Today I choose to unpack the gift of my trauma.

Today I choose to unpack the gift of my trauma.

I choose to stop letting it weigh on my shoulders and to surrender it to my heart.

I choose to soften into grief and anger, if they show up in my experience.

I choose to melt into joy and awe, when they come knocking at the door.

I choose to let tears decide if they want to flow through sorrow or laughter, and to let myself be a channel for holy water to cleanse my inner world.

I choose to stop fighting, protecting, fleeing, denying.

I choose to accept what is and to feel all that what is has to teach me.

I choose to forget what is ready to be released and to remember what is ready to be embodied.

I choose to trust that Love has my back, my heart, my whole being—and that no past or future can undo me in the stillness of now.

I choose to see the wisdom and the healing that came from the wounds, not the outrage and inherited suffering. I choose to bathe my wounds in light as they heal and to stop rubbing them with salt unconsciously.

Today I choose to unpack the gift of my trauma—not to minimize or deny, but to honor, alchemize! and be free.
