How to be at ease with feeling your feelings, so slowing down isn't scary!

Have you experienced a resistance or avoidance to slowing down or finding it hard to do so because you’re always in your head? 

So many of us have been taught to avoid being in the body or ‘stay busy’ or distracted, that we are out of touch with our feelings and it can feel scary to slow down and just be with it all. 

Part of my journey of not being so active every second of the day, is that I have learnt to  feel what’s going on in my body…and it’s been a process!

In today's episode I cover a few things that I've learned and it does include switching off with a short guided meditation, something I've learned just very recently, which I'm finding really useful. So just fair warning, at the end of the episode, just find some time and some space and if you listen to my podcast in the car, come back to this episode!

In todays episode I cover: 

• How to feel your feelings and sensations and listen to your body
• Tips for creating and maintaining a calm, happy and regulated state
• How the breath can help us move our emotions
• How to tune into your intuition
• The power of not needing to fix things
• Switching awareness between physical sensations, emotions, feelings and thoughts

So there's a whole spectrum of how we feel and regardless of where you are in that spectrum, it's such a great skill to learn how to be okay and comfortable with feelings and sensations that come up, knowing that they're not going to kill you!
