Hello Beautiful Souls,
How often have you not said anything when you’re upset? Holding it in, doing your best to keep the peace? And then those times when you do say something, the other person gets upset in response!
Ouch!
Now you’re uncomfortable and they’re uncomfortable, too. Argh!
This means that not only do we need to get better at expressing our own emotions, but we also have to get better at handling those of others. As if the first was not hard enough!

There are several steps to becoming comfortable with our uncomfortable emotions – and many ways to go about it!
First, we need to feel safe enough to even start. If we’re feeling really threatened, it’s hard to want to do anything other than defend or protect. So it you’re interested in this topic, congratulations, you’re already in a good place – you feel safe enough to even consider this! Bravo!

Identify as introverted? What if you’re not introverted, you’ve just outgrown the social malaise: societies general state of poor emotional health and lack of development?
Sure, some of us are truly introverts, we really do prefer to be by ourselves, but I would argue that if we really are a social species, essentially herd animals that are wired to need each other then introversion will be very rare… and it isn’t. I know quite a few introverts. In fact, most of my friends identify on the introvert end of the social scale, no matter what age.
Maybe humans not actually as socially inclined as we like to think, or maybe our society is so sick that it’s just not comfortable to be in.
Hello Beautiful Souls,
We’re moving this weekend, and, as usual, I’ve taken the opportunity to manifest an even more beautiful home. Yay!
Somehow, magically, this always works.
I’ve moved a lot, and I know that if I’m patient, stay in the orbit of grateful and allow myself to expand, I will find an even more amazing home than the one before.
By now, I mostly trust the process, but it can be hard to orbit grateful and allow expansion – because life always throws spanners in the works.
Sometimes big ones.
The question seems to be, how big do I want to get?
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by other people’s energy?
It can be especially obvious in large crowds.
To me it can feel like drowning in an ocean.
I just
can’t
breathe.
Remember they’re not your goal. They’re helping you get to your goal!
When we find something useful, something that is absolutely changing our lives for the good, it’s easy to become an adherent, a disciple, a believer because we know how helpful it is – we’re experiencing it’s awesome power right now!
That’s heady stuff.
Hello Beautiful Souls,
Having a morning practice has become a bit of a thing, and you might be wondering if you should have one, or you might be wanting some motivation to keep one going…
For those of us that have a hard time being consistent, this gets especially sticky… should I start yet another thing that I’m just going to quit later?
Argh.
But ‘everyone’ says they’re so good for me!
Ok, ok.
I started up a morning practice recently, and it has been AMAZING!
I even stumbled upon a podcast discussing ‘the science’ behind what makes them so great… (Having a BS, that usually makes my eyes roll. We can back up anything with science. We just need to find a study with the results we want and voila, it’s backed.)
All of this made me wonder, if my morning practice is actually this magic why don’t I want sing from the roof tops the all it’s many accolades?
Hello Beautiful Souls,
How many times have you thought you’d healed something only to have it ’come back’?! Argh!
I’ve certainly thought, “This again! How can that be?! I thought I was done with this!!!”
And, maybe, like me, you thought you just hadn’t gotten down to the roots of it yet…
Well, yes. And no.
Hello Beautiful Souls,
I hope you’ve enjoyed the sweet song of summer and are welcoming the fragrant winds of fall.
As we cross the threshold from one season to the next, I’ve relearned the utility of balance, that while digging down into the depths it is also important to nourish the seeds of what I want to harvest. Balancing the dark with the light, the pain with the pleasure, the challenge with the gift. One without the other is either too dark and depressing or too shallow and ungrounded.
Hello Beautiful Souls,
I’m taking a vacation for August, so no healing sessions and no Love eLetter until September. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your summer!
I’ve crested into something incredibly useful for me around fear and how to use it well.
It has global, even multi-dimensional implications.
