Do You Have A Preferred Method Of Emotional Release?

I feel a bit weird posting this video when I had the most tripped out day EVER today. These big shifts of energy keep coming and coming and coming. When I’ve integrated a little I’ll record a video for you .. but for now here is a video I recorded yesterday as a bit of a call out for anyone that has a preferred way of emotional release.. I’m wanting to research and study it further because of a big calling I’m getting about it. Emotional release has helped me SO MUCH in my life so I’m going to start compiling all of my and others favorite ways in the hope that it will help many others. More in the video…

[..YouTube..] I think anger is impetous from the spirit to move us forward… I had a stint of 2 weeks of anger, blame,back pain etc. and I know now it was my own spirit showing me how much I wanted to move forward and now that I have I realize it was the anger that pushed me.

[..YouTube..] Ive always had proberlems with relising my feelings in a positive way. I realsently broke up with my boyfriend and we were together for almost a year and we were very close. The thing thats made me angry is the fact it only been a week and hes already with someone else. It kinda pains me to see him with someone else and know that we obviously werent as close as I thought we were as hes already with someone else. I always use my gym to relise the anger but if theres a better way I’d love to know.

[..YouTube..] Exercise always helps me. Perhaps anger is too much stored energy and with no where for it to go… Pooow … It explodes out of us? Just a random thought I have jade on a few occasions. Bless.

What used to be a daily occurrence for me has now become weekly to monthly. Now it a focused anger when I concentrate on love rather than fear or resentment. Ironically, except for today when I failed at it. The cause, ME; because of fear and lack of control which translated into mind felt resentment.

Hey everyone! It’s so great that you’re talking about this Fran! I’ve recently started really delving into this subject myself. Similar to you Fran, I have been “moody” ever since a young girl. I’ve always had a sense of frustration, anxiety, and tend to harbor resentment. I feel that it’s the major contributor to my skin issues. So I’m doing my own research and exploring techniques and outlets to help release this energy. I’ve stumbled across a book called the Mindbody Prescription by John E. Sarno M.D. It’s talks about how repressed or suppressed emotions can cause many symptoms in many forms including skin disorders. I just started reading it, and just really started focusing on this area of myself, but so far from the information I’ve collected, I feel that its important to allow yourself to feel these raw emotions you have residing inside of you. Whether it’s anger, hatred, frustration, fear, worry. We shouldn’t label them as “bad” or be ashamed of these feelings. Your subconscious is communicating with you and it’s important to bring it to your higher consciousness so you can take a look at them and feel them. I don’t think it’s entirely necessary to know exactly where these feeling come from, I might never know where mine do, but they must be expressed. It’s okay to take some private time to yourself to get upset, throw a tantrum, sob your eyes out, verbalize your honest thoughts. It’s quite liberating and healing. writing has always been super therapeutic for me as well. When I’m alone and I let myself be free, I am always amazed at what I write and how I truly feel.
I hope to hear some other good suggestions and knowledge from the rest of you!

Releasing anger is so very important and a subject I too am very interested in exploring further. I think the biggest part of releasing anger is recognising it and being okay with it, rather than beating ourselves up about it. That one simple step of recognising and accepting it is a powerful move toward working through it.

Much love and loving sharing the journey with you ♥

[..YouTube..] My raw food diet really helps keep me from getting as angry, because when I am treating my body with the upmost respect I care very little what other people say …..i.e..things don’t bother me as much because I feel so good about who i am …and maybe the other way is my ipod, music.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot since our consultation, Fran. When I first ask myself if I could possibly have unexpressed anger stored in my body, I think “no – anger is a stranger to me.” But that made me think: that must be precisely the problem. I never properly release my anger, which means I never truly confront it, which means it is buried, decaying somewhere in my body… like my liver! Ew. That’s a nice visual. Anyway, I hope you’ll continue to report back as you learn more about this topic… :)

Hey fran,

I wonder what’s the successful rate of using jojoba oil for congested skin. My congestion is worsened and more bumps appear within 2 days of using it. I have tried it several times but this is still the case.

Hey Fran,
I just stumbled across your website – quite by accident – earlier this morning, and I’ve spent the better half of the day perusing it. You’ve earned yourself another devoted follower. I had a few quick questions for you and I was wondering if you could take a couple of minutes to answer them.
I recently moved to Toronto from Hyderabad (India) to attend college, and I was hoping the cooler climate would help clear up my skin. Surprise surprise, it just made it a WHOLE LOT WORSE. I’ve tried everything I know – from combinations of benzoyl peroxide to salcylic acid, but it just keeps getting worse. I have a couple of large pimples that just won’t go away, and my skin is so dry it’s peeling off. I was hoping you could help me out – I read your post on Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple Cleanser, and I was pretty much sold on it until I discovered that it had none of the active ingredients I’ve been using for years (with some success) in treating my acne. Also, I don’t use make-up, and it appears to target made up skin :/ Should I still give it a go? I’m wholly – and unashamedly – dependent on my salcylic acid based Cetaphil cleanser (you’re probably right when you say dependence is not good, but I’m past caring about that, atleast in this regard), and the exfoliating wash I use as a lead-up to that is Garnier Pure Exfoliating Scrub (with aloe base), which I haven’t seen on shelves here. Anyhow, I’ve come well-stocked up on all these products from India, but obviously I need to make some changes to my regime. Another product I’m not wlling to give up is my over-the-counter Benzac AC Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%, and believe it or not, someone stole eight tubes of the stuff from my room in the dorm. I’m going out of my mind trying to find it here, but none of the pharmacies seem to have it. Do you know anywhere in Toronto I could try my luck?? I don’t know what the deal is with my skin, but I’m going through a particularly bad depressive phase, and I also have a binge eating disorder which has worsened since I got here, so while food has never made that much of an impact on my skin, it could be a contributing factor – and the bad skin is making me more depressed too, so it’s a vicious cycle. Please provide me with any suggestions you have. I’m working through college so I don’t have much money to spare for top-of-the-line treatments, but I’m desperate here. If something works, I’ll try it. Oh, one last thing -I don’t wear make-up as a general rule, but I’m also using a mineral-based Loreal concealer to protect my breakouts and open wounds (I know I shouldn’t, but I pick any pimples compulsively). It’s good for the skin, but it doesn’t work as well as some liquid-based products on my (relatively fair by Indian standards) skin tone. Is there any acne-friendly concealer I can use in case of a really bad breakout? The Murad range and a couple others I checked out at the store seemed too drying, and a few effective ones made my skin react badly. If you remember what it’s like to be 18 and in college and low on funds, please help!!

Hi Fran,

WHere in Peru are you? My husband and I need to move forward with our lives and don’t have a clue where to go. Your place sounds peaceful and that is what we both want.

Namaste

It is very beautiful a peaceful here BUT the land is strong.. it is a good place to come and heal because it will bring out anything in you that needs to be worked on. You need to know that :) Come and join us and try it out. Really though, if I were you… I’d just start traveling the world with the intention of being guided to the place for you to live.. that’s what I did..
