Do you have the sense lately that no matter what you do, or how hard you try, you still seem to be feeling even more emotional and shaky then every before? Even when on the outside your life might look perfectly normal, or even successful. That the slightest of things can bring you tears, most usually unexpectedly like in the middle of making the morning coffee, or even when just driving the car, or just sitting in front of the computer. Like a wave that just comes upon you and all you experience is a just sense of being emotionally overwhelmed.
Well this is not the problem that you think it might be. In fact most of us at some point in our life will need to emotionally detox. Meaning that we are human, and due to nature of life we just stay busy, running around doing all the what we need to do to survive, until one day Life says “enough, time for you to stop and let go, and offload accumulated emotions, you can’t keep holding on for ever, so time is now…”. You don’t even have a say in the matter, life is miraculous in the sense that there is a higher intelligence that is really governing your life, you have the space to evolve. However if we are not listening and actually going with the flow, then life will make you. A bit like a sense of destiny. A divine calling beyond your own ideas of what you think you need.
So spontaneously one day you just start to feel lost, fragile, shaky inside, overwhelmed by a sense of something “coming up” from inside. You cannot “stop” feeling. It can be uncomfortable, but take heart as this is actually a healing, an opening to change in your life. To let go and flow to another level. Evolve as a human being.
Life is always wanting us to change, we cannot stay the same, this is a fact. However when we trust in the process emotional detoxing when done with love, compassion, and kindness, being very gentle with one’s self and actually realising you are going through a “shift” can bring about profound changes in your life, leading to greater joy and happiness and even a complete lifestyle change.
Underneath those emotions that are releasing is your truth, your next creative expression unfolding to allow you live your life fully empowered and in alignment with your Soul. You just may not know what that is yet, however be patient as it is emerging. This is why a True Soul Path Reading can be helpful at these times of transition so you can see more clearly what is your life process and how to best support it. Clarity enables empowerment. You feel more connected to your process consciously. Rather than fearing it.
Be courageous enough to share your transition, get support, and be open to help. You may receive more than you ever dreamed. Life loves us and is always helping us to go to the next level, we just need to be available, let go and flow with it.
In my next post I will share more about how to flow with emotional detoxing, and how to allow this evolution so you can realise there is a purpose unfolding. Emotions when allowed are just energy in motion (e-motion) and how we can make this transition with more ease and how to best support yourself through this time.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with you as you may have judged yourself, you are just emotional detoxing, and growing to your next potential. It is actually a positive sign of change. So soften with it, let go of the judgement and just accept. To feel is to heal. So take care, be kind and nurture yourself and realise change is upon you.
So if you sense you are emotinal detoxing, and would like to share you experiences with us, I invite you to add your comments below, then we may start to see that we are not alone. By sharing with others we can realise there is more support out there than we have thought possible. There are many of us right now going through the exactly same thing. Reaching out, breaks the pattern of isolation and puts back in touch with life.

This is so me right now. Over the past two months I’ve been in a yoga teacher training program. I’ve been extraordinarily busy and not used to having so much on my plate – knowing it would be a lot, I happily accepted it because I knew it’s what I need to do – not having a spare moment for two months was a price I was willing to pay for this opportunity. Needless to say I have a lot of other things going on in my life and some other big recent changes. Well, after about 6 weeks into this schedule packed, new pace, and new experiences time in my life I got super weepy. Super overwhelmed. Heart-achy and on the brink of tears throughout the day. I was feeling so inadequate. I see now that my destiny has just put its foot on the gas, and I haven’t quite caught up to it yet. But I know I will, I just need to give myself the grace to be where I’m at while recognizing that big changes are on my horizon beckoning me forward.
Hi Paula, thanks for your reply. Yes this is exactly what transition is all about and quite commonly we experience the “symptoms” of change, with extra sensitivity arising to allow for the old to dissolve to make way for the new. This is an incredibly vulnerable time, and as you say just accepting where you are in the moment can allow oneself to open to change with more ease. I am touched by what you share as many of us are in major life transitions right now and we do not often really share with one another, so we can realise we are not alone.
In my many years of experience when we allow the depth of feelings arising, we drop to another level where we are able to get in touch with the emergence of our new level of creativity which is wanting to be expressed in the world. Life is about evolving. However change is change, and commonly the mind is not able to accept these changes easily, so we can often go through layers of resistance to the vulnerability as our mind is still attempting to stay in control, gain understanding and hold on to the old so it can feel safe and secure. However when we realise and allow for change and really let go then we are truly allowing our full potential to manifest into our reality. However this can bring up fear. Which is why support during these times can be of great benefit and why I do True Soul Path Readings with people so they can see and be with this process more clearly.
I encourage you on your journey and remind you to at least take even just 5 minutes out each day to just BE with yourself, just breathe, relax, let go and do nothing, so you can let IN the support you need to help you through your transformation. I feel that this is the beginning of a powerful time for you with a deeper sense of your True Self emerging. Wonderful!
