The Dark Night of the Soul (How to Get Through it)

[@EliOfMilkyWay]

You have entered into a phase of your spiritual development where you’ve been stripped of the false things you used to hold so dear. Your ego is a barrier to the truth that you are a divine being having incarnated into a human body to have a human experience. You could try to go back to your old life and old ways but those would seem empty. The remedies temporary. The relationships shallow and uninteresting. See this part through. You’re being cleared of negative things by thinking of negative things. Stuff that you buried for years is being brought to the surface so stick with it and use it as an opportunity to find out what your soul really wants. Sit down, shut up and listen to what your soul and the Universe is trying to tell you. It does not want you to be in pain. The Universe is all about healing you. True healing takes time, patience and sacrifice. It’s always darkest before the dawn and trust me that…The Light Is Coming.

[@EliOfMilkyWay]

@apollw You won't ever cease to exist, unless you decide to be reincarnated in the next life after death and that will essential wipe your memory or essentially deep sleep for ever until someone awakes you. I know it can be hard to fathom, but all of our consciousness are connected through the spirit of our creator God. We live in God's consciousness. Death is a illusion. I know it's tough to think, but you are a egg made of flesh living on Earth, our host, and when you die, you will shed your shell and be living energy. You WILL wake up in a dream like state after death. You are energy, which your soul. You are much greater than science states. Science is missing a ton of information. It's only basic observations around us. Science is what is making people depressed. Science states you are plainly this or that, and that's it! Modern conventional science takes out the spirit, and ignores the greater philosophy in life. They ignore the inner universe in us all. Only following science makes you a drone..Your consciousness is a electrical field produced by biophoton energy. There is a good source of energy all around you and in you, and that is God. Never lose hope, for there is a afterlife. Follow the love teachings, such as with Jesus, Krishna, and Buddha and you will be okay in the next life!!

​@growingoaks What does the 45 have to do with this. Years ago I asked the Lord if I should get a gun, to hunt during a famine. He told me: You don't need any inventions. Can you relate to the disciples of Jesus in Getseamene, when Jesus said, "This is the hour and power of darkness." And after the Resurrection Jesus said to Peter "...When you will be old you will stretch forth your hands and Another will clothe you and carry you where you don't want to go. And this He spoke of what death Peter should die." Stretch for your hands is yielding to serve the Lord in what Jesus previously told Him, 3:time. Another refers to the Holy Spirit (Another comforter), "Will clothe you," A new identity, the (wedding garment: most of the Church doesn't have it yet except where there is persecution, we get it when we need it: the anointing of boldness to face persecution, Acts 4) carried by Holy Spirit in the sufferings of Christ. Can you understand that we only get Through this night carried by Holy Spirit, this is coming upon the whole world.

[@dreamsaresharedhere_]

I've been in this stage of healing for a year now. How painful it is, but being able to recognize the depth and vulnerability I am experiencing in myself has kept this painful time quite beautiful (not always 😆). My advice I would give to anyone going through this is do not listen to anybody in your life, but also remember that they want you to get better and they may be handling it in an immature way. At points in time I was manipulated which turned the dark night into a hopeless depression. Also keep in mind that its going to be intense. Remember to let it unfold as it intends to. The emotions are coming up from the child within. Be there for her/him. Earlier tonight was one of those intense moments. I had lost all control of what to do. I couldn't even sit for awhile, I was just standing there pretty terrified. That was until I gained the inspiration to sit down and meditate with solfeggio frequencies. This helped release emotions that were trapped in my heart. Anger came out, other strange emotional reactions came up, then a new wave of peace. That's the best part of the dark night. If you can sit with your pain and let it pass, a breakthrough always lies beyond and you come out stronger and more humble and compassionate.

That is a very good question...I have been in this for 2.5 years going on 3 with no end in sight although at times had glimpses at the light at the end of the tunnel. I experience situations of trauma and even did emdr therapy after a good six years nonstop of high level stress to where I basically lost myself (my spirit). However, everytime I got a little hopeful and when had enough energy to re-enter the world again, I continued to have issues (something was off) so I had more failures. Then the end of last year my two best friends died (both long time illness) plus I had a physical injury never had before which basically left me disabled for months. Then I made new goals to try again then COVID happened as well as a bad experience with a colleague. I think if 'life happens to you' constantly with little moments of uplift, it can continue going but for me it is scary because I can feel deep down it's not doing me good. I've experienced divorce, broken engagements, death before but I had a better support network and quickly got out of it (within two years totally rebounded and along the way felt stronger). This time, there is no lesson, no blessing, no strength just tiredness- even tried reiki and chakra balancing plus was thinking of doing a shamanic retrieval of the soul (even if a placebo affect I will do it!)...I think sometimes as life gets better, we get better. We don't live within a bubble and sometimes, we can't always pull ourselves up by our own boot straps if the laces are not just worn but broken in several places... just don't want this to become my identity. Good luck to you.

It has been 3 years, 3 weeks in respiratory isolation and 1 existential crisis in late 2020 when I began my dark night of the soul. It began bed alone struggling to breathe with severe COVID19. I literally had to hit pause on my life. I was forced to reevaluate my life from within. I haven’t yet right in my mind and my body since 2020. I have taken a lot of soul cleansing time alone. Prayer, praise and worship, exercising, fresh air, trauma therapy, checking in regularly with safe people. Healing is a spiritual journey that exposes your shadow self to you. It requires focus and endurance to take on this work. Typically it takes a tragedy or an act of G-d to force us into the dark night of the soul. It ain’t for the weak. I’ve been isolating for a while but for the first time in almost 3 years, I feel like I can begin to open up my world again. 🙏🏽 Thank you for this content it’s like a heart hug of validation. 🥰

Happy to say I’m finally ready for a relationship but there is a deeper level of healing i still must do. Honestly i feel once you start healing, you don’t ever stop. There’s no finish line, you just uncover more layers to yourself that you have to know and surrender and love. Its a wild journey and I’m surprised I’ve done it without guidance, at a young age.

[@TJBear]

@@umchileanywaysso I say this with kindness and compassion. The meditation would be helpful to address changes in the ability to slow down our racing or repetitive thoughts. It helps to notice our ability or inability to think differently, address fearful thinking and ways to work through and shed those thought processes. Getting outside and walking is a huge sign of progress as it is in opposition to isolating on the couch, and binge-watching TV or internet (her description). Exercise affords us fresh air, a surge in beneficial brain chemicals and our body gets to move and see the open expanse of the world outside our home. Hope that helps.

My 7 years old relationship ended and that bring me in this period. Alot happened in that time. I moved inward. I lost almost all my relationship except two best friends. I changed my career path. I think this time is about to end for me. It has been one and half years, and I'm so so thankful for whatever happened. Yes, it was very hard and painful but the result. I bow down to result 🙏. And the career i changed, very recently i felt protected. Turns out, i was crying for closed door that has nothing behind it. I'm always gonna cherish you Dr Nicole. 🌸🙏 Wish to get old reading and watching you ❤️

[@cantabrian1009]

I feel like I'm well and truly about to enter into this phase. As of yesterday, my relationship with my partner came to an end. I feel a deep sadness that it is no more, but I feel like it is what is needed for both of us to evolve. I have also come to the realisation that my 'friends' are probably no more than peripheral acquaintances. It's a peculiar paradox of emotions. On the one I hand, it feels isolating for I see that the bonds I had with them really didn't resonate truly to who I am. On the other, I feel as though my spirit has just taken a deep breath. I'm aware of genuine change within me and it feels right. I also am reminded of what good elements I have in my life, that I am thankful for. Thank you for all of your work, and all of your wisdom that you share.

[@persianshawn92]

Given that one clears themselves from any form of distraction (becoming inactive on social media platforms, going celibate etc.) for a period of time, then it really seems to enhance the overall experience of acceptance and surrender. I have not felt this emotionally liberated as long as I remember; when all the dark memories surfaced, there was no distraction that could numb the pain but all I could do was face said fear and memories and see things for what they were, not what they feel like. Essentially creating a new, objectively more correct narrative of our life.

Always good to hear another person, who’s experienced this, express that this is a normal process we need to surrender to when we can. Surrendering to it can be half the battle ❤

[@ksandsszz]

I started my healing journey after ending a relationship and I’ve never felt so alone. Surrender really resonated with me bc I am letting go of my need to always have someone I am super close with who can “parent” me. I’m now trying to be that person for myself, but it’s hard to watch other people seem to have all of those meaningful friendships/relationships you gave up bc they weren’t fulfilling. It’s very reassuring that there is a term for this period and I’ll try to keep this in mind as I’m moving through it.

I'm not sure how I ended up coming to find out about "DNOTS." I think it was a message. I've struggled with depression for most of my life. I was doing okay for a bit. Then the dark night hit. I knewww it wasn't normal depression. I recognized it as an existential crisis. DNOTS makes so much sense. My heart and love goes out to all of you going through this. I know it's tough.

Me right now. It's been going for a month, I think I passed the worst of it but there's still some left over. God, the things I have felt... fucking terrible. The memories, the emotions, the shame, just came pouring out. I also had to let go of my constructed identity. It's like when a snake sheds old skin. It's so painful but a necessary process.

[@E93209]

Thank you so much for this !!! This is why mainstream psychology fails people sometimes because we are spiritual beings as well ( no matter what religion I mean, we all have a soul) I have been in this phase. Forcing myself to be social forcing myself to hang on to dead relationships because psychiatrists thinks I'm wanting to play worldcraft in my basement. Or that I should be freaked out of being alone. No I love people, always have always will but I will focus on others when I'm ready. My soul has literally been begging me to let go and go inward. The old me is dying. I'm figuring the new me. My emotions are at an all time high and while if you feel called to hang out thats totally fine. I still socialise. But I have become okay with going within and loving myself and nurturing myself because this is the season. I'm in in my life right now and that is okay ! Honor that !

[@katherinemmann5248]

But hearing you experienced the same has brought me such comfort. I’m now patiently awaiting the new tribe.

[@noelkamara8025]

So. A few months ago, I ended a 4 year entanglement that catapulted me into this season of a spiritual transition. I started to realize that the identity I have known is not my true identity even by the slightest bit. Since then I analyzed more of my relationships, in which now I’m aware that they were built on false senses of intimacy. I’m in a season of this weird dissonance between my mind and my body. My soul has been craving intimacy and socialization. But when I’m around people I am socially anxious and overstimulated. Because of that desire to be social, for years I’ve ignored my body and continued to engage until it was time to go home. I have one best friend, and a distant relationship with my family. I love her but I crave more companionship. I feel like I don’t fit in while trying to discover who I really am. I feel very alone and unlike most comments, I’m not too fond of the isolation. Not sure of what lies ahead.

[@Vanessabobessa10]

Overstimulated during social settings. Almost like im desperate to connect. Word vomit. Then feeling stupid for oversharing. Half of its tmi and negative. Im screaming in my head asking why im sharing but dont stop. Which is odd cuz im private. I realize now ive come out of isolation too soon

I wanted to run away and end my life because of what I was going through and went through in life. My angels heard my cry. My twin flame came into my life i couldn't understand who he was either until he made me change my life. I am in a transformation of change and spiritual awakening. I put the alcohol and bud down. I surrender and face my problems. I let my kramic bf go. Im at number 3 on the list. It took me about 4 years to wake up after my twin flame made me realize what i needed to do in my life. I am going through this spiritual awakening for myself and to have a divine loving relationship with my twin flame in the future. I understand know why i kept seeing 111, 1111, 222, 333, 555, and 1010. Trust the process it's worth it.

[@creayoga]

The video presents an interesting and I think true perspective on this. More broadly, the dark night is often understood as a phase of "darkness" following an experience of mystical illumination, because after such an experience, one becomes more sentient of the contrast between illumination and a darker way of being. The presenter's perspective on this is consistent with this because, obviously, one must somehow have attained a sense of being more illumined in order to better be able to feel what it is to be "out of alignment."

I have been involved in healing in relationship with my partner of 18 years now. We both have C PTSD and are on the narcissistic spectrum.

Thank you so much Dr. Lepara. I needed to hear this🙏🏻❤️. I've been suffering really really bad from chronic anxiety and chronic OCD for 3 years now. This healing journey is soooo hard, messy and chaotic, often times I feel just stuck, fighting this feeling seems to only make it worse, as well as the anxiety and the ocd thoughts. I'm learning to accept being stuck and of course the thoughts and the anxiety and lean in in compassion for myself🙏🏻. Could you also do a video or a post about OCD? Feel like this is a topic, that's really not talked about enough, there needs to be more awareness to Ocd. Also, it's misunderstood, Ocd is NOT just washing hands and liking everything clean and organized, it's having your worst nightmares before your eyes 24/7, it's excruciating. There are people out there who suffer so bad from Ocd, such as POCD, who actually take their life's, because they don't get the help they need and believe that the feelings, urges and sensations they feel, are true. Breaks my heart... This needs to be more talked about! I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it, if you could also talk about this.

This may not be what you need, but I’ve found a guided yoga nidra class (local, donation-based) to be helpful to me. (If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s a relaxation practice, not physical yoga.) Meditation itself is also generally good for mental health, but my own experiences have shown me that it may be possible to activate obsessive energy in certain meditation attempts (such as when I, a novice meditator, attended a 10-day vipassana retreat... it’s an amazing resource and was soo educational. But I did learn in retrospect that I was stressed and applied obsessive consciousness to trying “hard” to meditate “right,” or really “fighting” my own nature... I feel yoga nidra allows me to experience real mindfulness, or much more of what is healing, compared to how I sometimes approach vipassana) I also am looking into ayahuasca ceremonies, for myself. Psychedelics have tremendous and incredible healing potential, but of course must be done safely (and the ayahuasca industry is full of places that don’t observe proper precautions and practices). BUT it has saved many peoples lives. That or mdma therapy. But that isn’t as accessible yet. In any case, these are methods to heal emotional trauma and rewire the brain. Psychedelics facilitate actual rewiring/(re)growth of neurons. It’s incredible. But, again... ayahuasca has been a traumatic experience for those who experience it in an unsafe setting, or where the proper support is not made available for processing the experience afterward. Lots of people are profiting from it, and disregarding safety. If you’re interested in hearing more, I’ve done a fair amount of research and am aware of what to look for in a retreat center. However, the only places that I believe i know to be trustworthy are located outside of the US. Of course, these things may not be right for you... only you can determine if they are or are not. It’s a little crazy to recommend psychedelics to an Internet stranger. But the healing potential is unlike anything else in the world at this time. (I’ve also heard good things about EMDR, tapping/EFT; exercise has occasionally been an awesome balancing influence for my mind and emotions- when I can maintain a routine of vigorous exercise.) Maybe something here is helpful to you. Good luck. It’s a good sign if you’re on a healing journey and aware of what healing you need. That’s a huge victory. My own journey has been lifelong, and I feel like the Ayahuasca and the meditation will be the most transformative for me, and I will use the rest of my knowledge and resources to facilitate my success.

Hello and thanks for the video. A few people have commented regarding the difference between mental illness and the dark side. The difference between the two is obviously very subtle. Personally I am in a living hell each day with barely no respite. I have lost connection with my four children at home. My wife hates me for what I have become and wants me to leave after the lockdown. I have been like a shell of my former self who to be honest I don’t actually recognise who I was that much but also who I am now. I have read all of Claire Weekes books who teaches the practice of acceptance. I honestly don’t know how long I have been like this but I do know it’s absolutely harrowing and I will often hide in the toilet to cry silently no one can hear me or see me. I want so much to be better but because of the way I feel, I have let most things slip in my life and this causes more problems and so much worse thoughts-feelings and symptoms. I find it difficult to get across how the feelings are. I can’t even imagine how things are going to be in the very near future and I feel totally incompetent to do anything. Just walking my dogs is so so difficult

[@iliachulsky]

I was a professional bass player here in Israel, which I know is a dream job for many people. But I could never turn it into a stable career and gathered some really bad experiences alongside the good ones. So when I was 30 I realized I no longer aspire to be a bass player in this country. For the past 2.5 years, I have been on a journey of self-discovery. Starting from feeling like I'm completely lost in the world to slowly finding out what interests me, trying out different jobs, meeting different people and mostly asking myself a lot of difficult questions. I always felt like I don't belong in Israel, my parents have always been toxic, and I never managed to build long-term relationships. So I always felt alone here and fantasized about moving abroad, but this has never been possible. I'm trying to find my way to go abroad despite the hurdles, and this has been in the core of the decisions I took throughout this journey. On November I travelled to Madrid and took a TEFL(English teacher) course, hoping that it will allow me to find jobs and travel the world. But after I graduated, I found out that because I only have an Israeli passport and no degree, it's pretty much impossible for me to go abroad and work. So here I am back in Israel, feeling extremely lonely and miserable, trying to recalculate my path, again. The best way I found to explain my feeling during this period of my life is that it feels like I'm climbing a cave wall and I can't see the light at the top, but I have to keep climbing to find out what's on the other side. I hope that this is truly just a period and that one day I'll climb out of this cave. If anyone reading this has any suggestions, please let me know. And if you are going through similar soul searching, I hope you find your way soon and be happy with your life. We all deserve to live a full life.
