Are you holding on to your pain? Why it’s worth it to ‘go there’.

Are you holding on to your pain? Why it’s worth it to ‘go there’.

Last week I had one of those weeks. You know the type… angry people seemed to come out of the woodwork and unpleasant situations were plentiful. In addition, I was feeling a lot of anxiety that for whatever reason I couldn’t get to budge. These were a few of my thoughts:  “Isn’t it interesting to see everyone in their stuff… must be mercury in retrograde. Gosh, isn’t HE angry? Bless his heart!” 

So, it took about a week before I finally looked at what the common denominator was in every situation. ME! Since I’m big on walking my talk, I embarked on a three day healthy emotional purge-fest before the anger was cleared… which in turn led to deep pain releasing, then the big aha moment as to what was at the core of it all, more release and then a heaping dose of self-forgiveness and self-nurturing.  Sounds simple, right? But we both know it wasn’t easy… nor pleasant. Gosh almighty that anxiety is gone though and so are all of those mirrors in bodies. I was back to singing and dancing and loving my life.

Here’s the bottom line:

Healthy Emotional Purging is worth ‘going there’ and is necessary for you to feel better! 
 

Nothing helps you feel better faster than releasing pent up emotions.  But, there is a big difference in unleashing anger on a loved one or stranger, versus healthy emotional purging. One circulates and is karmic. The other one is gone forever.

So, why do we avoid it? Because it’s not fun, and at some level, we don’t feel safe enough to let those emotions up to clear. To do healthy release work you must feel them out versus figure them out, and that can be scary. It’s easier to believe other people are nuts than to look in the mirror.  Before I learned how to recognize and do this for myself, I used to get sick… a lot.

Debbie Ford said: “Working with our emotions is one of the most difficult things we’re asked to do in this human experience. And we can be sure that when we are struggling with or stuck in our emotions, it’s always because of our resistance to actually be with what’s going on.”

Over my thirteen years of having a healing practice, I’ve learned that if everyone can begin making the shift to loving and nurturing themselves like they have always longed for, that everything is easier. Healthy emotional purging is a form of self-love. It is something done out of a deep love and respect for yourself. When you feel better you can help more people, enjoy life more and be a light in this world.
