Quote of the Week
“You cannot erase memories but you can let go of the heavy energy that is attached to them.”
- Diego Perez (writing under the pen name Yung Pueblo)
Heavy Memories
Words spoken, and actions taken, can never be unspoken or undone. When those words are negative, they leave a heaviness that must be unburdened.
One of the things that I and others in my field do is help people allow the heavy energy that they are carrying around flow through their bodies and out. To learn that actions are often not personal but symptomatic; that words spoken by someone who is flooded are about self-defense more than actual belief; that resentment is a burden that interferes with healing.
We can heal from memories and our past as long as the hurts don’t continue, repetitively, in our lives creating new injury. This is the power of learning how to manage ADHD symptoms and responses to the symptoms – moving away from entrenched patterns towards a future in which your memories no longer carry ‘heavy energy’.
