Luna’s Journey: The Gift in the Dark Cave

Zicatela Beach, Puerto Escondido, Mexico.

Luna had always felt different. From a young age, she carried a heaviness in her heart that she couldn't quite explain. Her childhood was marked by deep pain, feelings of loneliness, feeling unseen, and the constant ache of wondering why she wasn’t enough. Her family, though loving in their own way, seemed to be trapped in their own struggles. There were generations of unspoken wounds, patterns of silence, and emotions buried deep beneath the surface.

As Luna grew older, she found ways to survive the pain. She built walls, wrapped herself in busyness, and did everything she could to numb the ache. But no matter how much she tried to escape it, the emptiness followed her. It wasn’t until she hit a breaking point, when everything seemed to fall apart, that she realized something had to change. The old ways of hiding, no longer worked.

One night, Luna had a dream. In the dream, she stood before a dark cave, its entrance looming like a mouth ready to swallow her whole. Fear gripped her, but at the same time, she felt a pull. Something was inside that cave, something she needed to face. A voice whispered to her, "The treasure you seek is in the cave you fear to enter."

When she awoke, she knew that her journey wasn’t about escaping her past but about going deep into it. She had to face the wounds of her childhood, the stories she had long buried, and the fears she had avoided for so long. It was time to walk into the darkness.

Luna decided to begin the journey inward. With the help of a guide and her own determination, she revisited the painful moments of her past, the times when she felt invisible, the trauma that had passed through her lineage. She cried the tears she had held back for so long and screamed into the silence that had consumed her.

But as she went deeper into the cave, something began to shift.
​
As she discovered her pain, she was present to the pain in her, and that act opened her to profound healing. She realized that her pain had given her a unique perspective, a strength she hadn’t seen before. Her pain had encouraged for her to develop the strength of deep listening, of deep love, and connection with the whole. It was her superpower, and now the ability to heal herself and, through that, help others heal too.

The moment she fully embraced her pain, something profound happened. Luna felt a warmth wash over her, as if a great weight had been lifted from her Soul.

It wasn’t just her pain that had healed, it was her entire story, her entire lineage. In that moment, she could feel her Ancestors standing behind her, smiling at her with pride and love. They had carried their own burdens, passed down through generations, but Luna was the one who had chosen to break the cycle. By healing herself, she had healed the pain of her family. She had healed the pain of humanity. And now, she was no longer bound by the past, and in her heart, she felt a deep blessing from her Ancestors. They were with her, supporting her as she moved forward.

With this newfound light inside her, Luna stepped out of the cave, transformed. She understood now that the darkness wasn’t her enemy, it was the place where her light had been waiting to be found. She was no longer afraid of the shadows. Instead, she embraced them, knowing that they were part of her power.

As Luna walked into her future, she carried with her the treasure she had uncovered, the gift of her story, her strength, and her ability to guide others through their own darkness. She knew that her mission in life was to share this light with the world, to help others see that within their pain lies their greatest potential. By walking through the cave, by healing herself, Luna had found not only her true self but also her purpose.

Her Ancestors smiled upon her, and she felt their love guiding her forward, blessing her every step. She knew now that everything she had gone through was part of her Soul journey, her superpower, and her gift to the world.

Luna stepped into her future, her heart filled with the light she had uncovered. Her journey through the darkness was not in vain, it had led her to her strength, her Soul Purpose, and her healing.

And just like Luna, you too have the power to find your light, no matter how deep the cave may seem. You are worthy of healing, of love, and of standing in the fullness of your heart. Remember, the treasure you seek is already within you.

If you’re ready to begin your journey, I invite you to work with me one-on-one. Together, we’ll uncover the gifts that are waiting to be found.

I can’t wait to walk this path with you!

with love and care,
