I’m just gonna put your “suitcase”outside the door and we can pick it back up after the session is over.
I’m afraid someone is going to take it she replied. This statement was a defining moment in my work. A revelation of a profound insight that came from the most innate, subconsciously vulnerable place.
Her soul spoke the works effortless, telling me her inner most fear.
It was an energetic suitcase.
At the beginning of our immersive energy healing session together, I encouraged this beautiful client to collect all of the things weighing her down….the to-do list, worries, obligations, heaviness, the people expecting things from her….collect them all and we put them into an energetic suitcase that I picked up and put outside the room door. I told her it was just on the other side of the door and she could pick it back up when she was leaving if she wanted to.
“I’m afraid someone is going to take it”
This suitcase, the contents of which she identified herself by. Identifying yourself by her obligations, everything she was carrying, the people she needed to take care of, the people she needed to please, the achievements she needed to succeed in, all of it.
I could hear it in her voice with that one simple sentence, that she feared who she would be without carrying the contents of that suitcase.
Understanding her core fear immediately my gut directed me to open the door, literally, and put the energetic suitcase back on the inside of the room but still by the door. I told her what I had done and immediately her body relaxed a little and I felt her energy body’s permission to move forward with the session.
Her soul relaxed and let me in and I carried her energetically for the duration of the experience. 🙏
It was such a beautiful and profound lesson. We define ourselves by what we carry. This is our identity. And in that room for a brief moment in time, knowing that her energetic suitcase was safe at the foot of the bed she relaxed and let her mind and body experience some very much needed rest and healing.
She didn’t have to choose between the identity and the rest. All of her was welcome in my healing room that day.
It is experiences like this that continue to feed my inspiration and aspiration to tenderly hold energetic space for people to be who they identify to be AND choose themselves at a soul level at the same time.
In energetic support,
Tracy Mackenzie ♥️
