Are you or someone you know a Sensitive or Empath? Join this free monthly post happening on the first Friday at 10:00 am. Follow the prompts and take a deeper dive into who you are and how your intuitive ability can be a Superpower!

In review, last month we learned how to ask our bodies a “Yes” or “No” question. We can easily apply this technique when trying to figure out if the emotion or pain we are feeling actually belongs to us versus someone else (Remember, Sensitives and Empaths often pick up these energies from others). This is critical information because we will handle a “Yes” answer very differently from what we will do for a “No” answer. Today we will explore the “Yes.”

Using the technique we learned last month, identify an emotion or pain that you are currently feeling. Now ask your body if it is yours. In other words, did it originate with you? If your body tells you “Yes” than continue with today’s process.

Remember, our bodies are wise. If we ask and if we listen, we can glean extremely helpful information.

Now that we know the feeling belongs to us, it is helpful to know which emotion it is. This may be easily apparent. But sometimes, we have no idea what it is. This can especially be true if the emotion is supercharged like anxiety or terror. It’s difficult for the brain to go into a discovery mode when it is existing in a “Flight, Fight, Freeze, or Fawn” mode. Use calming techniques such as breathing to settle your mind into a more peaceful place. I know this can be difficult. You don’t have to get to a totally Zen-space, but just a bit calmer so that you can think straight.

Then ask the question, “What is this emotion called?” Without trying to force it, let the answer come.

If it doesn’t come in that moment, perhaps it will come to you later. If you don’t get an answer, that’s okay, just move onto step #2.

Does this emotion require healing? Even a slight calming is a healing of sorts. Ask for what you need. Sometimes this healing will happen in a moment, and sometimes it will take years. It doesn’t matter. Healing is a path and we are on it for a lifetime. Do not get discouraged by this concept. Each step on a consciously intentioned healing path feels better then the last step. Start the journey and let it expand as you go. Ask for help from any source (human or non human) that feels safe and makes sense to you. Be choosy when picking your Healing Team.

Don’t try to do this entirely by yourself. Yes, there are times when we need to be quiet and alone during this process. But equally important, seek to join with your supportive, healing team to get the help you need. Reach out.

Next month we will learn what we can do when our body tells us, “No, this emotion does not belong to you.”
