Lesson 171: When You Release Emotions...

A lot of the lessons within the series have been a bout emotions and release. I feel like this is one of the key steps of your spiritual path and I have faced a lot of painful truths in order to fully know the parts of myself in order to help others. When you do release those upsetting painful emotions, it does feel weird at first. There is a sense of “why did I hold onto that for so long?” and you start to see all the wasted energy spent on emotions and feelings that you didn’t have to hold onto. There is a way forward if you are willing to work through it. It’s just that when you remove the pain, it’s like losing an old friend – something so familiar and it’s weird that it’s not there anymore. Today we are to release something that we’ve been holding onto for some time. If you need help, just ask to help it to be released and even though you may feel uncomfortable, just roll with it and notice that feeling of discomfort disappear.

I don’t have anything that I’ve been holding onto. I was a bit nervous going into a tarot workshop that was to practise reading for others. I have never really delved into learning tarot. I frantically tried to learn the upright meanings 1-2 hours before class and thought to myself “I can do this!”. I threw caution to the wind and just went with it. I think my biggest setback is that I have self-doubt and I sometimes get it in my head that I am not skilled enough to do these things that I’m working hard towards. I just got to stop that and let the Universe take over. I have the skills and it’s about being open. I felt so good after the workshop. I have so much confidence now that I can do tarot readings. I worked with purely the depiction of the cards and intuition. What I said resonated and it worked out. I feel kind of fearless. It’s a feeling of “I can do anything!”.

What did you do to release something that has set you back for some time?

Lesson 171: It's Not Yours

Have you ever started your day feeling really great and then went out into a public space like the shops or work and felt actually depleted? If you believe that we all have energy and that energy flows throughout the Earth, do you think that it’s possible for other people’s negative energy could attach itself to you? Have you noticed this at all? I know I have.

But there is one thing you can do to ensure that you don’t have attachments of stuck energy to yourself – be more mindful and recognising what isn’t yours. One thing my medium teacher taught me was to repeat something to move out anything that doesn’t feel like it’s yours – “If this is not mine, leave now!”. Keep repeating that until the feeling wears off. This identifies any sort of emotion or feeling to be yours and if it goes away, then it was someone else’s energy that got swirled up in yours. Try that out whenever you feel off and see how you feel after!
