I've been having some serious breakthroughs recently. Beautiful light bulbs just going off in my head.
And what I've come to understand over these past few months is about the deep connection between your nervous system, your emotions, and your soul – and how most of us are walking around completely disconnected from all three without even realising it.
The soul's communication with us, its language, is emotions.
That's it. That simple.
Every emotion that you have needs to be seen and acknowledged. It's an experience. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. But somehow we have been taught to fear our emotions, unless they are what we call positive or acceptable.
Think back to when you were a child. Children are far more connected to the non-physical than what they are to the physical. They feel things – emotions, vibrations – they read energy. That's how they determine their entire reality. Because they don't understand talking language.
If it wasn't safe to feel all your feelings and express yourself as a child, you adapted. You formed a defence system set in your nervous system. Parts of your brain learned how to adapt in order to be safe, to stay alive, to fit in and feel connected.
And a shutdown happened towards your emotions.
Now we carry that into adulthood.
You wake up feeling irritable and immediately resist it. You feel anxious and start trying to dissect it, wanting it to be gone. You explode at a stranger, or your partner, or your child..
These are signs of a dysregulated nervous system. But they're also signs of a very bad relationship with what we call "negative" emotions. And it shows there's a total disconnect from an entire part of yourself.
More than anything, we want to know that we are acceptable exactly as we are. From the time we were little, we wanted to know that just as we were, we were perfect. That is how we feel seen, understood, and loved. We interpreted negative emotions as not perfect based on our examples around us, or their reaction to us.
So we attach to perfectionism. And perfectionism within emotions is only wanting to feel one way, only believing that certain feelings are okay. The other half of the spectrum – the anger, the sadness, the fear, the shame, the guilt – we want to deny, push away, resist, bypass, transcend.
But when we are able to change the relationship inside ourselves to the things going on inside ourselves, we change our relationship with everything else around us.
When you can soften enough to yourself – to actually acknowledge an emotion that before you wanted to run from, felt terrible to have, were afraid of – all of a sudden you are allowing a part of yourself to be seen. You are giving your soul an opportunity to express a little bit of itself.
Not in shame. In holding space for it.
And the phenomenal part? This connects you again to your soul. It connects you to that safety inside yourself. You become somebody that you trust.
There's so much information out there on mindset and spirituality that's all about bypassing and transcending the human. I say that's wrong.
You've got to learn to embrace the human. Because when you embrace the human, you can finally calm the body. And then you can actually reconnect to the soul.
You don't drop feelings by telling yourself to. You just end up suppressing them, keeping more and more inside you – until yes, you end up getting panic attacks, because you've suppressed so much.
We are made up of cells. In every single nucleus of a cell, you've got DNA that can unwind to two metres long. 93% of that is dormant.
I believe the blueprint of your soul is in that DNA. And most of your souls potential is fast asleep.
What has never made full sense until now is when we reconnect to our soul properly – by making friends with our full emotional selves – we start sparking light into that DNA. Because all of a sudden, we stop being at war with ourselves. We become someone we feel safe with, someone we trust.
That block of running on autopilot and defence mechanisms changes. Just because we've softened that connection between the body and the soul, through those emotions.
This is what I focus on in my work. Helping you heal your relationship to yourself. Giving you tools to connect with yourself, to find your own path back, to heal that relationship fully.
Humans were beautiful and innocent before their DNA got shut down. You are in this really amazing body – it's potential is quite extraordinary.
The potential to vibrate at a very high level of consciousness is staggering.
But the vibrations can't change if you keep putting a cap on the things that are keeping the vibration low. You have to give that the attention it needs. Give it the ability to be seen fully – and then see yourself soar to levels that you have always dreamed of.
