It looks like mother nature is finally replenishing our water supply. I was beginning to wonder if we would ever see rain or snow again.  What I am aware of is how much we need cleansing of water in our own lives!

When we shed tears, it can be extremely healing. None of us likes to experience the releasing of a good boo hoo, but the after effect can be SO beneficial. Many times it can come as unresolved fears, hurt, or sadness which can let loose a layer of something we have held onto.  Once this layer is peeled off, it can open up the gates for the potential for more positive feelings in our lives.

I have shared in my Ebook on self-sabotage that our body literally holds onto memories of past hurts and unresolved feelings. It is important to let go of these wounds so these feelings won’t ooze out or splatter onto others. I am firmly aware that these feelings get buried alive and want to show their ugly head from time to time at the least opportune times. If we keep pushing them away, they may show up as a monster that controls us and prevents us from moving forward.

If we see these emotions as simply energy in motion in our body, it can take the intensity away. Think of your body as an energy system. Like a television, you have current running through your body that creates the image on your selected program. If you took off the back cover of a television, poked around inside, and then replaced the cover, you would probably get a ZZZT when you turned on the television again. Suddenly, the electrical field that was tampered with doesn’t allow for a good flow of energy to come through to your television screen.

That is very much like your body that is affected when you hold onto emotions from either past or present. You can experience a block in your energetic system just like your television. When you allow them to move through you, they don’t have such a big hold on you. So, take note of a recent upset that you had. Where did you experience that in your body?  Was it in your shoulders, arms, or gut?

I can think of a recent episode where I was experiencing quite a bit of emotional upset. My husband and I have been trying to get rid of a timeshare that he had purchased long before I married him.  We have been able to benefit through the years with staying at top rated accommodations on trips. However, lately I have experienced not being able to get the places we want to go to due to too late or too early to book them.

We got a call to go to a presentation that would help us discover how to deal with this unavailability issue. That got my attention, since I had just recently tried to book something to see the fall foliage but was unable to get into anything. We went to a free dinner to hear about it. Upon hearing the presentation, we were told that they weren’t trying to sell us anything. So, my fears were settled down and I proceeded to listen to the presentation. As it went on, we found out that there had been a major lawsuit to the owners of the properties. We were now eligible for a way to once and for all get out of the ownership of the timeshare.  That came as joy to my ears to finally no longer having to worry about passing this on to my relatives or paying a monthly maintenance fee.

What I wasn’t aware of, is that there would be a price tag to changing ownership to a new company, that would make trips so much more accessible to book.  My gut suddenly started feeling so much pain and I was frozen in fear. Fear over spending money to get out of this fix.  My husband, who is quite the financial man, decided it was a great deal. This is because it would in the long run afford us the travel opportunities that we wanted. I left the presentation signing off on a new travel agreement that I hadn’t intended to spend.  It was so apparent to me of how emotions can impact the body. As I examined this further, it was helping me get in touch with all my fears around spending money that I took on from my parents.

Notice when you have been triggered by something recently and allow it to be an opportunity to clear out the emotions. It may lead you to an older upset that you never have dealt with.  Allow yourself to breathe deeply and move through it so it is no longer is controlling you.  I believe there is no accident for emotions you are being triggered by, as it may lead to a greater potential for those dreams and desires you have come to fruition.

Allow these old feelings to be cleared out as you clean out the emotional holds.

• Identify the emotion
• Let the emotion lead you to an original time when you impacted by that same emotion
• Notice where the emotion is in your body and breathe fully into it
• Notice how the emotion is moving quite well through you as you allow it to just come and go.

Here’s to your spring cleansing!
