E – motion
E – motion: Bright start to the day…but somehow feeling sloth like this morning. Good old emotions… great aren’t they? Can have such a massive effect on your body and state of being. How many people pretend that they arent feeling low, frustrated or sad? Why does social protocol dictate that it is inappropriate to feel?
‘I’m fine!…’
Really??
E – motions… they have to move…so like them or not…good or bad…they have to be recognised, embraced and felt rather than suppressed. Then they really move…move on… rather than being stuffed and squashed inside your body and mind…causing havoc to your inner landscape and triggering dis-ease…
I have often been told that I ‘wear my emotions too close to the surface…’ What ever that means. Guessing it refers to the fact that I feel and things raw and hard… cant apologise for that. Oh I can ‘do’ the social etiquette thing and put on a ‘smile’ but I still allow myself to fall in a heap and cry if that is what I feel like doing. Just not necessarily where people can see!
Part of being authentic perhaps – owning emotions and allowing them the space to ‘be’ Be felt and then ground and move on…
There is a lot to be said for a pound along the track… a coastal hike…and a sea swim!…
And that is what today brought. The sea bliss after the ice cold river and in the warmth of the sun it actually felt like summer was around the corner. Just what was needed!
And breathe…
Namaste
