It’s been some time since your Journey seminar and I have a question:

Do you sometimes feel stuck or indecisive? Or overwhelmed by your emotions, causing you to react in unhealthy ways?

You are not alone! After many years of working with people the most common thing that people experience after their Journey seminar is this:

They get stuck! And overwhelming emotions still show up!

And if you, like many other people,  have started an intense healing journey…

…it is likely that you’ve experienced some very intense emotions that might have left you or other people feeling hurt.

And you might feel that life hasn’t changed much at all and everything has sort of fallen back into its old pattern.

It’s likely that you might not feel in a “good place” all the time. You might experience fear, numbness and perhaps even more shut down is showing up in your life – when what you really wanted was more happiness and peace of mind.

Why I’m sharing this is because many people feel like that after the seminar and think that they must be doing something wrong.

Having left the seminar feeling strong and grounded in your true authentic self, you were probably expecting to react differently than before when something negative happened.

And then something happened – and you still reacted in that old painful way.

Someone you love pushed you away, didn’t listen to you, talked back, disrespected, interrupted or walked away.

Your boss cut you off at a meeting, gave you tasks that were below your real capabilities or simply ignored you.

Someone was rude, your house was a mess, your coffee was cold, you had a bad hair day and someone told you that you look like crap.

In short – things just didn’t go your way.

And BOOM! The biggest disappointment and embarrassment is you’re doing it all over again – feeling angry, unable to express how you really feel, confused, stuck, and ultimately – feeling unloved and disconnected.

Inside you say:

“I just want to feel at peace. I want to finally be happy. I just want to relax. Be in harmony with others and myself.

I don’t want conflict. I don’t want friction. I don’t want to fight.

Why can’t others just see this? Why can’t they just love me the way I am? I don’t want to cause any harm…. I don’t mean to hurt them. So why does it feel as if life is against me? Why do I still suffer????”

Exhausting, isn’t it?

Does this sound familiar? Have you recently felt overwhelmed by your emotions?

Maybe your emotions are even more intense than before the seminar and you feel even worse because you SHOULD know better. You SHOULDN’T react in the old ways.

Well, before I continue – just take a pause and take a deep breath in and let it all out (you know the drill).

Relax! It’s all perfect.

What you’re experiencing is HEALING and GROWTH.

I know you don’t want to hear it right now because the intensity of your emotions can be scary and uncomfortable But, the truth is that the little dark parts of you, the ones that you’ve ignored for years, are coming up for freedom.

These parts are coming to the surface and are screaming to be heard, to be healed.

And you can chose to ignore them and push them down even deeper – because it’s TOO UNCOMFORTABLE to feel these painful, ignored, rejected and pushed away emotions or…

…you can relax, open and let these parts really come to the surface and allow them to be fully felt and heal.

Tomorrow I’m sharing some techniques that have helped me to embrace and fully love ALL the parts of me, so expect another e-mail from me.
