Emotional Wave
Wondering what practices/rituals people have in place for the emotional wave.. My 39-55 channel and other pieces come at me hard and it feels like they take over. I’m trying to hold space for the melancholy but it can sometimes hinder my day because I have no energy for anything and sometimes I just want to cancel everything that I do (podcast, writing, etc) and start over when the wave dissipates. But then that feels like I’m starting from scratch and not just continuing. During these periods I feel like a thief of energy bcz I get bursts of it by being around my children but then I slump back into the low if I’m by myself.

Thank you for writing this!! ✨ I definitely felt something in the first sentence in the sense that I wasn’t never explicitly told not to have big emotions but I understood both that they were bad and too much. The latter being something that I have worked on recently to let go and embrace my emotions in a healthy way instead of feeling like they are a burden for everyone else. ✨ HD was the key piece to communicate with my children especially about my emotions not being a direct reflection pf something that they did and I refer to this pieces as my emotional habitat when I need to let everyone know I feel low. This has been important bcz my husband often felt like he had to fix them. ✨ I’m an MG so I have a defined sacral but I will explore that bcz all four of us have sacral energy. Maybe we need more discharge. ✨ The melancholy piece is starting to shape into creation. I have a typewriter whose sounds ground me so much and it’s close to my crafting station so I’m leaning into that vs trying to figure out what’s wrong and what needs to be fixed. ✨ And the eating my feelings is sooooo true.. it continues to unfold. Thank you for giving me your POV because it opened a new path to explore. Happy Holidays to you as well!
Collective Chat
This is a space where you can connect with one another in whatever way you like! I may post tidbits in here from time to time, but this isn't a space to ask me questions (save those for the monthly Q&As). It's more of a general chit-chat space for community - yes I'm a 4th line ;)
