If we only treat what we are able to see, then we would never eliminate the w**ds from our garden, for the roots would continue to throw up more w**ds to the surface.
So it is with negative emotions rooted in our deeper or sub-conscious mind.
While the conscious mind is logical, the subconscious mind is the emotional level of our existence.
Often when we experience pain or emotion, we fear being in this space. Commonly we suppress, bypass or only partly process our negative feelings. The rest of it is pushed deep down into the subconscious, later influencing the way we respond to life and relationships.
So just as we need to w**d from the roots on a regular basis to maintain a healthy and harmonious garden, we too need to clear out and make space for our forgotten, denied or all too scary emotions that sit in our subconscious.
This does not have to be an intense, cathartic experience but could be a gentle unwinding, a deep acknowledgment, a shift in energy and perspective or a supported emotional release.
Joining my Monthly Sacred Sun Circle will support you to express, release and feel at home in your feelings. Having a safe space and a supportive community of women to encourage you to share your feelings on a regular basis, helps to build a healthy habit of allowing current feelings to move through you.
A great way to think about this is that:
- Feelings are current, in the moment responses to our environment.
- Emotions, on the other hand, are unprocessed, suppressed feelings.
Feelings are simply energy in motion, so give yourself permission to express your feelings as they arise to prevent them from turning into emotions (that live in our subconscious) that trigger and shape our behaviours.
Further support is available In my combined coaching and therapy sessions, I offer bodywork that supports you to access the subconscious mind. From here we can work to release clogged up emotion, to unveil a distorted reality, renew your sense of self, heal from past experiences and rewire your mind-body connection.
Working with both aspects is a true and holistic path to healing.
Here's to a healthy and radiant inner garden 🌱🌻🌷🌺
