MILKY WAY BLOG
Lisa Kay's Milky Way Blog will dive into the deep end of one soul's journey to heal a chronic illness diagnosis by following the breadcrumbs from spirit through chakra balancing, crystal dreaming, breathwork, QHHT, reiki, and so much more. Follow along on this spiritual journey in the Milky Way Collective!
Long story short, I’ve been putting this off.
The world is calling for me to start sharing my voice in a really big way and I thought what better time to birth this new era than on the spring equinox?
If you followed along on my soul journey in 2021, you would know that I’ve been spiritual my whole life, but like most people in my metaphysical shoes, I shut down my gifts. Looking back now, I can see I was built for a world that didn’t yet exist. I felt out of place, alone, longed to go back home, and tried my best to just be “normal.”
I suffered with depression most of my life and although I don’t think back on any one time as being a “spiritual awakening,” I had many on-the-bathroom-floor dark nights of the soul. The thing that continued to get me through the most challenging times in my life was this deep knowing that I was here for a reason.
Healing the Witch Wound
This is going to be a long one, but I had a profound transformation this week and want to share as much detail as I can about the experience and how I got here. As is the case with so many spiritual healings, the work started months ago. I found myself in a situation where I was running (aka fight or flight) away from my workplace after a confrontation. My heart was racing and I couldn’t think straight, but I knew I had to get out of there. I headed towards the Lake Michigan shoreline for its calming effect, but it was probably an hour later before my system had regulated. I don’t know exactly because I ran away with only the crystals in my pocket at the time.
Discovering the Witch Wound
After I had completely come back to myself, maybe days later, I actually became aware that the life-or-death feeling in my body was triggered by being falsely accused. My logical brain knew I was in no physical danger, but my body did not. Once I recognized what was happening, I was able to connect it to my witch wound.
The witch wound is a metaphorical term referring to collective trauma experienced during the “Burning Times,” a 300-year period when spiritual women were accused of witchcraft and persecuted. This deep-seated fear, shame, and suppression of power can manifest in this lifetime as fear of being seen or speaking your truth.
Once I was aware of this, I could see its thread woven through the fabric of my entire life. And just a couple of months later, I was presented with another opportunity to face false accusations. I literally said to myself, “Didn’t I just do this?!”
Seeing Through the Weeds
I've decided I need to engage in writing therapy more often. During my soul journey in 2021, I was journaling every day and then translating those musings into real life lessons. The process of purging thoughts through writing helped me better evaluate what my day-to-day activities were showing me on a larger scale. So here I am, ready to start again.
To say I've been through a great deal over the last couple of years would be the understatement of this lifetime. It's definitely too much to download here, now, in this short space. I trust that the lessons I have been learning will come up again, and I will have the opportunity to integrate them more fully and share those experiences as they arise.
