I had a massage today, and near the end, we were discussing how different forms of anger were expressed by different people. I consider massage a form of meditation because when you’re relaxed, becoming in tune with your body, a lot of healing and messages will come through if you listen. There has been so much information coming through for me lately that is hard to keep up with my journaling and blogging. My massage therapist brought up how actions can be triggered by a surge of emotion. She mentioned she’s been paying attention to anything that surfaces, working on letting go, and getting rid of those types of energies to grow spiritually and respond in a more spiritual manner. I heard the following, which I shared with her.
“Emotions are not good or bad but are all a part of the whole person and energy, which is one. We do not and can not rid ourselves of that which we are, for it would be as if cutting off a part of your body which you view as bad. If you are aware of them surfacing, don’t judge them as positive or negative attributes. Instead, pay attention to them. You do not need to let them overcome you, but you can if you wish to experience the emotion to the fullest. Instead, look at them as a nurturing mother looks at her child. Look at them from a place of patience and love. Understand them as perhaps your inner child coming out to express some part of you that has not been heard and appreciated. Give your inner child patience and love, as a mother may pick up and cuddle and love her child while the child releases and expresses in that moment. Become aware of your surroundings, situation, and emotion and ask yourself why you’re being triggered. Can you recall a time in your life where you were unable or not permitted to express that emotion? How far back does it go? Understand that it’s possible you were in a place of fear or had an adult or controlling figure attempting to quell your expression, which directly affected your ability to release, resulting in being trapped inside of you. This may also bring about shame if you were informed that expression of your emotion was not appropriate or maybe the controlling figure was embarrassed by your expression in that moment. This brings in a picture of a child crying, or as you say, acting out in public. The adult may have appeared embarrassed or was looking around at others as they judged your expression and the response of the adult to your expression. You’ve now learned fear, judgment, and shame, consciously or unconsciously, just to name a few. This can go on to express itself later in adulthood, or at any age, as a fear to speak up, lack of self-confidence, or a lack of or diminished self-worth, again, just to name a few. These emotions settle into the body in various areas, which manifests later in a variety of ways. See all of who you have been in this life and who you currently are, and close your eyes, pick yourself up, give yourself love, understanding, patience, and grace. Accept who you are, all of your parts, and respect, accept, and love yourself to the fullest. We bid you Love, Grace, and Peace always. “
I cried as this information came through. I allowed myself to express it. Adrift, my inner child never felt as if she was safe to express her feelings or had anyone to whom she could express them.
