Dear people,
I meet a lot of people who are afraid of their emotions and suppress them regularly until they explode in anger or in tears. For some people suppressing has become so natural to them, that they feel they have lost touch with their emotions. Common complaints are feeling empty, dissatisfied or even feeling dead. Today I'm writing an exercise to return to your emotions in a safe environment to help process them and see what might have been living deep inside of you.

Today I'm writing an exercise to return to your emotions in a safe environment to help process them and see what might have been living deep inside of you.
Sea Exercise
- Make sure you have at least 15 minutes of uninterrupted time
- Seated yourself in a comfortable position or lay down
- Imagine yourself a calm sea floating relaxed in a pool float
- Your float is being carried by your spiritual Helpers, be it Angels, Guides, Spirit Totems, God or whatever forces of good you believe in. They will keep you safe at all times and help you heal, process and cleanse all emotions.
- Allow the sea to become a little bit more stormy and the feelings to start flowing. You might feel wind, rain or waves reaching out towards you. Embrace them and allow feelings to flow. You might feel yourself crying, making sounds or aggression, but just sit with those feelings. The sea will naturally return back towards calm after you processed your feelings
- If you start feeling anxious or overwhelmed, ask for help to return to calmer sea. Don't be afraid to repeat the process a couple of times until you processed your feelings.
- Once you feel calm and aware, notice that there is a little anchor settled against your float. Lift it upwards and you will retrieve a little box.
- In the box are the gifts that have been hiding behind the emotions. It might be awareness, knowledge, lessons learned, but can also be positive gifts like joy, satisfaction or openness.
- Open the box and embrace your gifts
- Thank your helpers and bless yourself and then return by gently opening your eyes, drinking some water and/or eating something.
