I will forever encourage people to express themselves openly and freely. No emotion is bad. No emotion is wrong. No emotion should be stuffed down into your body, mind, heart and soul to fester and stew. In holding onto emotions and trying desperately to deny them, we deny who we are and how we feel, we deny ourselves

Each week some statement that a client makes to me will “pop” for me. It will stand out as more present than other statements made throughout the week. I don’t chase or seek or look for these statements. I just notice them as they come through my reality and make themselves clearly known.

“This is energy” I said with a level of confidence and a slight question mark in my voice.

“Yes” he responded from a grounded place.

“I know.” I said back, mostly talking to myself.

I turned and smiled at him. The truth was that we spoke like this all of the time. It is part of why we are such a good fit.
