We can all identify with the uncomfortable feelings of a dark scary monster in the closet. We also can feel the elephant in the room if someone is closed about something or if we are trying to cover something up. Both experiences are hidden gems if we face our fear and move the energy around it.
I remember as a child that if I didn’t check my closet and keep it cleaned out the darkness of night would bring me to fears and keep me awake. It was apparent at a young age I would also feel others uncomfortableness and when I was with friends I could sense the air tighten if myself or others were holding on to hidden struggles.
Wether it is a monster in the closet or an elephant in the room I believe we leave our bodies when the pain of fear, the anguish of resentment or lies of self doubt rise up. Our negative past experiences or ugly words of judgment become the barriers and burdens.
When uncomfortable negativities sit in my heart or attack my mind, anxieties rise up and shut me down. Sometimes I don’t even know the source of my fear. The most important response is to take care of it because all of these emotional negativities are mine. Lies that are wrapped up with the ego’s hand prints all over it. The ego takes over and the manipulation and invasion of dark unconscious feelings take over. Please understand this gobbledygook is real as I am facing it head on. Allowing it to rise up is okay because it has a mind of it’s own and wants to leave the body. If I don’t take care of it I feel my critical, unhappy side close me down. If I don’t release it I will become the monster in the closet or the elephant in the room. It’s my responsibility to clear and let go!
The Goddess free’s the monsters and opens her heart to the elephant. She becomes conscious of what is going on, reveals the truth, acknowledging her pain and lets go of any negative thoughts, judgments and fears.
Sometimes if we shine some light on the fear or share our fears with someone the struggle can have a chance to unravel. If we feel uncomfortable about anything take the time to acknowledge it. Say a prayer to ask for help and sit in meditation to listen for guidance. Take action by going inward first and take care of what is trying to get your attention.
