I am only human, I make mistakes and sometimes they repeat themselves. Why? Deep in our subconscious, buried under years of denial and neglect are our reasons. These reasons cause blocks in our path to fulfillment, so we struggle to find joy and happiness or a job that fits or a relationship that builds us up. We all want to be successful, we all want happiness and we all need security and to feel safe.
So why don’t we always feel these things, why is it we can be in a relationship with someone that everyone else says is great but feel inn ourselves like they are too good for us, or that they aren’t right for us? Or the job that you mum thinks your wonderful at but is slowly destroying you soul, how do you find the courage to leave? What’s holding you back?
A subconscious block or an energy block that has been put in your brain as long ago as infancy. Somewhere along the road of life your brain has stored a memory of a feeling and attached it to an external action and every time it perceives you are in a similar situation this old feeling manifests itself in a physical way. It could show up in you always being late to things or even as far as an addiction to any substance or work. It’s a mystery to me that my brain can remember attached feelings from 40 years ago but cannot remember where I put my keys 5 minutes ago.
So what can we do about removing these blocks? It’s simple but not easy, it requires consistency and perseverance, it may even require reliving emotions that are uncomfortable or cause fear. The only way out of pain is to go through it, peace is waiting on the other side. Our first step is in recognising these actions and feelings exist and the actions are detrimental to our happiness and success. Writing is the way to release these memories and feelings into the world. Take yourself to a quiet place where you will not be interrupted by outside distractions, turn off your phone; grab a notebook
or a pretty journal ( I find this helps the creative flow) and a writing implement of sorts (I use several different coloured fineliner pens); take a deep breath and begin.
Write down how you are feeling in this moment (breathe)
Write down how you felt during the week at different times and circumstances. (breathe)
Remember a time in your childhood where you felt sad, happy, angry, scared, confused and write a paragraph or a page or more about those times. (breathe deeply after each one)
you can write about one per session or write about all of them in one sitting it is up to you.
Then write an acknowledgement of these feelings, speak to the child within as if they are in front of you. Offer solace, confirmation and validation of their feelings.
finish the piece of writing with forgiveness, compassion and love. (take a deep breath and blow out any negativity that arose).
By acknowledging and forgiving these emotions we clear the blocks that they have created in our psyche and we are more able to notice and act on them when they arise in our daily lives. In later blog posts and in an upcoming course I will extend this writing practice in into practical things for you to do every day to move forward out of pain and into fulfillment.
