Is there an emotion you wish you did not feel?

Is it constantly damaging your relationships or work prospects? Is it always there, heavy in the background, sabotaging the way you experience your life?

I think each one of us can answer yes to at least one of those questions. We move through our days without a single thought to the quality of the emotional states we inhabit, or the fact that we can actually choose to feel differently. It is almost as if these emotions (plus the thoughts) have their own agenda, freely running their tyrannical schemes to create dysfunction and dissociation in our lives.

Each time we hear ourselves saying,“I’m not good enough”, or hiding our true feelings, there is an emotion (or group of emotions) sabotaging us.

So for today, let’s examine that emotion that’s keeping you from peace, contentment and prosperity.

Take a few moments to sit quietly and close your eyes. Breath deeply, and ask your emotional body to show you which emotion/s is keeping you stuck. It could be anger or anxiety about survival, or it could be lack of motivation or sadness. Take a moment to reflect upon how this emotion is affecting your relationships, goals, dreams or health.

Give yourself time to get a real idea of the impact this feeling has on you, and the the sense of self it creates. Then, take a deep breath and ask your body where it holds this emotion. You may feel or sense the place, or simply instinctively know where it is.

Take your awareness to this place and see what it feels like. Is it heavy or dark? Allow yourself to become aware of the actual “weight”, “texture” or “quality” of this energy.

Now take another deep breath and ask this holding place what color it needs to release this painful feeling or internal dialogue. Take the first color you perceive and draw it directly into that place. Feel the color begin to dissolve the emotion, allowing your body to relax as it releases that troublesome energy. Stay focused on this sense of release for as long as you need, until you feel a shift occur. Give yourself a moment to meditate in this new, liberated place you have created within yourself. Allow your body to realign and fully experience a new vibration.

And now take another deep breath and command all the trillions of cells of your body to imprint this new, freer space – it belongs to you.

When you are ready, open your eyes.

A brighter, wider, dauntless new world of perception awaits you. Enjoy it to the utmost!
