Oftentimes we don’t want to go into the darkness because we are scared of what we will discover.

It is only in the darkness that we find out what we are truly made out of and just how much we are willing to fight the battle.

It is in the darkness that we understand that we fear the light the most.

Anyone who comes from an unhealthy background, situation, family, trauma, survival etc knows exactly just how the addictions, the lies, the cheating, stealing, manipulation was a “normal” way of living and just how hard it is to not only break those habits but to truly become healthy and break free from those general patterns, mindsets and genetic makeup.

Trauma is stored in the body and oftentimes alcoholism, substance abuse, sexual addictions, eating disorders, mental dis-eases are passed down for many generations until a warrior in the family comes in and breaks them… with every last bit of strength that is dormant within.

It is in the dark soul contract of sacrifice that healing is birthed for you and others.

It is in the dark soul contract of sacrifice that we see just what we are truly made of and those around us that love us unconditionally.

It is in small whispers of demons taking over your actions/thoughts, the loud roars of the demons fighting for control, the darkness overriding your thoughts and you feeling as though everyone is against you and are your biggest enemy.

It is in the small spaces where you choose addictions over your loved ones, where you choose addictions over your dreams, where you no longer have control and isolate yourself from anything that could be healthy, long lasting and call you higher.

Anyone who has ever struggled with darkness, addictions or even the dance with death understands that it is in these darkest moments that you are fighting for so much more, that your soul is calling out for you and that you are fighting a large battle in front of you that you have no idea how to fight let alone feel like anyone is there to support you when in fact you have so much support around you, but can not see due to the isolation and darkness that clouds the mind- but that is okay because the support will still be there for you when you are ready to receive.

The fight is an everyday battle and there are always moments where you no longer want to fight, no longer want what is healthy, no longer want to be in the light.

It is in these moments that you take things into your own hands out of pain and dance with the darkness once again.

It is in the darkness that feels safe, it is what is known, it is in the darkness that you feel something (anything), it is in the darkness that you play between worlds and feel invincible and back in control of your life.

If you have fought a long battle of darkness most of your life there is not only art in the dance but also so many lessons… as they lead you to the most spiritual awakening of all.

There is a power to the warriors of darkness just as there is to the warriors of light. The battle of dark and light has two extremes and it is only in the balance that we are able to understand both sides and the power and beauty of both as each births lessons and strengths.

If you are fighting a battle right now know that you are not alone and there are many fighting alongside you.

If you need help please make sure to get the help and know that there is always light in the darkness.
