The Power of Sadness: how allowing yourself to feel can strengthen your energy

Cat Waves: Welcome to the World of Cat Kabira

My question to you today is “what is your relationship with sadness?”

Watch my video where I talk about what is like for highly sensitive people to go through the spectrum of feelings that we live and how when we try to mute or numb out those feelings, we are actually doing a disservice to ourselves.

As an artist at heart, my healing path wasn’t medical or scientific; it was artistic as my art was fed over the years in a range of emotions from anger, rage, sadness, despair and loneliness to joy and enthusiasm.

If you sit long enough with your feelings through meditation, you can actually see how you are constantly changing, how many emotions are running though you and if you are attaching to them.

One of the tenants of the work in energy healing that I’ve shown people over the years is ‘how to actually be with your feelings”.

If your deny your feelings or try to numb out emotions, suppressed emotions turn into deeper currents that actually don’t get to move, they get stuck and frozen.

This is exactly what I love about art, whether you are singing, dancing or playing music, anything that allows them to have expression will help those deep currents move as you are allowing yourself to ‘be with your feelings’.

A fear that my clients have had and myself as well is:

“Am I worthy or able to hold space for others if I had so much happened to me?”

This is actually one of the powers that I have, nothing shocks me, I can be with someone in their pain as I know what addictions, despair, grief and even losing yourself.

I am curious what is your relationship with sadness; do you make room for grief in your life?

There is an art in allowing some tenderness and compassion in being with your sadness and feeling all those deeper edges

I invite you to be courageous and make space to allow yourself to feel all the textures including sadness and anger in your life, instead of resisting them.

That’s where the magic happens, when you allow those emotions to be there, making them comfortable enough to rest and transform.

I have found that when I started allowing myself to feel whatever was there, that suddenly my capacity expanded and strengthened my energy field and my ability to have boundaries.

There’s beauty in being able to hold the totality of the whole experience and expand your capacity to feel, allowing the whole flow to expand; making space for more life, more power and also more capacity for joy.

If you like to learn more about self-healing, including tools to be more present, grounding and setting boundaries, I offer a variety of online courses as well as one on one energy healing sessions.

Have a beautiful day, Cat
