What is emotional discomfort?
It can manifest physically in your body, usually in your abdomen, stomach or heart regions (sacral, solar plexus & heart chakras) and it can create stomach pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, unable to think or make decisions, muscle weakness, feeling emotionally numb, shortness of breath & more.
For some it is a brief and infrequent episode, but for many people it can become a constant companion.
How to deal with emotional discomfort?
Emotional discomfort is something that is created by your physical mind. An event occurs ‘out there’ that causes a reaction in your brain, usually because it recalls a similar event in the past and causes you to feel similar emotions that you felt at that time. These similar emotions are usually fear, disquiet, anxiety etc.
Most often, what you are feeling now is nothing to do with now, it is an echo from your past.
But how can you tell the difference and what can you do about it?
1. Your first step is to sit quietly, breathe slowly in and out, long inhales, longer exhales and concentrate 100% on your breathing action. If a thought comes in, just ignore it and pull your mind back to breathing.
2. When you have calmed, continue breathing and allow your focus to go inside and try to discover where in your body the feeling is. When you locate the discomfort, concentrate on it. Does it have a shape, a colour, a temperature (hot or cold)? The closer you look, the more you will see that emotion actually does have shape, colour etc.
3. Keep breathing deeply and slowly and allow your muscles/body to soften and relax, allow the part of your body holding the discomfort to relax. Allow the feeling to soften and start to dissipate. Acknowledge that the feeling is there but that it is created by your mind – it has no actual form. You may start to feel some relief at this point.
Repeat this practice as often as you need and with any unwelcome emotion. Some days you may need to do this multiple times.
Emotional disturbances are often a sign of ‘stuck’ or blocked energy. Moving the energy and restoring its natural flow can be key to relieving such emotions on a longer term basis.
