Retreats • Meditation • Energetics

How many times have you said, “I’m fine” when you really weren’t? Honestly for me too many times to count.

So many of us have become incredibly good at it. We say we’re fine because it’s easier, we don’t want to burden anyone, we simply don’t have the words yet, we arent ready to have the conversation that will follow and sometimes we genuinely don’t have the capacity to talk about it in that moment. But the feeling doesn’t simply disappear because we don’t say it, it attaches itself to your hips, your shoulders, your bladder, your throat, your thyroid.

Our Throat Energy Centre is connected to communication, truth and authentic expression. When we continually suppress what we feel, need or want to say, we can become so disconnected from our own voice and emotions.

I used to be so guilty of this. I’d say “I’m fine” when I was overwhelmed. I’d say “it’s okay” when it wasn’t. I’d convince myself I didn’t need anything because asking felt harder than just doing it myself. And then I’d wonder why I felt resentful, disconnected or emotionally exhausted.

I’ve learnt that expressing yourself doesn’t mean you have to say everything, to everyone, all the time. Yes sometimes it’s does mean having ‘that’ conversation but so many other times it means writing it down, it means taking a breath and sitting with and understanding what you are actually feeling. it’s just about finally taking the time to be honest with yourself, instead of dismissing that feeling entirely.

What have I been saying I’m “fine” about when I’m actually not? What would it feel like to give that feeling a voice?

With love,
