Growing aware of suppressed emotions is a step toward freedom that can be experienced in emotional release. We are often conditioned to keep our true feelings to ourselves rather than express how we feel in the moment. Cathartic breathwork psychotherapy, emotional release technique (ERT) and freedom release technique (FRT) all draw from the power of intuition to guide us to freedom. Consider 5 tips to decode our emotions:
1) Understand our deepest fears
We each experience a range of emotions on a spectrum. To be willing to explore how we feel, implies writing or journal or taking other steps to make conscious what the emotional upheaval is really about.
2) Be willing to let go of what we cannot control
When patient, we can uncover blessings and wisdom within sources of apparent discomfort. All emotions can be understood as a gauge as to whether you are being truly honest or inauthentic.
3) Reframe mid-life crisis
One view is that every 21 years, the body experiences emotional upheavals that may take shape as growing annoyances, then perceived mid-life crisis or really shake up our paradigm. We can view and feel this as an internal build up or blocks of energy. This is an invitation to pay attention, uncover and release suppressed emotions before the volcano erupts into something more serious.
4) Live life to the fullest
Discover what it is to feel the gamut of emotions. We need not focus on emotional trauma. Making the unconscious conscious empowers us to see beyond it. Come what may, we can all refer to emotions as a guide to greater wellness and optimum living. We always have a choice about how to perceive and experience life.
5) Find support
If relevant, be open to the services, healers and other guidance that presents. Everything is synchronicity when it comes to decoding our emotions. Ask and it is given. Be open-minded and see what already presents.
