Some Days

"Some days simply hold a heavier energy... It doesn't really matter why. It just IS. Some days have extra heavy emotions. There is a lump in the throat; an ache in the heart. Emotions are just energy. They need to move. That's all...

If you take the 'E' off the word emotion all that's left is 'motion'. Emotions are energy that needs to move! When they move you can feel it moving. This is why we call them 'feelings'... Motion... The E? Well that just means 'energy' or 'inner'... Inner-motion.

My suggestion: Feel the energy moving through you--moving out of your core, through your hands, your heart, your feet, moving out, through, down, and away from your head... Sure tears can do it too, but that is not really necessary...

Me? I usually like to blame it on the Weather, the phase of the Moon, the Planets or Astrology; something I have absolutely no control over. Something I just have to go with or be stressed.

But that is not my old way. My old way was to interfere with my emotions, change my emotions, mask my emotions, suppress my emotions, medicate my emotions, ignore them, change them, interfere with my inner-motion... Why? Fear of my own emotions... What they mean about me, what they say about me...

In hindsight it was very very silly! Fighting to control my true feelings instead of just accepting them, acknowledging them, letting them go, and forgetting about them. Kind of stupid really...

How can you escape from something that is inside you?"
