Emotions-Clearing Them so You can Change the World
Emotions are running high. We stand in the middle of a pandemic, millions of people are unemployed, and the effects of systemic racism are bubbling over.

I have said it before and I will say it again. You need to feel your feelings! It is easy to allow yourself to feel happiness and joy. We feel it, it moves through us, and we move on. This is how feelings are supposed to operate.
When was the last time you stuffed a feeling down? You were angry, and you stuffed it down? You were sad, and you stuffed it down? You were excited, and you stuffed it down?
In this video I invite you to explore the concept that excitement and fear are the same thing. Take a moment and think of a time you were very excited, and notice what that felt like in your body. Now do the same with fear.
What do these emotions have to do with each other? They seem so different; one full of movement, and fire, the other low energy and moving slow. What if I told you that anger is actually the culmination of sadness or other emotions that have been stuffed down deep.
In this video I explore my own battle of the heart and the head, as I try to step into the body because I know that it’s the right thing for me, even though it is terrifying, and that doing so will lead to emotions that I DO NOT want to feel.
