This evening I was feeling a lot of internal energy, a restlessness that demanded my attention. I sat and went inward with mindfulness, welcoming all feelings with a quiet, yet witnessing mind.
As I became still, discharged energy through tears and breath work, my heart began to speak ….. get to the water. I listened and 30 minutes later found myself at the beach sitting comfortably in a chair, toes in the sand, with a new book (I recommend it!)…. Plus my two older children and some surf boards.
The sunset was majestic and the sounds of waves crashing was a calming gift to my nervous system.
I became full of love, joy and awe.
When we take moments to pause, go inward and say “hi!” to ourselves we begin to learn how beautifully our present moment energies/emotions provide us with wisdom and insights.
We often fight doing so due to protective defenses we developed as children and fear of the emotions being too much or too hard to experience.
Once we learn to go towards and truly feel into the energies, bringing loving compassion to whatever arises, our world expands with depth and connection we didn’t know was even possible.
Breathe into the sensations, feel them through your body (verses your mind) and be still with mindful awareness. This is when our subconscious helps unveil info stored in our bodies and embodiment becomes a compass if we choose to listen.
We may have an impulse to curl up, cry, shake, dance, hug, say words, etc. Let what wants to happen happen.
Take time to listen. You’re being guided to feel your feelings and work to discharge the present energy in healthy ways, preventing them from being stored in your body. You will learn what wants to be said or what you may need in the moment for comfort and support.
I invite you to sit, bring your attention inward and say hello to self today :)
