There is an adage that says “distance makes the heart grow fonder”.  This adage is applied to those people, relationships or situations that have had a negative impact on our life.  There is more truth to these words than one may consider upon first glance.

“Distance” is dependent on the depth of the impression.  Physical distance provides relief from continuing a physical situation or relationship.  However, physical distance is not enough for relief from harmful mental, emotional and even energetic relationships because these relationships are not bound by physical space

Disconnection occurs before distance.  This is implied in the phrase because physical space is required in between the two elements.  That space is measured in distance. The need for space in between applies equally to mental, emotional and energetic situations.

Disconnection is a choice.  The individual realizes that the people, relationships or situations are no longer beneficial or the damaging nature of the relationship is realized. This is not allowed to continue.  Successful disconnection yields a feeling of “lightness of weight” or “freedom”.  Distraction is sometimes used as a means of avoiding disconnection due to the discomfort of the act, but distraction cannot be sustained.  Truth lingers.

The heart is the guide.  The conceptual heart is what allows us to experience the emotional aspect of life’s experiences.   The heart may become numb or shielded from feeling as a coping mechanism to that which is painful regardless if the pain is physical, mental, emotional or energetic.

“Distance” allows the heart to heal.  Sustained relevant distance allows the heart to relax in peace and heal.  During the healing process, the individual may become aware and retroactively experience aspects of the situation they were previously “numb”.  This can be a painful and exhausting process.

“Distance” allows for additional interpretation.  As the heart heals and one is disconnected and distant, one may interpret from a distant perspective.  It is the difference between seeing the trees all around or the forest from above.  One may enjoy the beauty of the forest from above but not walking in it. One may appreciate the experience gained from the situation but not like the situation itself.

The adage does not necessarily say “distance makes the heart grow fonder” towards what one became distant.  This is implied.  It could refer to the healing process.  As the heart heals, it progresses from numbness to feeling, hence, “distance makes the heart grows fonder” than before.

This adage actually describes the conclusion of a process. Unmentioned are the shift in awareness and a choice.  Awareness is impartial, when one becomes more aware- regardless if by intention or chance- one sees both the good and bad.  With that awareness there is a choice: remain or change.  This adage acknowledges those whose awareness inspired them to break free, heal and feel once again.
