Decades ago, I took this course. One of the exercises was that the students would hit certain points on another student’s body to bring up repressed emotions. Intense anger came up from me! I felt uncomfortable to release it in front of strangers. However, it felt like my body would burst if I didn’t, and screamed FU at the top of my lungs. What a relief! That was when I learned it took more effort to hold on to feelings than to release them.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to share your experience Pamela 🙏💖
It sounds like it was an intense experience! I’ve experienced something similar during a somatic breath work ceremony. Intense but such an amazing relief! And you’re so right…it takes way more effort to hold on to our emotions than to release them ❤️🩹
Our physical health influences our mental wellbeing, and our mental wellbeing influences our physical health - l truly believe in this mind and body connection, having seen it play out with loved ones, and friends. I was introduced to Louise Hay's teachings and have read the book you mention in your post, Darcy. A fascinating and insightful read - one l refer to still today. 🤍
Thank you! Your post shined a light on what's going on in my life thats been sucking my energy. I'm currently dealing with energy vampires in my family and was getting pulled under. Sheilds up!
Is the meditation available another way? No worries if not, I am sure it is me but you have to be in Substack to play it, although it could be me being non-tech minded 😂
Great work this. I am seeing the connection in body and mind increasingly, not just me but it opens to others and how they are. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you Jon! I’m so glad to hear that your mind-body connection is increasing. It’s truly amazing when are able to connect with ourselves that way…and it does open us up to seeing others differently as well. As always…thank you for your support 🙏😊

It is a commitment to our selves, perhaps the boldest and hardest commitment we will ever make. Beautifully written.
It really is the biggest commitment we will ever make. Thank you for reading Thom 😊

The mind-body connection is amazing and once we become aware of it and learn to listen to our bodies it can also be so transformative ❤️🩹

I had a lot of technical issues with this meditation. I’m also not very tech minded 😂😂
If you’d like to listen outside of Substack, message me your email address and I can send it to you 😊
That is incredibly kind thank you.
