Thanks for sharing this, we are all going through a process of healing and longing to become whole, knowingly or not. As long as you have the intention of healing and transforming the past, healing will happen and many forgotten and hidden things will hit the light of awareness.
I believe not only our mind but also our body, our organs and very cells will store unpleasant and traumatic memories if we cannot emotionally digest what is happening at a certain moment.
This memory will become subconcious and might manifest as dis-ease and subtle physical symptoms.
These symptoms are in a way signs of our emotional subtle body wanting to be recognized and to be released.
So healing and becoming whole can only happen through remembering and releasing old unpleasant memories and thereby be released.
In this spirit, wishing you all the best, keep it up, I admire your work, please have an excellent year 2018!
