Today’s guest, is posse member, Seryna Myers. In Season one we talked about her book, Sacred Anger and her Anger Tango workshops, this season she brings up the critical step she’s come to realize is key to feeling it all… PERMISSION.
Permission to feel your feelings. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Something Seryna said about her emotions struck a chord with me “This isn’t something I need to fix, this is something I need to FEEL” - AHHHH I keep hearing this. Maybe it’s for a reason. Growing up in the ‘fake it til you make it’ mindset has its disadvantages if the thing you are really searching for is wholeness…
As the host of this show, anyone who knows me, knows I am in love with bringing “all of myself to the table”… Leaving nothing behind.
What I get about Seryna and the work that is ongoing in my life, it’s
INTEGRATION. INTEGRATION. INTEGRATION.
this is the key to embracing and loving all parts of oneself.
And just to double click on the example she offered about her being a talker (oh - #metoo) but finding a lump in her throat when it came time to uttering words about feelings that might disrupt status-quo… she said: “I was speaking truth dis-embodied and now that I am here, present in my body, having these emotions running through me, I was like - oooh, this feels different. it’s not fun. but the more you do it, like using any muscle, the stronger it gets. so now, I give voice to the hard emotions and I take my time and stop for a breath, and the lump in my throat no longer exists. I had to push through the discomfort to get to the other side!”
