Emotional blocks are like heavy bubbles of energy that get stuck in and around our body, when we are unwilling to feel the emotion. “Oops bubbles”, as my inner voice likes to call them.
We either feel “above” the emotion, an “Oops” like we shouldn’t feel it, or are unaware and unwilling to look at it. Avoiding them feels safe and understandable, but our awareness is like a little straw that helps this bubble dissolve back to neutral. Puff!
If you’d like to try: It is mostly scary from the outside, and diving straight into the body, to the location of this emotional bubble will make it softer. Stay with it while you can, and allow it to play its’ song. Feel it fully and breathe your way to the other side.
Without being dramatic, we need to understand that these bubbles or blocks - well…block us in our lives. While it makes it hard to receive something new or gain clarity through these blockages, it is easy to see things differently without them.
We have a story, and we have an emotional reaction in the body to the story.
From this point, the story is like an arrow that points to the location, it’s an indication “Oh here is your bubble”. Where is it? What’s the shape of it? What’s the feeling inside? accept. allow. it’s ok.
Clearing these blocks out of the way is so magical. The body feels light and free without all of the heaviness inside. Potentially this could lead to some big shifts and allow new vibrations in, making the path less painful (eventually!) as you get less triggered.
Bella Lively calls them “Bean Bags”, Eckhart Tolle calls it “The Pain Body”. I call it “Oops bubbles” and this practice is so meaningful to me.
