Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) Jun/July 2019 Aspire Magazine FULL Issue | Page 37

How many times have we heard: “I promised myself I was not going to cry.”? Repressed emotions have taken a huge toll on our health, our relationships and our power to access the infinite wealth within us. As a sacred feminine visionary, I take a radical stand for every human being to fully embrace this aspect of our exquisite feminine side, so that we can access the totality of our power and ability to thrive. The feminine power of emotions has been shamed, silenced, and subjected to various degrees of violence and abuse. We have been falsely programmed to see emotions as a weakness rather than a divine power that moves through us as energy in motion. Emotions hold important information and, when we listen to them, we deepen our insight into ourselves and others. Emotions ARE an energy source and expressing them takes courage. It requires strength and a shedding of conditioning that programmed us to deny our feelings. Holding back full emotional expression does violence towards ourselves and one another. It is a violation of our nature, which is to be in constant movement. We see this movement in the changing weather patterns, the cycles of the moon and the seasonal changes. Day turns to night to remind us of the polarity and beauty of duality. Once harnessed and utilized for our highest good, emotions have the capacity to completely transform our world. It elevates humanity to new heights of illuminated beauty and soulful expression. The goal of life is to become fully who we are already encoded to be. Paying attention to how we feel in the moment helps us notice what is and what is not aligned with our true self. Opening up to the portal of emotions also frees us from “dis-ease”. Blocked emotions cause a lack of “ease” within us and that often leads to anxiety, depression and other forms of rigidity in our body. These 7 steps will help you free the feminine power of emotions within yourself:  ake a commitment to yourself M right now to radically feel every day whatever shows up, whenever it shows up. Create the safety and time you need for yourself to fully express these emotions. For example, being in nature’s beauty or connecting in your heart with a loved one can often relax you and make you feel more trusting. 1 2 37 What kind of promise is that? Women and men must learn to master the art of full emotional awareness, expression, and integration. This is essential if we are to make the crossover and create a more humane, interconnected and sustainable world.
