Hi Everyone,
...
When I was first learning about emotional healing and energy medicine, one of my teachers told me I needed to "clear" my belief that "time was my enemy and I needed to constantly rush and fight with it." :/
...
Today I heard something that really disturbed me so I think it's time someone spoke up about it!
...
Hi Everyone! How are you doing?
...
I was standing at the concert. Everyone around me was swaying to the music and clapping their hands. I hadn’t been to a concert (just for fun) in 20 years. The only reason I was even there was the surprise night out had been a birthday gift from my parents.
I felt stiff and awkward trying to relax and clap along. My body seemed rigid instead of flowing with the music, and I felt like crying for some reason. :/
In that moment, it hit me how serious and heavy I had let my life become. I had grown obsessive about learning and dealing with life’s problems. Every day had become filled with serious study, serious books, serious workouts, and even serious conversations filled with a constant analyzing of life and always trying to get to the deeper meaning of everything..
Don’t get me wrong, I love all these things! Good, in depth conversations are still my favorite!
Yet, last night it dawned on me how much I had forgotten how to let go, be silly, and just have fun! To laugh and talk about nothing, the things like the funny pants the drummer was wearing, the 75 year old man on steel guitar drinking a can of red cream soda… Life is full of hilarious, random moments designed to lighten things up yet I’d been missing the opportunity to laugh and enjoy the majority of them.
In last week’s blog post I highlighted the Balance Wheel and how we could work on rounding it out.
This week I’m excited to share with you an important discovery! A vitally important yet often buried and forgotten part of the wheel!
I have to admit I had no idea that this particular section even existed until a few months ago! 
Here’s what happened!
Do you ever just feel off? You know that feeling of being at odds with your life? Like this subtle uneasiness that just keeps you feeling on edge and agitated?
...
Do you struggle with anxiety or worry? When we stress and anguish excessively about something, it puts us at risk energetically to absorb other people's issues and problems. This doesn't help them (as they will just re-create it momentarily) but it can break us down and make us feel shaky, sick, drained, and literally like we're going crazy!
For me, what I’m finding helps is to visualize the person or situation as being surrounded by a Spiritual Healing Team of comfort, guidance, and support to help things along. I ask for the support and then know that it’s my task to work to release my own fear, anguish, need to control, panic, and attachment to how I think it all should work out, etc.
...
So….What if you’ve just done some tapping or other clearing work and now you’re feeling more stressed, on-edge, or just plain yucky? 
...
Chinese Medicine teaches that each of our emotions will have a different effect on each of our organs.
If you're going through a tough time, I hope this will offer you a healing lift. Unfortunately sadness and grief are just part of the experience that is life. In order for new chapters to open, completed chapters have to close whether we're ready for them to or not. Sometimes chapters seem too short or they close before they even really got started, it hurts... It seems critical that we learn how to release and move through the sadness and grief the best we can so at least it doesn't become stuck and affect our ability to breathe...
