The Ego slithers in the dark. It reaches with its black wisps to the subconscious and slowly seeps to the conscious. It plants its dark and negative storytelling, sprouting into what you believe to be Reality. It transforms a sunny day into one with torrential rain and dark gloomy clouds. Anger, resentment...whatever wounds and trauma you are trying to heal from it will expose them to this dark fantasy. You will believe others are talking about you behind your back, that there isn't anything worth doing... as you go crazy and let yourself be consumed in its "reality" it becomes stronger until you are no longer able to differentiate the Ego's storytelling from Reality. It feeds on your negative emotions, encouraging misunderstandings, flared tempers, pity parties, anything to keep you to itself to feed on. Some of us live day to day not knowing this darkness that is consuming us prevents us from having a better life open to more opportunities with less invisible burdens on our shoulders and mind. It can take many years and many failed attempts, but as you focus on the shining light with clear skies around you, trapping the darkness in a box, realizing that it is only but our body's survival habits that were picked up in an environment that was harsher than we realized, you will realize that this storm was necessary to transform into someone who is strong enough to weather through any storm and enjoy the peace and calm. We are the weather forecasters of our reality's weather. Regulating the body, processing trauma and emotions, learning about how our body and mind work, will get us to our clear skies. We are all alchemists able to transform negative thoughts and emotions into healthy understanding and balance.
