Feeling “down” is an indication that something within you is seeking to be released. Any negative emotion that is in your awareness is only ever there because it’s seeking to be freed, it’s not there to be pushed down, fought against or ignored. Instead of fighting that feeling, seek to understand why it’s there. Negative emotion is often an indication that you believe something that either isn’t true or isn’t in your highest good, about yourself, others or what you desire. Take some time to meditate, view everything through the lens of love, allow it, be patient, the false belief will reveal itself and let itself out in time.

I don’t know about you, but I find this perspective very calming. I’ve been low level down since my mother died over two years ago, which has felt unsettling. In the background, I know I’ve been reliving and processing my childhood and beyond, particularly the more upsetting moments. My mother leaving the bulk of the family estate to my brother, and giving very little to my sister and I didn’t help matters. My favourite life coach says what I’m going through is “complicated grieving” because the mourning goes beyond losing and missing the person. In this scenario there’s abandonment, and rejection. Coaching has helped a lot, and I’m embarking on another 1 year, in depth healing workshop (6 weekends throughout the calendar year, with weekly support groups and a buddy), conducted by my favourite therapist. I look forward to a better resolution that I’ve been able to accomplish on my own. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
