Elodie and emotions, part 2 love story ♥️
Are you in touch with your emotions and feelings? Do you know what your body is telling you when you feel certain sensations?
I used to get all the feels- anxiety, stress, depression, sadness and frustration. They used to come on like a hurricane and they got so bad sometimes that I couldn't even navigate my way out of the storm that was brewing inside. I would get caught up in this storm, I would act off auto-pilot and be at the mercy of these feels, either lashing out or withdrawing inside.
But then I learned the amazing technique of body awareness. I use my breath to anchor me into my body, I use the breath to identify my emotions and feelings, I locate where I'm feeling these sensations in my body, then I visualise this sensation as a picture/shape/colour/texture behind my closed eyes. See, our emotions tell us our needs, and our feelings tell us what we want. They are a barometer from your subconscious and when we don't honour those, they will communicate to us in their special way.
This technique allows me to step away from the sensations and OBSERVE the sensations within me. Its this trick of observation that removes you from the one EXPERIENCING the feelings/emotions to the one who is WITNESSING them instead. This then allows us to witness what our subconscious is asking from our conscious.
I then sit with these sensations and speak kindly to them and ask them what the message is. Then I listen intuitively for the answer. This took a while to practice but now I'm able to do it on the fly. It's a beautiful way to self-regulate your emotions and honour your needs and boundaries. I know that when my boundaries are being crossed, I get a sudden pain in my liver region which is like a red flag being flown in my face to be aware of.
Do you regularly listen to your emotions and feelings within your body?
