Knowing what we need and what our emotions reveal about our deeper desires in any given moment is not easy but it gets easier with time and practise.
We may have been taught to self abandon and disconnect from our true nature and intuitive body through our relationships and power dynamics.
Many of us do not learn to give ourselves what we truly need without feeling selfish, judged or shameful. There may be an old story playing out of obligation and a need to over-give.
What we forget is that we are yearning to express our vitality and pleasure through knowing ourselves and fully GIVING to ourselves as often as possible.
We are responsible for filling our own cup and teaching others how best to support us in this process.
We can allow our stories to play out over and over, especially if we have been hurt by another, perpetuating the cycle of expectation, obligation and resentment.
Our healing journey requires responsibility to ourselves and a desire to take back our own power.
We either choose to remain in a state where we aren't flourishing or we shift our environment and mindset and move the emotions through our body.
It is possible with work and practise to show up in a way where returning to FEELING becomes second nature.
This work returns us home to ourselves, our bodies where we can find a solitude and peacefulness there like nowhere else.
It is where we know ourselves well enough to see our flaws and learn the lessons where difficulties arise.

Some ways we can feel more deeply and regain our power :
~ Sit with, question and understand why we might disconnect from ourselves and our deeper needs
~ Lean into the conflict (have the hard conversations) where you feel safe to do so
~ Ask questions to understand another person
~ Ask questions to understand ourselves
~ Feel the discomfort and seek for the root cause and emotion tied to it
~ Express our needs and wants and ask for others to meet them where it's appropriate
~ Stay honest and truthful, not silencing ourselves due to fear
~ Be vulnerable (express the 'why' behind the emotion)
~ Sit with our body, move, wiggle, breath, cry, play, feel
