A HOLY MESS - CHRISTIAN, ANXIOUS, REGRET, SHAME, GRIEF, AA
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
4. Mind, Body & Spirit Beings. Finding Healing in our mind, body and spirits as Christians and learning to take care of our whole being.
One of the most impactful books of my life! Bessel explains in detail how we hold trauma in our bodies as well. Bessel Van Der Kulk "The Body Keeps The Score"
Also, I once heard an impactful message by Dallas Willard talking about how just like the Trinity-- The Father, Son and Holy Spirit--We are triune beings as well. We are Body, Mind and Spirit. We are spiritual beings, we are mental beings and we have a physical body. But in the West we tend to separate them out. Sometimes we over emphasize one aspect one way or another. I share a story of a time when I had a crazy panic attack when a woman touched my neck in a kind gesture to pray over me, but because of unresolved trauma I went into straight panic attack. I didn't remember the trauma in my neck until that moment when she touched me. PTSD is very real and very difficult to walk through.
Verses mentioned:
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."-2 Corinthians 10:5
"Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?" - Romans 2:4
Quotes:
- Sometimes Jesus heals us in a moment, but sometimes Jesus uses a lot of little moments to heal us as well.
- If the Trinity confuses you, you are in good company! But the Trinity is absolutely real.
-Awareness helps us find healing.
-Empathy ushers in healing.
-What is repentance? It's just turning to Jesus.
-Is there something in your life that you need to bring a little more compassion to yourself for?
-You have permission to be complex, welcome to being human. And Jesus loves you because He created you that way.
Much love,
