Uptight? Emotional?

Today, I had a moment where I said to someone as she was complaining about how uptight everyone else was today, that when people are uptight it's because they are not being honest with how they are feeling, they are bottling up their emotions and they need to burst a bit so they can relax.

A little loving words for March/Pisces energies: Emotional roller coasters and volcanoes are okay. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all just say to each other as needed, "Hey, I need to cry for a minute, I'll be right back." Then we could just stop, honor our emotions and get real, instead of spreading more frustration and tension, and then go back to what we need to be doing.

Most people don't know how to cry at the drop of a hat when needed. This is a learned practice. I once read the book Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. This book taught me to delve into deep emotions, feel them and move through them. So I do this now with greater and greater ease and while some people are surprised by how much emotional release I have to do, I find that it's nice to not get so stuck in one feeling, but to recognize that they are all passing.

I have been blessed to be a highly sensitive and emotional creature, this is what makes me who I am, to do what I am here to do, it also means that I am sometimes emotional in a way that few people understand. So if you are in need of emotional guidance or support, I can likely assist you in this area.

A few easy tips just in case you want to create a space for healing your emotions and help yourself move through them more easily...

1)take a sea salt bath
2)use essential oils to calm down
3)use flower essences, these all can go in the bath too
4)have a cup of chamomile tea
5)get some bodywork done, a massage with a good healer works wonders
6)rest
7)call a friend
8)write, paint, sing, draw
9)each large quantities of raw mint chocolate ice cream, comfort food without the guilt...LOL!

Much love....
