How to heal a broken heart

[@WildwoodVagabond]

Helloooo! I few things I didn’t mention in the video: Healing is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. As we go up in levels of self development we uncover new layers. It isn’t something we should “navel gaze” about or spend too much time “searching” for things to be healed in us, but rather be conscious of the things that we need to release and heal as they come up. We should never judge the emotions that come up to be healed but instead acknowledge them and make space for them to be felt followed by surrendering any unforgiveness attached to them. I truly hope this was helpful for people. I wish you all the best on your journey to unbecoming all that you’ve been told you are, as you come into alignment with your highest and best version of yourself. So much love love to you! ❤️

I have over 20 different size scars on my body - I rather would have takem them all at once than the one I got in my heart ages ago.

[@WildwoodVagabond]

@@MustaLaatta I’m sorry to hear that. There is hope for healing that scar on your heart. I’m sending a lot of love your way ❤️🥰🌞

[@WildwoodVagabond]

@Maria Lindell thanks so much for your feedback and encouragement ❤️🥰

[@Airbubblepodcast]

I agree with you! I have done that and i have felt much better. Somethings are unforgivable but still i forgave anyways. In dont think its bad though to believe they will get theres and karma will get them! I don’t believe they will get away with it.

[@billing100]

To me it looks that these videos are part of your healing and it is great that you have change to do these. Good for all of us. Thanks for all of those...

[@WildwoodVagabond]

I agree with you. I have recently come to understand it to be this way too. This whole YT journey has been a huge part of my healing. I’m glad you’re here! Take care and lots of love to you

[@tragedienne1]

Thank you for this! I think I have almost gotten addicted to hating certain people in my life, almost like a self-righteous feeling. But it is my own shame I suffer from, feeling ashamed for certain situations, and I try to turn the tables in my head, making them feel ashamed instead. They probably dont care, and they have moved on - probably hurting other people. This fuels my anger even further. Its a vicious cycle and some days I feel rage and resentment, and I am sure it takes a toll on my stress levels and physical health. I tried the exercise you guided us through, and started crying. I could not forgive those people, maybe someday in the future, but I was able to feel forgiveness towards myself, for wasting so much time and energy on being angry and bitter. I guess that is a start! :) Thanks again!!

[@WildwoodVagabond]

You made the right choice to try though! That’s what’s important. I’m proud of you for taking the courage to try. I’m also glad to hear you were able to forgive yourself. Sometimes that’s the hardest person to forgive. You’ll see freedom from this. You’re already self aware so that means you’re on the right track and in the midst of the process of healing already. Sending you lots of love!

[@Nivaluna]

I honestly love the direction this channel is going! I was always thinking that you probably have a lot of insight and wisdom to share with the world, hoping you actually would at some point - And here you are 😊 Keep it going and do what you feel is best for you

Love this, especially the part about strong emotional reactions that don't match the situation.

[@WildwoodVagabond]

Glad to hear!

You are a lovely person. I liked your video. It really was a different, but this video is also important. I have a broken heart too, and I feel bitterness and hate towards some people from my childhood. I understand the importance of forgiven and I'm still working on it. After 35 years I have found something but there are still a lot pain and hate in my heart. I think the prosess will never end, but I know it's possible to ease these difficult feelings. I hope you have interest to make more these videos. I find these videos very important. Althought my childhood was very difficult and I had a bad start, I can also say, I have learnt a huge amount of things about life and living. There is a saying my doctor once said, "I have never seen a strong person, who have had an easy life."

[@WildwoodVagabond]

Thanks for taking the time to share! It’s great that you’re able to take something from it and be empowered. I really like that quote by the way! So true

[@anukoo87]

Oh this sure WAS for me, it came right when I needed it. I´m holding a grudge for my ex who replaced me in 3 months after leaving me, though we were together for almost 10 years. It´s still hard to believe, it´s hard to believe that it isn´t my life anymore and someone else is there for him when I truly believed we´d be together till the end. I did this exercise with tears streaming down my face and really tried to forgive him. Will do this as many times as needed, I don´t want to feel this way anymore. Thank you, I hope I will succeed!

[@WildwoodVagabond]

Ouch 😣 I’m so sorry to hear that. But you took the biggest and most difficult step today towards healing. It’s only up from here. I found forgiveness to be the hardest part. I’m so proud of you. It takes courage and you showed that ❤️ sending lots of healing energy your way. Thanks for sharing 🥰❤️😚

@@WildwoodVagabond Your video of the full moon ritual was really inspiring. I sometimes go to forest by myself and stay there for a weekend with just a knife and water bottle as a sort of mind cleansing ritual. It is so good to remind us how our ancestors lived and made it possible that we are here.

[@AlmightyNorppa]

My heart is just scarred and calloused. Lots of betrayal in the past so I've build a wall to shield myself. It is very difficult for me to form an emotional bond with people. I'm engaged now, but the journey to get to the love was long and filled with doubts and suspicion.

[@WildwoodVagabond]

I feel you! I’m glad to hear your engaged now and taking risks again. I wish I would’ve mentioned this in the video but, I found that learning to trust people again is like working out a weak muscle. The more you strengthen that muscle the stronger it gets. Same goes with opening up to become vulnerable and trust again. Just keep working out that muscle! Best wishes to you ❤️🥰

My key to forgiveness is remembering that trauma breeds trauma. If somebody causes you trauma, they, more than likely, come from a line of trauma themselves. I agree that self awareness is very important. I was damaged as a child and I have been hurt as an adult, but I have definitely caused pain, as well. I lost eight years of my life, in a daze over what I thought was a "broken heart" until I realized that it was deeper than that and went much further back than eight years. I recognized that I was laying blame where it didn't belong and that I was also making some major mistakes, then this philosophy of forgiveness and self awareness began to form and I haven't looked back. That's my long winded way of saying that this is a very important video. Awesome job, once again ;)

[@WildwoodVagabond]

This is so true. Thank you for taking the time to share this. Take care. Much love to you

[@annmarie6870]

I was discarded on Dec 24th but I was trying to break up with the man even before that I believe because I saw some really toxic behavior in him and was dreaming some really bad dreams about him. Of me walking away or him moving away. It ended on Christmas and it took me a long long time to be present and sober. Today I had a job interview and I did not want to go but I kept telling myself “just show up and do the next best thing.” So that’s what I did and I ended up getting a job that day.

Hi! Yes we are still together! In a couple months we will reach our 3 year mark. Thank you for your encouraging feedback. I appreciate it. It seems like us HSP and Empaths often have quite a bit of trauma to work through. It can be a challenge at times but also it’s worth going through the process. Much love to you!

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

the unforgiveness (poison) you keep to make them feel bad, doesn´t affect them, but poisons only yourself. I know that in theory. but sometimes it can be so hard to forgive. I´ve got a very scarred heart. I think I´m too sensitive. my "wall" or "shield" is almost impenetrable. but I should give it a try. thank you, rachel. best wishes from germany.

[@WildwoodVagabond]

So true! Thanks for sharing your experience. It takes courage to even try, so I am proud of you for that! It’s not an easy thing to do by any means but if you set the intention to forgive it will come in time. Also, about being “too sensitive”, you might be what’s called a Highly Sensitive Person (it is scientifically a thing) or an Empath. These are actually superpowers! But we need to learn healthy boundaries because we do seem to “feel” more than others. At times it can seem like a curse but in reality when we learn to use it to our advantage we can be vessels for healing. There are a lot of videos about HSP’s and Empath’s on YT. I recently discovered I was an Empath and it made my whole life make sense. Sending you so much love from Texas!

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

@@WildwoodVagabond thank you so much for your kind and so encouraging words, rachel. this is really no easy subject. I can sense some real courage and inner strength in you. I cannot imagine, what you´ve overcome. but compared to that my scars seem not so big anymore. much of love and thanks again.

[@sandracarli1110]

Oh, snap! You are in Texas and a Texan hurt me in the past. I couldn't let go off my judgement. His behaviour was simply not fair but in my mind I did let him go and forgave him. It's important to learn the lesson (especially if it was tough) and move on.

[@MrArnoltti]

Hi. Sure this clip was different. You were pretty as usual. Forgivness is possible after shock, burst of mixed motions. Sometimes it will take couple days to calm down.. sometimes we have to walk away to get power forgive.

[@WildwoodVagabond]

So true! Thanks for sharing

[@nathan2813]

The problem with forgiving, say if someone screwed you out of money, is you're still wrongly without the money, and you're effectively REWARDING the person that did it! Thus, they'll only be encouraged to go do it again to you or someone else! Same with relationships. If your partner cheats on you and you forgive, they'll just do it again. I don't recommend always just leaving the relationship. Rather, see if you can fix it first. Try to understand the other person's feelings and actions and see if you can have some compassion. Then, see if you can agree on a solution. With time you'll see if that person's motivated and sincere and able to keep his word. THAT should indicate if you can forgive. If not, then break up and forgive YOURSELF by saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." If you WERE fooled twice, forgive yourself still, learn from it, and vow not to be fooled a THIRD time. In general, it's SO-O-O much easier to just find a new love that ALREADY has the qualities you want than to try to train your old love to have them. Some might argue you can't just find a new father, mother, brother, sister, or grandparents. You CAN though - they're called FRIENDS. Don't let social norms tell you you have to have a loving relationship with any of these people if your hearts and minds really aren't in it. That just wastes everyone's time they COULD be spending with more like-minded people. I'm not saying push them out of your life completely. Rather, just limit your interaction to subjects and issues you harmonize on.
