In Touch with True Emotions | by Madisyn Taylor So often, emotions that we long to express get stored in our bodies instead. The space where this most often happens is in our bellies. Rather than telling people, or even ourselves, the way we truly feel, we may stuff our true feelings deep inside of us, where they take up space until we are ready to let them go. Stuffing our feelings in our bellies may feel like the "safe" response, since we then don't really have to deal with our emotions. Yet, doing so can actually be detrimental to our emotional well-being and physical health. One way to connect with and release your emotions is to do a focused exercise with your stomach area. Take a moment to center yourself with some deep breathing and quiet meditation, relaxing your body fully and turning off the chatter in your brain. With your right hand on your stomach, tell yourself three times: "Please reveal to me my true emotions." Listen for the answers. Repeat the exercise as many times as you would like, allowing yourself to drop deeper into your body each time. Notice any physical response in the stomach area, whether you have a warm, relaxed feeling in the middle of your body or if you feel tight knots in response to any emotions that do come up. You may even want to write down any answers that come to you. Remember that the body doesn't lie. Releasing our pent up feelings from our bellies can prevent disease and allow us to live more authentic and expressive lives. Sometimes, if too much emotional energy builds up inside of us, a blowout can result that can cause discomfort. You can help to alleviate this compression by doing the same exercise and adding sound to your emotional release. The more guttural the sounds released through your mouth, the more emotions you are likely letting go. Releasing your emotions from your belly doesn't have to be painful and hard; rather, it can be organic and effortless. It's important not to judge whatever comes up for you. We tend to stuff our feelings in our bellies when we are ashamed of them or not ready to express them. There is nothing wrong with having feelings, whatever they may be. You can't help your feelings; if anything, you can help yourself by acknowledging the truth of your emotions so you can set yourself free. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Jean Atman Ever crossed paths with someone with a narcissistic personality? Narcissists tend to leave a lasting impression, as well as many pieces to pick up--maybe a deficient bank account or broken relationships, but almost always with an extreme depletion of energy. Once you recognize that you have invited a narcissist into your experience, life will never be the same. This course is designed to guide you on the path to real and deep healing from toxic, narcissistic relationships. What many people don't realize is that the people we engage with will always mirror who we are on the inside. They reflect our insecurities, self-doubts, tendencies to over give, and feelings of unworthiness. However, once you learn the (sometimes very loud) lessons these types of relationships provide, you can heal to a depth you may not have known existed. Toxic relationships contain much information and are a valuable asset when we are ready to make a life-changing transformation. These next two weeks will be an exploration of self at your deepest layers. You'll delve into all the pieces of you that for whatever reason have been eclipsed, hidden, or masked. These pieces usually prove to be your greatest strengths. Join Jean Atman as she guides you through the stories you have told yourself and brings you into your truth. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1.
