Confused. Let me explain. Lets list some emotions and notice what you feel when you connect to them.
Heaviness, weighted, lighthearted, uplifted, overwhelmed, chaotic, balanced, over-sympathetic, burdened, exhausted, energized, insecure, lonely, depressed, happy.
I am going to pick one just to illustrate my point. I choose overwhelmed, because I believe many can relate to that feeling in some aspect of their lives. When you are feeling overwhelmed, notice how you feel. Do you feel full of energy or like someone is standing on your shoulders making your movements laborious and slow? Do you even try to move, or do you feel like you are drowning? As you get in touch with that feeling of being overwhelmed, notice how you respond to being overwhelmed. Do you create a list to attain your chosen goals, do you swim in the ocean of futility, or do you run to an alternate source of comfort to avoid the real issues.
Choices of alternate comfort are often sought as a means to pamper that part of us that does not want to deal with the issue. If circumstances exist that you may feel you can't keep up and you have no viable or tangible source of help (i.e: there is no one else to help me with these tasks, I am on MY OWN, I have no where to turn). A common choice is to turn to a friend, who is always a available and comforts us in a way that makes us feel immediately and momentarily good. That choice is Food.
There are chemical reactions in our bodies that create and respond to certain foods. Sugars, carbohydrates, wheat and gluten, salty snacks are among the top triggers. These foods are held in our bodies in fat cells and they carry the emotions of what we are trying to hide because we do not want to deal with them. We use these foods as an escape for comfort. But the actual emotion that we are trying to bury and forget remains with us and the use of food is only making us feel worse. The only real solution is to deal directly with the emotion and to understand what is causing it and what we can learn from it. From there we can make different choices. It is the difference between being out of control to in control. Even the most together and organized and successful person has a part of themselves that is hurt, alone or out of balance. These are not personal failures, that is a judgement that we assign to it, but is not truth. Our truth is that we can handle anything and we have the tools and strategies and the abundance available to us at all times. Our strength, our connection to our spirit, our mind and our body empower us to own and be who we are really meant to be. But that is a choice. When out of balance, we need to reconnect and recreate harmony. Harmony in our spirit (connection to the Divine), our mind (our thoughts and what we are choosing and attracting into our lives and to believe), and our body (which is a measurement of how effectively we are practicing and achieving that balance.
When we give our bodies food that is nutritious and loving providing nutrients that enrich it and allow it to thrive, we disallow the food the control us.
When we give our minds food for thought that is empowering we feel in control and ready to embrace our challenges.
When we give our spirits freedom to live and we are inspired we allow our true selves to come forth and are at our best.
By choosing these three options, we become lighter, freer, optimistic and powerful. In this way we are choosing that anything is possible and we create unlimited possibilities.
I encourage to experience a LifeLine session to uncover, release and transform the emotions that you are experiencing that are weighing you down. You can be empowered on an incredible journey where you become your best and happiest self. The weight is a symptom, asking for you to notice it and embrace its message.
