    Hi there,
    I am so sorry you have been hurt in this way. There is no greater pain then feeling uncomfortable in your own body.

    Expressing yourself to him was a big step – and absolutely necessary in your healing. And talking to him more might help — but first, it is SO important to continue to process the experience alone. For me journaling is a helpful tool, but when you described this pain in your chest — I can relate to that. The pain is living now in your body… so its important to FEEL it there. When you feel the pain in your body… that is a sign of something not being processed.

    Use your body to express your emotions. Movement is SO HEALING & so transformative. Find a song, play it loud.. and dance – all by yourself. Or sit with the emotion until you feel it strongly in your chest & then yell/ scream/ cry.

    Then, after you have expressed it & it feels like it has subsided a bit… use your awareness to cultivate POSITIVE feelings… the things you want to feel.

    I hope this helps, and I would love to hear how it goes for you

    Maria

    Hi Shirley,
    I read the title of this blog post & immediately could relate. Your story sounds so similar to my own.

    I always felt uncomfortable in my body & I questioned my voice- unsure of my own beliefs & doubtful of my worth.

    I can relate to the feeling of wanting to be spiritually fulfilled & also live every moment of this beautiful life to the FULLEST — eat the chocolate, dance to the music, swim in the ocean, walk in the rain.

    When I started studying Yoga philosophy & modern neuroscience, the biomechanics of mindfulness, my desires started to make sense. And I started becoming more aware of my tendencies to doubt myself. With awareness, I then began finding the capacity to CREATE feelings of worthiness, feelings of self love, feelings of confidence & joy.

    And we all have this creative power — as humans we all have a plastic brain & the ability to choose (repeatedly) how we want to feel & experience the world.

    I hope you are able to tap into your own power!!
