The emotions that we don't acknowledge that we are feeling deeply have a tendency to get trapped inside our energetic body and the also tend to show up down the road of life bringing our intentions back to the emotion in order to release it. But like a basketball being held under water, when it comes forward at a later date, it will fly out of your energetic body like a ball flying out of the water.
You may feel the depth of this emotion but to others around you, this depth of emotion seems to be dramatic. How can we validate ourselves when others around us are not ready to help us look at, validate, and release our emotions?
