Such times can be very challenging, but can also be the time of breakthroughs on your inner journey. If you are so lucky that you can find time in your day to be with yourself, then grasp that chance and find quiet time to be alone, if possible, in nature.
Then sit down, take a deep breath and allow your focus to turn inward. This is a moment to be curious about yourself and the feelings you are going through. Allow yourself to have an adult, almost clinical inner voice, that can ask yourself questions. Then relax deeply, breathe, and allow your body to respond. Feel into your biology. Maybe it is triggered in some way? Angry? Sad? Other feelings? If those feelings had a physical residence in your body – could you point to where? Pretend those feelings had a colour – what colour would that be? If those feelings contain a memory – what would that be?
If the body starts reacting with restlessness, sadness, or loss of focus or other distraction – bring yourself back and ask the questions again. Like a journalist or a detective – dig deeper. Allow a flow of consciousness – even if you think you are making it up. Even if you at the moment don’t understand the imagery. Make a note of what comes up – even if it seems meaningless in the moment. The subconscious works in mysterious ways when trying to communicate with the conscious.
What comes up might be painful. If so, again remember to find that adult voice inside you, and allow those feelings to be comforted by that inner adult. Ask the nerves, the inner organs, the brain – whatever that is doing the feeling – ask what is needed. The answers may range from «hold me and love me» to «vitamin C» or «Dance». When you have practiced the skill of understanding your body, it will tell you quite clearly what it needs. The tricks include patience, self love and curiosity.
It can be very hard to understand yourself some times. Should you need help to decipher what your subconscious is trying to feel you PM me for a session of hypnotherapy. Together we can dive deep and do the detective work necessary to find peace for that layer of your personality.
