We understand that it can seem daunting if you have the same issue you’ve been healing come up over and over again. We would like to give you some new perspective on that process today.

While you certainly can and do heal in layers, there is another aspect that can be happening if a theme keeps popping up for you. It may be that your former wounded self is simply exploring and creating safe attachment within you.

When you have identified an area that needs healing, the aspect of you that has been seeking the love and support it needs from you will come to the forefront and make itself known. If you can sit with it, acknowledge it, listen to what it requires, and give it everything it needs in that moment, it will settle down and begin the process of integrating back into wholeness.

But just like a child that is seeking to grow and expand, that aspect may need to test its security by bubbling up and seeking to be welcomed back into your love and acceptance many times until it settles into knowing it is truly safe, secure, and always an important and beloved part of the whole.

Do you see? If something you’ve been healing rears up again, it is a sign that you are truly making progress on your integration journey back into wholeness. And before you know it, if you are consistent in always receiving that aspect back into your loving care with your patience and reassurance, it will kick up less and less, and peace and wholeness will prevail. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
