Hurting or helping?
More often than not, we lash out at and blame the people who hurt us, but in time, when the heartbreak or mind(break), however we perceive it, has had the time it needs to exist and then to fade or melt away, we may be blessed with the perception of what really played out. And it is in those moments of light and truth that we can see that the very people who we think hurt us the most, actually helped us the most.
Samskara, (a Sanskrit word), refers to the impressions left from memories we have, that still carry an energetic charge within us. These imprints, may come from a memory or an experience in this lifetime; usually childhood, when we process an event or experience in a different way to how we might interpret it or understand it as an adult. Or Samskara may be carried over from a past life, for the very purpose of healing and clearing it in this lifetime.
Sometimes, not always, those who hurt us, may actually be serving as a helpful little signpost to that Samskara we need to heal. It takes time to see that, especially if we are still in the pain, but when we do, we have the opportunity to find the root of our reactions, which very well may not be the person or people who directed us to it. Once we recognise it, we can then heal and clear it completely, and from there live unbound by that Samskara.
