What is a sacred wound and what is its connection to love and our soul mate? you ask. Here’s what Phillip, my spirit guide has to say about the sacred wound.
Phillip’s Wisdom
The Sacred Wound: A Conversation with Phillip
This is a question and answer session I had with Phillip about the sacred wounding.
Q. Phillip, what is a sacred wound?
A. It is the wounding the soul agrees to take on when entering human life for the purpose of healing the wound and evolving the species.
Q. Does everyone come into life with a sacred would to heal or is it only something that some of us take on?
A. All souls have a sacred wound, but not all recognize this to be so.
Q. How do we know what our sacred wound is?
A. It is written in the patterns of your life. Study these patterns and the sacred wound will reveal itself when the human being is ready to commence with healing.
Q. What are the types of sacred wounds we should look for?
A. In your world, the most common are abandonment, which springs from the physical or emotion abandonment of a child by one or more parent(s); lack of a sense of self, what you might call a lack of confidence in the self’s ability to live and thrive in this world, which comes from a lack of nurturing and encouragement during a child’s developmental years; depression and other mental illnesses, which is an inability to connect with the true spirit of the individual that is caused by childhood trauma and/or imbalances within the physical brain; and addiction that causes the individual to withdraw from life because of a lack of skills and brain function to cope with their own sensitivity, which is often caused by the shock of a new soul coming into Earth life or an older soul who has experienced this before and wishes to work on the healing of this wound.
The soul sets up the conditions for their life in accordance with what they choose to experience. For example, if a soul chooses abandonment as the sacred wound, that soul would choose to be born into a family where one or both of the parents leave the family through death or other means, is emotional unavailable, unavailable due to illness, or that soul might choose to be born to parents who are unable to raise the child, so the child is raised by another family with whom the child has soul ties.
Q. Can past lives influence the sacred wound we choose before we enter Earth life?
A. Other life experiences most certainly influence the soul’s choice of what to experience in this life. There is not always a direct correlation in that [for example] the abandonment wound does not always mean the individual was abandoned in another life experience, although that may be the case. It also could be that the individual abandoned someone and now wants to atone for that act, or that the soul just agrees to experience this wounding for the sake of helping the healing for all souls who experience it.
Q. Can this healing be completed in one lifetime?
A. Most definitely, but not all will do so. Before healing can take place, there must first be a recognition of the wounding, and then the desire to heal must follow. When there is a desire to heal, the means of doing so are given as they are able to be received and acted upon.
Q. How long does healing take?
A. Healing takes as long as it takes. The better question is to ask how does a person know if they are healed? The answer to this question is that when one is healed of the sacred wound the pattern that perpetuates the behavior that springs from the wound no longer rules the person’s emotional behavior.
Q. What happens if we ignore our sacred wound?
A. Those who ignore, or are unaware of, the sacred wound live more from the human self rather than from the deeper spirit self. This is not to say they never touch the deeper spirit self, but that most of their emotional responses are from the human self.
Q. How does the sacred wound affect our relationships?
A. Attraction for the other may come from the sacred wound. If this is the case and the wound is neither recognized nor healed, the relationship may be quite rocky and harmful rather than one of harmony and accord. It also is possible to have a normal relationship throughout a lifetime and be unaware of the sacred wound. There are many individual factors at work here.
The relationship between what we will call soul mates is a longing for a uniting with Spirit. These are the relationships that may work only on the deeper levels for the healing of the sacred wound in one or both individuals. These are often the relationships that stories and poems are written about. They are relationships that may not work for the coming together in the everyday life.
There are also relationship that work on the human level, but do not have the depth of the spiritual soul connection. If the couple stays together, they may or may not have the need to heal the sacred wound.
There are those couples who have both the deep spiritual connection and lives that work together in the human world. These are the sacred relationships where soul mates have come together to help heal the world at a greater level than they can do alone.
Q. What happens if two people come together who have the same sacred wound?
A. This depends on the growth of both people involved. These can be the most rewarding, but also the most difficult relationships. If healing has taken place, these are lasting relationships that can make the biggest leaps in healing the wounds of the world.
Q. Is there anything else I need to ask at this time on this subject?
A. This information is complete for a starting point at this time.
Thank you, Phillip.
Thank you dear one.
