The Power of Vulnerability - Episode 69
Heal From the Ground Up
Our society admires strength and looks down upon vulnerability thinking to be vulnerable is to be weak. We misuse “strength” to push away how we feel. It’s actually much easier to avoid how we feel by being “strong” than it is to face our feelings with vulnerability and to feel what we feel at our core. Listen to this episode to learn more!

The reason why anxiety, anger, and depression keep coming up in our lives and in our society is because we are not uncovering and exploring the underlying root cause which lies in intergenerational healing. Understanding this will forever change how we as a human race understand and ultimately heal anxiety, anger, and depression. To give you an understanding of what intergenerational healing is, I used my personal story in today’s podcast episode. For more information go to www.healfromthegroundup.com

info_outlineYou may have all kinds of emotions, feelings, and thoughts racing through you because of all that is happening right now. All of this may be eliciting one of the darkest times of your life. Through all of this, despite how bad it may be, I want you to first center yourself with the mantra that "Problems bring up feelings in us that existed before the problem ever happened." This is not to illegitimize the severity of what is going on right now, but if what is going on right now is bring up feelings of anxiety, anger or depression in you, that means what is happening is bringing up feelings in you that existed before the problem ever happened.
You may have lost your job due to the Coronavirus. Your worst fear may be that you become homeless or that you contract the virus and die or kill others by transferring to them. You see, the thinking mind, tells us you need to prevent the worst fear from happening because if it were to happen it would bring up a core negative feeling. But the truth is, the core negative feeling is not only not caused by your worst fears coming true but it actually existed before the problem ever existed. For example, you may have lost your job due to Coronavirus and feel worthless because of it. But feeling worthless is what you feel all the time. Although, it is obviously not true about who you really are, but you must identify your feelings and cut the head off the snake. The head of the snake is your "thinking mind" that a certain negative problem (i.e. losing a job due to the coronavirus) is causing your feelings of worthlessness.
As we discussed before this feeling of worthlessness is often rooted in some intergenerational trauma. That is why we create and fixate on certain fears because we are unknowingly holding onto pain that does not belong to us. In my Emotional Strength F.I.S.T. Masterclass, I have a sample coaching session where Jagrit, a 22 year old college student, is so terrified of driving that he has only driven twice and that was in parking lots. His fear of death is actually rooted in the intergenerational trauma of his great-grandparents who lived in a world of death, violence and murder and he was just reliving their experiences as his own in his fear of driving.
Listen to today's episode to "FIND YOUR PEACE DURING A PANDEMIC."
To heal your anxiety, anger and depression from the ground up join our masterclass on Michael's breakthrough Emotional Strength F.I.S.T. Process
