I’ve been sitting with something lately…
How many people who are committed to healing are actually exhausted.
Not because they’re doing it wrong.
But because they’ve been trying so hard for so long.
I see it in clients.
In practitioners.
In myself at times.
There comes a point where doing more emotional work doesn’t bring relief. It just adds another layer of effort. We feel tension and we just become tired. Even the most helpful tools can start to feel heavy.
Sometimes what’s needed isn’t another process or breakthrough.
It’s permission to slow down.
Allowance and Gentle Presence
To stop pushing emotions to move faster than the system can handle.
To listen instead of fixing.
To stay present without forcing anything to change.
This is where my own work has been returning again and again.
In EMO… Energy in Motion… we don’t treat emotion as something to ‘get rid of’. We meet it as it is. Gently. At the pace the body allows. When emotion is met this way, when its given allowance to be as it is with our gentle attention, it begins to move on its own. Not dramatically. Just honestly.
Practical Compassion
Compassion as we healers facilitate here isn’t a big spiritual concept. It’s very practical. It’s what allows us to stay with what’s real without shutting down ourselves or becoming overwhelmed. Its being able to be the presence of love as you witness another, with the desire and the capacity to help alleviate their suffering. Its capacity and ability to act.
Especially if you’re someone who supports others… being aware of how we meet our own emotional load matters more than any technique.
I’ll be sharing more about this over the coming weeks as I prepare for the EMO Energy In Motion Master training starting later this month.
Holding Emotional Space Without Depletion
For now I’m offering a live experiential session called Holding Emotional Space Without Depletion where you can simply feel what this approach is like, how emotional energy simply moves within us, with allowance and gentle loving attention and intention …. through the body and out… bringing about emotional healing and change.
The next one is Wednesday 14th January, UK 7.00 pm.
If it feels right you’re very welcome to join us.
No fee, no obligation, just experience.
