✨ You Don’t Have to Share the Wound to Begin the Healing

✨ You Don’t Have to Share the Wound to Begin the Healing

By Rachel Barnes | Rae of Light Wellness

“I experienced pain and betrayal in my childhood that shaped the way I saw myself—but today, I’m choosing healing, peace, and power. I share my journey not to revisit the past, but to remind others that healing is possible—even from the deepest wounds.”

I don’t need to tell you every detail of what broke me for you to understand the power of healing.

The truth is, many of us are carrying silent wounds from childhood—unspoken pain that shaped how we see ourselves and how we show up in the world. Maybe you learned to make yourself small to keep the peace. Maybe you felt unseen, unheard, or unloved when it mattered most.

My healing journey began the moment I stopped hiding from my story and started reclaiming my voice.
Not for attention. Not for applause. But for freedom.
For peace.
For me.

This isn’t about staying stuck in the past. It’s about remembering who I was before the world told me who to be. It’s about re-parenting my inner child with the love, validation, and protection I always deserved.

And if you’re walking this path too, I want you to know:
🌿 Healing is not only possible—it’s your birthright.
🌟 You are not broken.
🌟 You are not too late.
🌟 You are not alone.

💛 Gentle Steps to Begin Healing:

Here are a few things that have helped me (and may help you too):

  1. Speak kindly to yourself – the words you say inside matter more than you know.

  2. Create safe rituals – light a candle, say an affirmation, take slow breaths.

  3. Feel without shame – emotions aren’t the enemy. They are the language of healing.

  4. Seek support that sees your soul – whether it’s therapy, energy healing, or a sacred sisterhood, let yourself be held.

  5. Let joy return – you don’t have to be “fully healed” to laugh again, dance again, live again.

🌟 Affirmation:

"I release the need to hold it all alone. I am safe, I am healing, and I am becoming more whole each day."

Final Words:

You don’t need to prove your pain.
You don’t need to share every scar.
You just need to say: I’m ready to heal.
And that, love, is more than enough.

If you feel ready, you don’t have to walk this healing path alone.
You can schedule an energy session with me today, and we’ll gently begin the journey together. 💫

I’ll guide you through steps to help you reconnect with your inner self, release what no longer serves you, and begin healing from the inside out. Most importantly, I’ll help you remember how to be authentically YOU—without guilt, fear, or shame.

Your healing is sacred. Your truth is powerful. Let’s walk this path together.
