Are you afraid to put your face into the ocean?
In the years of my healing work I have seen a pattern with releasing your emotions, especially crying, connected to the fear of putting your trust into the big bodies of water.
I grew up and took swimming lessons as far as I could go- so I figured the snorkelling in the ocean would be easy as 1-2-3.
I was wrong. The ocean scared me 15 years ago. I was afraid of what was underneath.
I began to dive into what was causing this. As a child I felt shy about expressing my emotions-crying especially.
As I dove into the connection between water and withholding tears I started to see a pattern. The lack in trusting the ocean corresponds with the lack of feeling free to share my tears.
As I began to release the old patterns of holding emotions within I soon began to trust the depths of the ocean.
Water is fluid, peaceful and can sometimes be turbulent, just as our emotions.
So if you resonate with my story begin to look within. Ask yourself when you began to withhold your tears, swallowing your pain?
What I discovered is that there is a beautiful world under the ocean's view; magical in fact.
Now, I swim the iron man buoys for pleasure when I am on the Big Island of Hawaii, I received my PADI certification, SUP, deep dive and connect with wild dolphins and have even swam with the pilot whales. My bucket list is to swim with the humpback whales in the French Polynesia one day.
So you can work through anything I promise. If I can do it so can. you.
