Get it off your chest…

The thing is, we walk around our whole lives with SO much weighing us down. The weight of the world it feels like!

There is stuff that sits on our hearts that we aren’t even aware of – making us feel heavy. We don’t even know that it’s making us feel heavy because most of us have forgotten what it feels like to feel light. The state of heaviness at our hearts becomes so normal to us that we just accept it and move through our lives carrying so much.

Let’s say for example you go out for lunch and as you walk out for lunch you see two of your very good friends who are out to lunch together.

Suddenly you think, 

“How come they didn’t invite me?”

“Where are they going without me?”

“Why wasn’t I included?”

OUCH.

This is a very real OUCH that sits right on our hearts.

It’s very rare that we actually get to confront our OUCHES head on. 

It’s not often, or easy, to go up to our friends and say, “Why wasn’t I included in your lunch date? That really made me feel left out.” We may joke or laugh about it to subtly point as to how we really feel, but exposing the truth of what we really DO feel is way too vulnerable for most of us.

There is too much pain or shame involved.

So instead we just swallow down our OUCH and let it sit on our heart and in our body.

These OUCHES are happening our WHOLE LIVES.

We see people we love – parents, siblings, friends, relatives – fighting and it creates an OUCH.

We fight with other people – it creates an OUCH.

We move through loss, sadness, grief – it creates an OUCH.

We have someone say something not-so-nice about us – it creates an OUCH.
We hear criticism about the way we are doing something it creates an OUCH.

Over and over again, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH until we are filled with so much OUCH over our hearts – 

We sit with so much OUCH over our hearts that we feel heavy from it. But because it’s SO dang painful to look at – we ignore it, we pretend it’s not there and the heaviness just becomes our new normal.

So our normal day to day becomes something a little like this –

When really what we want (NEED) to be saying (SHOUTING + FULL BODY EXPRESSION) is:

It’s SO vital and necessary to find appropriate ways of doing this so that we can “get some stuff off our chest” and lighten our load….

This season on the Move Breathe Create Platform we are looking exactly at that. Ways to lighten our body, minds and hearts and find a place of lightness and expansion.

It’s physical, introspective, self-reflective and heart-opening.

And it’s pretty damn good for the soul!
