Something that was shared today came at the perfect time for me, because it connects to what happened three days ago. I had a situation with my partner. I kept it inside myself, and then he left the house. I wasn't thinking about it, but the intensity kept building, getting bigger and higher, and I started screaming, screaming and walking very fast. What I heard in today's sharing was exactly that process, because afterward I felt completely exhausted. I needed to sleep. I felt depressed. It was the sensation I didn't want to feel. Then, on the second day, I felt really very good, and I thought, "What's going on?" Now I understand. I've heard about this many times before, but this time it was like a little film: one, two, three. Everything we were talking about came together perfectly for me.
You're welcome.
The release happened on its own
I'm very happy because it happened without thinking. I knew about this intellectually, but the important thing was that afterward I could speak to my partner calmly, in just a short phrase about what had happened. Nothing elaborate was necessary. I was very grounded. It was really good.
Excellent.
Now I'm writing down many things I need to continue integrating in myself. Thank you very much.
Allowing the energy of feeling
When we learn how to allow that energy of feeling and emotion, it is very freeing. The body does most of the work. We start to learn that we just allow it, and it happens on its own.
Yes. No mind. It was spontaneous. I'm very happy.
