A moment of catharsis is a special blessing that offers the possibility of healing inner fractures. These moments illuminate the deepest and most vulnerable parts of ourselves to the light of deep truth and wisdom that far exceeds our expectations. There is a very real and personal exchange with something bigger than we are can bring us to our knees in absolute inspiration.
It is a most potent moment that draws us into its expansive space and we are moved not only by our grieving but also our release of that grief.
We allow ourselves to be carried away by the wings of an all-encompassing truth and beauty we had no idea was there. The mind becomes as a bystander, witnessing with full attention and focused consciousness, the spontaneous release of resistance from that which we thought we were.
These moments are transformative, life-changing - BEAUTIFUL
During our lifetime, we can carry so many experiences that overwhelm us into putting up barriers, numbing our feelings in order to limit further insult.
It can happen so subtly or suddenly if the fracture is deep enough. It happens to us all at some point in our lives and to varying degrees.
In life, we learn to develop our safe and comfortable space in which to navigate this sometimes overwhelming world. Yet, in that process, we also 'forget' what it is like to be free and innocent because we lose sight of being fully present, fully 'feeling', fully aware on a deeper level.
In essence, we eventually succumb to complacency in our comfortable mediocrity despite our active resolve to stay close to our inner orbiter.
When a cathartic moment arrives, they often accompany revering tears. They can pierce through these protective barriers with pin-point precision. As we abandon control and our resistance, the moment then lays us wide open...trembling in the waves of excruciating, soul-filled, truth.
Perhaps our reactionary tears come from a deep place of healing and truth as we are better able (with clarity) to see 'beyond ourselves', yet take in the fullness that we are so this moment can apply its medicine to our soul. It washes over us...correcting, balancing that which we have left in our un-attended areas - those wounded parts of ourselves laid dormant waiting to be seen...and felt...again.
In some inexplicable way, this moment of cathartic bliss was exactly what the heart needed. Speaking through the soul in words that only 'you' could understand and breaking free of every layer of that un-penetrable barrier constructed in order to feel some semblance of relative comfort in life.
And you know in that moment, without reservation, that you are safe to let go and let in that raw beauty of your soul's truth.
The moment we cry....it is not when things are sad but when they turn out to be more beautiful than we expected them to be." ~ Alain DeBotton
