Something really interesting came up in a session last week where a client learned that she knew what she felt but wasn’t actually feeling it and because she wasn’t actually feeling it we found that she wasn’t responding or even reacting to her real feelings. Let me put this into perspective for you. The situation is that she is unhappy with her marriage as it is, she knew she wasn’t happy but because she couldn’t feel it she wasn’t doing anything about it. She was arguing with her husband about what she was unhappy with but her requests for change were falling on deaf ears and nothing was changing, this had been going on for quite some time. 

But lets refocus on her; why was she not feeling her feelings? Because to feel them is to respond or react to them and when we respond or react we have to be accountable for not only our feelings but also the life we choose for our self. She was stuck in what I’m calling ‘the space of denial’ between knowing and feeling and it is this space of denial that we become stuck in unhealthy or toxic situations such as relationships because when we deny ourselves our feelings we deny ourselves our truth and it is our truth that guides us towards living our best, happiest and most authentic life.

So, why do we deny ourselves our feelings and our truth? Honestly, so many reasons it’s impossible to list them all here; from past life and childhood issues, suppressed emotions and trauma, fear of truth, false beliefs, self sabotage etc, but, a common one is because real change and real action is scary and many people choose to stay with ‘the better the devil you know than the devil you don’t’; meaning it’s better to deal with a difficult person or situation one knows than with a new person or situation that could be worse.

But, I feel we forget that if we are being honest with ourselves and following our inner guidance and truth we won’t be steered wrong, in fact we could actually find ourselves living an authentic life that is filled with purpose, connection and more joy than we could ever imagine! Staying with the devil you know will usually lead to more misery, suppressed emotions and new issues to heal. Another layer to the issue for my client (there are usually several layers to an issue) was that she had blocks to seeing her truth and believing it together with some fears of clarity and fears of her truth.  The false belief was telling her that this is the life she deserves and this false belief combined with the fears had her stuck in a pattern of self pity and so she remained in this space and so she would remain until the energy of all these layers were cleared.

So many layers of unconscious issues impacting the way she was living her life in real time and preventing her from living the life she truly does deserve. But, that is the magic of Intuitive Soul Healing with energy, we work to clear layer upon layer of blocks, suppression and whatever is blocking you from your truth and your light.
