When my life was unbearable, I went to see a homeopath who helped me open the can of worms, which up until then controlled my way of life. After which I became an emotional wreck as my hard exterior failed me, I had a tidal wave of grief to experience before me, it took years to get up to date with all the things I had buried but the new direction my life took left me more space to be my old self again, I started to like me, even to love myself for the first time. That is why I’m writing this, because I want to share my experience so you can take an easier way through life by learning this skill of processing emotions. Now when an emotion hits me square between the cheeks I go headlong into it and breathe it in and go with the trip right up til the end, until I’m happy again and back on my center, if not a little wiser and stronger for riding that wave. If I can do it, so can you, free yourself up to enjoy life a bit more. I feel resilient now to what life gives me to deal with, it doesn’t knock me for six anymore, because I’ve dealt with my back log and I’m still standing.
Treatments I can whole heartedly recommend that I’ve found helpful to facilitate and support you facing your emotions is; a bloody good friend or group of friends, so you can spread the load, homeopathy, kinesiology, crystal healing, flower essences and cranial sacral osteopathy. I know there are loads of others out there too including all the self help books, these are just the ones I have personal experience of and found extremely effective. Just being prepared to talk about your stuff is a start, I find once I open my mouth to people I trust, whether I’ve ever met them before or not, I find it all starts flowing out, I don’t even have to think about what it is I’m going to say and I listen to myself along with my witness.
Once we have stopped our emotions dominating or ruining our lives and we have a grip on reality and we are feeling emotionally stable, we can stride on through life, taking back the controls, taking a big bite out of the cake that is life. Knowing we can cope with what ever the universe throws at us next and you know it will. It’s like being in goal, get ready for the next ball, it’s sure to come but rest assured the universe never gives you more than you can handle and if it does seem to, get it off your chest quickly as you go along, ask for and accept help, cry out loud, start wailing and let go of it all whilst taking care not to over indulge in your emotions, stop when you are happy again. You can actually trust life.
