A healing crisis is a temporary worsening of symptoms that come up to heal as we go through the healing process. When this occurs, it is important to take extra gentle care of yourself. It can help to spend some quiet time with whatever you are feeling and see if you can support your body to release anything that is no longer serving you. Drink extra water, rest, and practice self-compassion. Remember that you can pace the healing process, but stay the course.
Often, our healing crises are accompanied by new openings and spiritual insights. You can think of this process as a pattern of birth and death. As you let go of the past, you also make room for something new to emerge. Contractions are an inevitable part of birth—they also allow us to growth and change. When giving birth, learning to ride the waves of intensity and rest between contractions was essential. It was needed to develop into something new and wonderful!
In the tender moments of a healing crisis, it is common to feel vulnerable. Can you hold yourself like a newborn child? Can you turn toward yourself with love? And, with an open mind—I invite you to be curious about the newness of this moment. What is ready to be born? Shadow work is such a valuable asset at this time. Some great references to doing shadow work that i recommend are https://shop.lonerwolf.com/product/the-spiritual-awakening-bundle/
