Welcome to My World
Healing from any emotional trauma can be the hardest thing we ever do. With the variety of life challenges that any one of us can experience, it isn’t surprising that so many of us are not equipped to heal, let alone face, the deep pain from emotional trauma. Whether, it’s grief, loss or any other emotional wound, every one of our experiences is unique and there are no one size fits all solutions. The Simple Heart Sanctuary is a place to find the tools, techniques and support you need to navigate your healing path. Whether you have begun to heal, are struggling to move forward, or don’t know where to start, The Simple Heart Sanctuary is at a crossroad in your healing journey.
Are you feeling stuck?
There are things that happen in our lives that make us feel powerless or hopeless. We ask “Why me?”. Sometimes, it’s more than one thing or lots of things, big and small, and our lives feel like they are completely falling apart. The “Why me’s?” then start to pile up to the point that we feel completely out of control and we no longer see solutions, just more and more problems. We may even get to a point where we just expect our lives are going to be hard and that suffering is our new normal.
We empower people who feel like life is “happening to them” find the deeper meanings and lessons in their experiences so they can move forward.
Are you feeling lost?
Sometimes we get to a point in our lives when we don’t know what we are doing. Our lives, through whatever series of events, have become a series of actions we “have to do” and nothing holds any meaning or joy anymore. We fall into a pattern of existing, muddling through our daily lives without a clear path, just staying alive but no notion of what we want for ourselves and our future. We sometimes try to move one way or another, but find that without a clear direction, we are inclined to just give up.
We empower people who are feeling lost find the alignment of their path and purpose.
We are born with a Simple Heart. A heart filled with love and joy, wonder at the smallest and simplest things, and an expectation that we will always receive kindness and love. Then as we grow, we experience other things, meanness, cruelty, loss, grief, abandonment, and the innocence of our childhood is lost. Little by little, chunks of that Simple Heart are broken, and to protect what’s left, we become hardened. We build walls around ourselves to keep out the bad things, but inadvertently also keep out the good. We find ourselves isolated, but aching for love, compassion and understanding, too afraid to reach out because we have been hurt so many times it is no longer worth the risk. Can we live like that for the rest of our lives? Do we want to? What if we can restore that Simple Heart by finding ways to see the things that happened “to us” as things that have happened “for us” so that we can learn and grow into the best possible version of ourselves?
