Hi everybody,
Sadly, we have each have different experiences and losses which leave us processing grief. I have had series of deaths in the last few months and sometimes the grief is very strong. Strong emotions can get in the way of intuitive clarity when they are not handled.
I want to share some techniques I use and find helpful. These tools are right around you and FREE.
1. Breathe. Breathing deeply is key. Breathe right into the challenging emotion. This takes a bit of courage. The emotion may feel strong but you are a giant being of light breathing into a feeling. The feeling will dissolve and become light and the wave of feeling will pass more quickly.
2. Water. Water is fluid like emotion and helps the feelings to flow. Drink plenty of water. If you are fortunate enough to live near a stream, a river, the ocean or any body of water take regular visits there. If you can’t get out to water in nature, jump in the shower or bath. Water is a conductor of energy and will wash away the blues.
3. The Blues. Music is one of the easiest and fastest ways to lift the spirits. Sometimes when I’m feeling down, I listen to some deep dark blues and after a good cry, it leaves me laughing. Play the blues (or any favorite music) and sing along. Belt it out, dance, wave your arms and let go.
4. Nature. Be it your garden, the park, the flower hanging over the cliff of a waterfall, or the lone dandelion growing through the pavement, nature is full of support and metaphors of strength and healing. Stretch, move around, go outside.
5. EFT. Emotional Freedom Technique – Lots of free tapping techniques to help clear emotions at www.emofree.com.
6. Gratitude and Forgiveness – Count your blessings every day. Think of the many things you have to be grateful for. It’s hard to be sad when you are running the vibration of gratitude. Forgiveness is another key thing to embrace. Sometimes we have to even forgive our loved one for leaving us. Other times we have to forgive ourselves for what we did or didn’t do with that person. Please forgive me is a great affirmation to hold.
7. Take Action. Do something for someone who is hurting more than you are. Be in service in a place your heart calls. Even one little action in the direction of service, can help you feel better and know that you are not alone.
8. Call on Your Angels, Archangels, Spirit Guides and Inner Peace. Your Angels, Guides, Nature Helpers and Source Love are the ultimate passageway through any challenge. All challenges can take your deeper into your own inner peace.
Most people find these techniques refreshing, effective and easy.
