Hello lovely ladies,
I don’t know about you but whenever I look at or read the news my bliss gets a whole lot more difficult to follow!
I did it to myself this morning, found myself despairing at the dark and frankly frightening direction the world seems to be heading in and was going to let it get me down for the day.
I was going to allow feelings of despair and powerlessness to overtake me.
I was going to allow the undercurrent of fear take me over, overwhelm me and and drown me in a sea of negativity…
and yet…
I know so much about how to move from feelings of anxiety and fear now that even if I feel like giving in to them I have a CHOICE.
Today I chose to address them.
Before my shiatsu clients today I CHOSE to clear the negative energy engulfing me so I could transmute it to joy and be fully present in the now.
So I could be here in my power not my despair.
How?
This picture is a small part of the view from my work space.
I looked out at the beautiful colours on the rain soaked leaves. I saw the life in the ripening raspberries. I watched the birds flit from tree to tree and I listened to their song.
I Tapped on the feelings that were getting me down in the moment.
Nothing fancy. No set up statements.
Just tapping on the points and voicing my concerns and feelings of powerlessness.
My self judgements about how I’m not doing enough to save the world!
Heavy stuff and I only had five minutes!!!
And you know what? It worked beautifully.
The colours outside got brighter and day looked clearer.
My blog came into focus in my mind.
My shiatsu sessions allowed for deep healing and I just FEEL BETTER…
…which is all I was hoping for in the first place 🙂
So if you’re feeling down about anything, please just give EFT a go.
You have nothing to lose and much to gain by offering yourself anything that can help take you out of fight, flight or freeze and into a calmer, less scary place.
The world comes into focus again, and you can think with clarity once more.
Here’s my EFT page if you don’t know what to do…there is a video 🙂
I also run a new Edinburgh meetup EFT for Women in Business – Rising up Together
And I wanted to give you this short Love & Kindness  relaxation audio download I did a while ago.
A small bit of self compassion goes a long way.
with warm wishes
