She told me she was sad and I grinned!

Tears were rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.

I asked her what was the strongest emotion that she was feeling. She said, “Sad. I am just so damn sad!” She had every reason to be sad. The sadness was throughout her body. It took a lot of tears, energy, and “allowing.”

After we were able to get most, but not all, of it to move through and out of her, she was able to take that deep belly breath. I think she had been waiting years for that breath!  When we are in fight, flight, or freeze our breath can only exist in our chest. 

 The moment she told me the emotion was sadness, I heard Spirit say, “SHE’S NOT ANGRY!” I smiled within my entire being. I believe that I had seen her 3 or 4 times prior to this session and she was ANGRY! She was so damn angry! Nonetheless, she continued to show up and do the work. 

Aww, as I type this I am tearing up because I still remember this moment. The anger was gone. She worked her ass off to move it and it was gone. This allowed her to feel an emotion that she had not allowed herself to feel in a long time. Anger does a great job at keeping us safe. But now my client was on a whole new level.

The energy in the room was so powerful!

 She was sad and I was doing a happy dance in my mind. Her courageous work is clearing generations of anger! She is seeing me because she wants…needs to be better for herself first, so she can be present and Loving to her children and grandchildren.

 When anger is all you have that keeps you feeling safe, it seeps out of you, even when you are doing your best to keep it pushed down. And of course, the ones we love most absorb our anger poison. Her willingness and courage is changing the lineage energy. She is becoming the antidote that her family needs. 

 Nearing the end of the session, I asked her what she had done this past year that made her proud. She crinkled her nose at the question and shared a couple of things. Then I asked her if she noticed that she didn’t say that she was angry during our session. She paused as her eyes looked up into her head to find the answer. She looked back at me.

She got it. She took in that moment and we both belly-breathed together. 

Many times, this work that we do together is NOT easy. I know that you may feel anxious before a session if we are clearing a lot of old pain. But you still show up!  You show up daily! Every. Damn. Day. You show up for you.

 Most days, you will never be satisfied because we are trained to always do more. This training will get us stuck in the negative voice loop. We find purpose in focusing on all of the things that “need fixing.” We do so many worthy things daily. We forget to honor the subtleties of our progress. Those are the daily gems. Let’s focus on those shiny moments more.

The more we focus on the good moments, the more we see the possibilities instead of the obstacles. 

Please take a moment to look back over this past month. What gems in your life have you forgotten to acknowledge? What did you work through that you failed to celebrate? Focus on the still moments while you were in the contrast, otherwise known as the WTF moments. What did you learn? Those moments are usually where the momentum begins.

It’s in those moments that you create change that your soul has been whispering.

It just doesn't always look like an Instagram post. It typically begins with a cuss word followed by a small action. Now celebrate that action, look for the next possibility and take that deep belly breath. 



Do I need to remind you who you are?! 

Much Love,

Dena Gould
