This has been a very emotional time for me, perhaps for all of us as we transition in to a new way of being on this earth.\u00a0 For me, it has been compounded by endings and new beginnings and lots of them.\u00a0 It\u2019s a time of uncertainty and thus an emotional time.<\/p>\n

Last weekend, I was honoured to witness my son, Philip marry a woman he has loved and known for a very long time.\u00a0 The wedding itself, was filled with joy and happiness.\u00a0 The day flowed with ease and even the glitches melted in to the day as if that was the way it was intended all along.\u00a0 This day was like no other for me, I do what I do best, read and feel energy as it moves around me.\u00a0 And that day there was lots of energy, emotional energy, for everyone.\u00a0 I was curious as to how people managed their emotions or whether people even felt the need to manage them at all.\u00a0 The couple themselves, are very aware of their emotional being and honour it as an important part of who they are.\u00a0 This set a stage for others.\u00a0 It was ok, not only ok but welcome to be in whatever state you needed to be.\u00a0 Tears were as welcome as laughter and there were moments were one led into the other.\u00a0 The freedom for all of us to just be, be where we were at and really celebrate being in the moment was a gift to each of us.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, I noticed that some people embraced the freedom to be emotional while others tried to manage it or apologize for it and then there were those that were so guarded and protected from it.\u00a0 Walls, keeping hearts safe surrounded many.\u00a0 The walls were all different, uniquely crafted to serve a purpose that had served so well, often for many years. Some were more porous than others, some made of concrete and iron, impenetrable, some jelly like and wanting to melt away with the love that surrounded.\u00a0 I thought about how all of us have a barrier of protection, a fear of being hurt, being vulnerable and the bravery and courage it takes to rise up to that barrier and challenge its purpose.<\/p>\n

The need for self preservation is huge and it\u2019s within all of us.\u00a0 I think of the energy it takes to keep that emotional body in check.\u00a0 As it naturally flows between the mental body and the physical body, it keeps both bodies well lubricated, nourished, open and free to live.\u00a0 When we try and contain it, put barriers around it, rules as to when it can mingle with the rest of our self or others how painful that process is.\u00a0 I watch as it creates dis-ease and discomfort within our own being and how we squirm to avoid it.\u00a0 We become doers in the process.\u00a0 We look for something to do because being is just too painful in that moment.\u00a0 We forget that we are human beings on this earth and not human doings\u2026we block our emotional body that allows us to be, in whatever state we are in.\u00a0 There is no judgement in our emotional body, there is just the experience.\u00a0 We experience everything in this life time and the spectrum swings from incredible pain to incredible joy and everything in between\u2026what kind of life do we live if we limit, criticize, control how we feel?\u00a0 What would life look like if we were able to be in whatever emotional state that came upon us in the moment and stay there until we no longer felt the need to be there? \u00a0That would be a life of freedom!!\u00a0 It\u2019s time to step out of the self imposed prisons and allow this human being the freedom to live!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
