EP 40: Emotions & Holding Space for Them
Dandelion Dynamic Podcast
In this episode we talk about emotions, how to hold space and not stuff them down. How honoring our emotions allows them to move through us, and not get stuck within our bodies. We touched on: 1) How often we have been told to ‘quit our crying or I’ll give you something to cry about’ and many of us have learned to stuff our emotions and not feel them. 2) Things that come up that trigger us, are there to teach us a lesson, and can be a mirror for our own healing. It is a gift to lean into it and heal from it. Generally things have nothing to do with the person,...

EP 39: Hiding
Dandelion Dynamic Podcast
In this episode we talk about how often in life we hide from things because of our own beliefs about ourselves. And how the light that we see in others, is within us as well… and we need to shine it, and share our gifts with the world. We touched on: 1) How our bodies will physically manifest our beliefs about ourselves if we are not paying attention to them. For example, acne if we fear being seen, or getting sick before travelling if we feel we don’t belong. None of this is conscious thought. 2) When someone sees the light in you, honour it. Shine it. Show it....

We touched on: 1) How sometimes a heavy, or hard day or week is the beginning of so much growth.

We touched on: 1) how powerful marketing can truly be and why it’s again, important to ask questions 2) how knowing where your food comes is more important than the term ‘organic’ in my opinion 3) how if you can support the local farmer and buy direct, you will make a much larger impact in the right direction Connect with us here: To learn more about the essential oils we talk...
info_outlineIn this episode we talk about how you can shift your mindset from believing that outside sources can control your mood and emotions, to truly understanding that nobody has the power to ‘make’ you feel anything, but you.
We touched on:
1) People and situations are triggers that bring about emotion, but we feel it. That person or situation does not ‘make’ us feel it. When we believe that our emotions are from outside of us, we can feel like a victim.
2) We talked about how we can use this tool and knowledge with our children. How practicing choosing how you want to feel, is a muscle that needs developing.
3) How it’s important to feel your emotions, but not get stuck in them, believing that they are caused by anyone outside of you. That situation is a gift for you to grow and learn from, and after you’ve processed it, then you can choose to feel differently about it.
4) We also touched briefly on burn letters, and how that can help you process through subconscious thoughts and emotions that you may not be aware of.
