Most of us learned to ignore or suppress our emotions in order to get by in this world. Even as spiritual seekers and self-help enthusiasts, we may still avoid feeling our emotions by judging, analyzing, and trying to control them. Suppressed emotions get trapped in our bodies and begin to cry out for attention in different ways such as chronic stress, looping negative thoughts, waves of even more turbulent emotions, or physical dis-ease.
But as bestselling author Allison Pelot explains in this episode, an emotion is energy-in-motion. By simply acknowledging and feeling it, it can begin to move and clear out. And as we do this for ourselves, we can begin to hold space for others to do the same. The potential impact of this practice is limitless.
We talk about:
* What an emotion actually is, and how to alchemize its energy by feeling it
* Allison’s personal journey – from her upbringing as a competitive gymnast, to becoming a mother and an in-demand personal trainer – and how she learned to create space for herself and feel her emotions amidst various life challenges
* How to hold space for ourselves and others when we are triggered
* Is expressing an emotion the same as feeling it?
* How Allison helps people thrive through her holistic wellness and personal growth offerings
… and more!
