PART 2 - The Journey That Wasn’t What It Seemed...

Picking up the story where I left off… 


I was standing in the clearing at the bottom of the gorge in rural Provence, overwhelmed by sensations I was trying to understand.


I couldn’t shake the sense of another presence here, a lingering energy from the past.

Who was she? I wondered.

What happened here?


I tried not to examine the fragments too closely, but the intensity was undeniable.


The feeling of being herded down to the clearing.

The base of the gorge becoming a dead end.

Knowing there was nowhere to run.


Fighting the immediacy of the urge to escape, I quickly captured some videos before hastily scrambling back up the trail. 


Nausea gripped my insides, my stomach in knots, until I reached the top and saw sunlight breaking through the trees.


Breathing in the relief, I allowed the light to bathe me in a soothing sense of safety. Back at my car, I noticed the hollow look in my eyes and the deathly pallor of my skin.


Once I was safely home, I began to process what I had experienced -

A deep, heavy grief.

The unresolved trauma of something that had unfolded there long ago.


At first, my human mind judged it harshly:

Why had I chosen this hike? What a mistake! How did I not see this coming?


But as I sifted through the emotions, I began to see the deeper meaning.


I was reminded that it wasn’t a mistake.

I started hearing loud and clear, that I was "sent" there.


That some of us are here to feel these energies, to witness the unspoken and unseen, and help transmute it.

To release what lingers in the wake of unresolved pain, and to offer healing -

To people, to places, and to the fragments of energy that remain.


It’s humbling to consider that this, too, is an important form of healing.


Most often, I see my role as a practitioner in a one-on-one context -

Supporting people as they go deeper into themselves to find healing and resolution.


It’s beautiful and essential work, but I’m learning that healing isn’t always about direct interaction.

It’s also not always about “love and light.”


Sometimes, it’s about being willing to feel the darkness.

To process it within ourselves and, as we grow in our own healing path, within the world around us too.


Sometimes, simply being present to what’s unhealed creates the bridge for healing.


And sometimes we already have (or are being nudged to develop) the skills to access healing in new ways.


How could this apply to you right now?


  • Sometimes, healing isn’t about fixing or changing, but simply about feeling – allowing emotions to move through us, wherever they come from.


  • Sometimes, it’s about being open to the heavier parts of healing – acknowledging them instead of avoiding them.


  • Sometimes, it’s about letting the unhealed parts of yourself or the world around you be witnessed, even if they don’t have immediate answers or resolutions.


How do you feel when confronted with the heavier parts of healing, whether in yourself or in the world around you?


Is there a part of the spectrum you aren’t allowing in right now?

What might it look like to simply be with that energy, instead of trying to change it or avoid it?


If you’re struggling or need support in navigating this process, I’d be honoured to help you.
