We rewrite those limiting beliefs into positive ones. We think back to the bad memory that is affecting us now and take steps to change your perspective of this memory and therefore change your belief and emotion about it. Here are some steps to follow. One, recognize that it happened and all it admitted, except that it happened. To go back and remember it with a relaxed mind, face the memory with curiosity, not fear or hate or sadness, see how it happened and keep an open mind.
Three, now you can create a new understanding of it. approaching this negative memory with forgiveness and understanding. You can come up with a new conclusion or perspective on what happened and what it can teach you write it down so you have a visual of it. This helps make it feel real and true. Here is a hypothetical example. When Sally was a child, her mother left her and her siblings and father for a new man, Sally gets into a relaxed state by taking a walk for you.
It can be anything that helps you feel relaxed. Now that Sally is relaxed. She thinks back to that moment but instead of feeling the usual pain of being abandoned, she tries to understand her mother's side of it. Maybe mom was depressed or had a mental illness or was unhappy in her marriage or overwhelmed. Sally forgives her mother. Understanding is what leads to forgiveness.
Forgiveness is healing. Now Sally knows she is lovable and that not everyone in her life will abandon her. She has let go of the pain and gave it a new understanding. Getting rid of limiting beliefs that hold you back and keep your energy low is some very effective inner work. I have included extra downloads focused on limiting beliefs in this section.
