Self- Healing and Child Abuse

One day at my apartment I was talking to a group of 5-6  girls ( aged 27-31yrs) when the topic of abuse came forth. It turns out each and every one was abused sexually as a child to a lesser or greater extend. Most managed to escape from the predator but the scars which some had were to haunt/upset them for the rest of their lives.

Most of the people abused as children would have never uttered a word to their friends/parents about the pain and would'v led their adult lives normally. It is sad to know that most people still subconsciously live with it and for some it keeps affecting them in some way or the other i.e feelings of rejection, abandonment, rigid, relationship issues, trust issues, fear,guilt, unresolved anger  etc. It is pain and hurt which is known only to the one who has been through it.

I know that it takes great guts, courage, time, patience to come forth and talk openly about a childhood abuse to anyone especially if the feeling of guilt, fear, injustice or non -acceptance from society are still deep rooted within.
With personal experience one must learn and understand that sometimes apart from oneself no-one else can help  ---" You are your own healer "

Reiki and Spiritual healing is one such mode of helping yourself or others in overcoming Child Abuse.

Reiki Self- Healing -

Others Ways to Heal self- 

• Forgive yourself & forgive the abuser. Write your feelings on a piece of paper about the incident then and now ( it can be ugly, sad, angry feeling) and close it by writing " I forgive you" and burn the paper. Do it as many number of times required.
• Sit in a meditative position, take deep breaths until you feel relaxed. Let your mind wander about the abuse incident till the point you think it is baseless and no-longer a part of your identity.
• Sit in a meditation position alone in a quiet place, take deep breaths and be relaxed. Start talking out your feelings aloud as if you telling the abuser how you felt and how is it hurting you till date.
• Remember you re not alone, try talking to people who have been through similar experiences and encourage self and others to move ahead.
• Keep a feelings chart- you might be surprised to see that some events or incidents trigger similar feelings, so work on with yourself or psychologist to how to improve.
• Never ever blame yourself
