This is the most powerful, creative, ENERGIZING, stabilizing move that you can make in your life.
Yes there is pain to heal in present-tense.
Past events create emotions that circulate in our minds and energy field. We have to tend to those emotions with total compassion—the fear, anxiety, grief that are the results of what happened… give those energies all grace and good care.
But as for the memories of the stressful events…
the mental replays of the incidents…
the rumination on the suffering that is robbing you of creating life force… we can break the habitual recall.
If your past is haunting you, walk in the other direction.
Starve the hungry ghost so that the ghost can cross over and find peace.
