Healing, Through Removing and Releasing the Past

Twelve years after saying my final goodbye to the love of my life, my heart decided it was time to face the pain, once again. This time I needed to lovingly release Jim in order to take ownership of my life’s direction and purpose.

It started with the removal of his archery targets… the ones he’d made to practice shooting in our home. The archery range in our basement held his targets, bows, arrows, and hunting gear for twelve years. The range became a space for everything that needed a home. Even though the items were “out of sight,” and “out of mind”, there was always a feeling, in the back of my mind, of unfinished burdens.

The thought of even walking through the doors of the archery range was daunting, and in a way, haunting. Memories and feelings of sadness flooded back to me, as I was reliving the grief and heartbreak, one more time.

Through the help of ION5, a magical mineral solution, the healing tears flowed gently down my cheeks. It wasn’t until I opened the containers of hunting gear that I started to wail… the sound of my crying gave me a start. I’d never heard myself cry so loudly and with such violent, gut-wrenching sobs.

It was then that I felt like I’d faced my fears and started the healing process. Up to that point, I’d busied myself in my everyday life and closed off my heart which was desperately yearning to heal.
