Feel Your Feelings Fully & Deepen the Connection with Yourself.Here are 5 Tips to help you Master it & Live Happier.

Feelings happen in the body and thoughts happen in the mind.

Healing is an important process in first dealing with your emotions. Healing doesn’t mean anything is “broken,” it just means that there will be nurturing needed where we have neglected to do it.

We are sensitive beings; we go through life so quickly that we often don’t stop to ponder what we’re feeling. And that’s one habit that needs to be broken.

When you feel your feelings, you should sit with yourself and really feel them. When something bad happens, do you feel that terrible pain in your chest? What about when you are stressed? Do you feel yourself get cold and prickly? As if someone was poking your heart with pins and needles? What about when you feel sad? You can really feel it in your heart, can’t you? All that energy doesn’t just magically go away. You must coax your feelings out, allow yourself to feel safe enough with yourself and release that energy

Feelings are actual sensations that we can, literally, feel in our body.

For example, when you are experiencing anger, you might feel tightness in your jaw. They are like signals that, when interpreted correctly can point you to your next steps.

Feeling your feelings is actually really simple and the worst thing that will happen is the feeling itself.

Your feelings will not hurt you but avoiding them does.

Your feelings are signals and in order to get the wisdom from those signals, you start by feeling them.Your feelings is just the first step in healing your emotional wounds.

By feeling them, you start to understand what they ARE and, then, and only then, can you start to decipher what, if anything, they mean about moving forward in your life.

It’s kind of like when you learn a foreign language. You don’t start speaking like a local right out of the gate. You learn to say hello, first.

So, here is a simple exercise to help you feel your feelings.

Sit (stand, lie down, whatever) and focus your attention on your body. Notice the sensations that are happening in your body by slowly scanning from the tips of your toes all the way up to the crown of your head, paying close attention to any sensations you notice. You can ask yourself questions like:

What feelings and sensations do I notice in my body?

What does {insert body part} feel like?

What are the sensations I am feeling in my {insert body part}?

Are these physical or emotional sensations?

For example, you may notice that you have tight calves from a workout yesterday AND that you are holding some tension in your stomach about a presentation you have to make at work.

1. Be fully present with your feelings, fully welcoming them to exist in your body. Breathe as you experience your feelings and be open to changes and movement as they flow through your body.

2. When you become aware of a feeling, notice if a thought preceded it and caused your reaction. Also check if there is physical response, such as muscle tension, that accompanies the experience.

3. Let go of the drama, story, or justification you have attached to any feeling that arises in your body. Ask yourself if you could release your attachment to your 'story', and just experience the feeling for what it is.

4. When feelings arise, give yourself time to process them by finding a quiet space and allowing yourself to be with your experience, without judgement or interference, until they have completely moved through you.

5. Recognize that life is all about feeling, and being open to all feelings that arise within you creates an opportunity to live in deeper connection with who you are. By creating the habit of feeling your feelings fully, you will strengthen your sense of self and enrich your experience of life.

If the feeling stays in your body longer than a couple of minutes, this is most often an indicator that you are in your mind, not your body.

If you are very new to this process and are just learning how to get back into your body, you may want to set a timer for this exercise. Just a minute or two is a good starting point. Doing so will help you to begin to build your “I really can feel my feelings without dying” evidence file.

As you build your evidence file, you will be able to sit with your feelings longer and longer.

That is it.

You just felt your feelings.

This simple practice of self-love and healing your emotions truly freed me from almost a decade of chronic illness  and pain and I am forever grateful. I hope you too can release your emotions and truly feel how amazing and light it can be to just let go

Go you. This is the first step in creating more of what you want in your life!

See you tomorrow with Way #55
