Release, Release, Release...

A decade ago, after giving birth to my second child I was totally lost. I was depressed, anxious and living in a constant state of overwhelm.

With 2 babies, a travelling husband and a people pleaser/perfectionist complex that just wouldn’t quit, I NEVER took time to get quiet and tune in. I certainly never allowed myself to let go and release.

I numbed my intense feelings with food, medication and busyness to name a few. I took care of everything and everyone around me.

My mind, body and soul kept throwing messages at me, I ignored them all. I literally ran myself into the ground. Constantly holding on to all the energy I was taking on. Completely unaware of how it was all affecting me.

I had no clue what I loved and fun was non-existent. I had no idea who the F I was anymore. I lost myself in motherhood, being a wife and disregarding my deep inner wisdom over and over again.

After chronic illnesses galore, I lost my mom unexpectedly to lung cancer. A little over a year later, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Just as we moved in with my in-laws while searching for a new home I faced all that energy I’d held onto for so long, in the form of cancer.

Ever since childhood my emotions were shut down. I was told I was too dramatic, over emotional and just too much. I was always told not to cry, to just be happy and that it could always be worse. I spent a lifetime trying to fit into a non-emotional box.

It took years of anxiety, depression, illness, loss, grief and cancer to show me the importance of sitting with and feeling my emotions. And just how essential it was to let them rise and RELEASE them. 

During a dark night of my soul I opened myself up and allowed myself to try new healing modalities and come back to old ones as well, Through therapy, acupuncture, breath work, medication, meditation, Reiki, movement, elemental healing, self-care ritual and a multitude of other sacred feminine healing techniques I found myself in a whole new beautiful light. The fog began to lift, the light shined through and I learned a lot about energy, how we absorb it, hold onto it and yes how we can be in the practice of letting it go again and again and again. 

I finally learned how to release what I was holding for so long. 

Emotion is energy in motion. When that energy gets stuck in your body it causes discomfort and dis-ease. Please don’t go through all that bullshit, don’t create disease in your system by holding on to the things that don’t serve you anymore. Let them rise, share them, sit with them and RELEASE them.
