					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/how-narcissistic-abuse-taught-me-to-be-a-source-to-myself/#comment-980368&quot;&gt;Daniel&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Daniel,

if you go into the trauma about how you feel about it, you will shift from those traumatised feelings. All manifestation is about getting healthy and totally okay with &quot;what is&quot; and ALSO bringing wellbeing into that &quot;area&quot;, by releasing the trauma and filling with Source.

The irony is, if we do that, we are totally unconditionally at peace with &quot;what is&quot; and that is generally when it heals. If it doesn&#039;t it actually doesn&#039;t matter because we fully accept and are at peace and expanded regardless of &quot;what is&quot;.

Does that make sense?

All you need to do is release your traumas about it, and then what unfolds will be perfect.


I hope this helps.

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Melanie, 
     I recently became a member of this amazing community and as of many of us I became a victim of narcissistic abuse. After I finished that toxic relationship, I realized that I had deep wounds that prevent me from becoming the best person I know I can be. I identify the wound last week and I&#039;m ready to heal and move on with my life but I need your advice. I had multiple surgeries done to my throat since I was 2 years old and as a result I have a raspy voice that continues to remind me everyday of the trauma I went through as a child and all the bulling from my classmates. I&#039;m a 33 year old male who is just tired of this and I want to move on with my life even with all the neck scars I have and the raspy voice.  As a result, I have been an easy prey for narcissistic abuse because I&#039;m a codependent as well as a child of a narcissistic mother.  Melanie, how can I heal a wound that is always there? How can I move on with my life knowing that people will always ask me about my voice and my neck scars? I would appreciate if you can guide me through my healing process because I&#039;m ready.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You do great things for so many people. Thank you! Have you ever considered making an experience/program around the holiday season? I once did a 30 day healing and meditation program where I was sent one email a day and given activities to do each day around healing and reflection - journalling, sort of. This was an amazing experience that truly helped decrease stress around the holidays. I think it was called a 30 day challenge although I don&#039;t remember. I paid 10.00 for it and it was worth every penny a thousand times over. It would be amazing to do things that will help us connect with our survival brains around that time. I try to do meditations on my own although if there is family drama, I find it hard to engage or have time to listen. It&#039;s easier to write something down. Just a thought - I love what you do.]]></description>
