Many of you are having healing opportunities coming up for you concerning old hurts or mistreatment. This is a wonderful sign that you are ready to process that wound and release it, once and for all.

There is a pervasive belief that says that you must have closure from a person who hurt you in order to move on. This is a faulty belief, as it would put your healing in the hands of another. If a person was operating from a space that was hurtful to you in the first place, it is highly unlikely they will suddenly be able to offer any kind of healing or closure to you, not because they don’t want to but because they simply don’t have it to give. What is more likely is that you will be disappointed or wounded again because they haven’t yet evolved to a space that can give you what you are looking for.

Putting off your own healing waiting to be seen and acknowledged by the one who hurt you is a great disservice to yourself. We wish for you to understand that your healing does not come from there, and waiting for it to come from a source that doesn’t have it to give only keeps you stalled on your own healing journey.

You have everything you need to give yourself the peace and closure you need within yourself. Connect with the part of yourself that has been hurt. What does that part of you need? Acknowledgment? Kindness? Compassion? Acceptance? To be valued for your contributions and efforts? Sit and give that part of you every last thing they need. Then open your arms and welcome that part of you into your heart with your unconditional love and tender care, assuring them you will never allow them to be hurt in such a way again.

Dear Ones, that is exactly how you take back the reins of your own healing. You do not need the other person to finally get it. You could potentially wait lifetimes for that to occur. Drop the rope that keeps you tethered to the one who hurt you and prepare to move forward, unencumbered, whole and healthy, into your next great adventure, knowing your inner wise one is always there to give you exactly what you need, whenever you need it. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
