emotions Archives | Eva Hussain

Just like our regular closet, our emotional closet gets filled up with all sorts of things. And just like we periodically get stung by inspiration to Marie Kondo our way through our clothes, it would do us a world of good to unload some of our emotional baggage every now and again.

The funny thing about emotions though, is that, even though they’re biological markers for us to use along the way – and very useful at that – they can get us stuck.

To avoid getting bogged down in cognitive traps spinning your wheels, you need to take your feelings with a grain of salt.

Hearing what your gut feeling says isn’t always easy and the emotional jungle you have to traverse to get to it can be quite dense. However, I assure you that the journey is well worth it and will free up considerable cognitive resources.

Is today the day you dump some of that stuff you’ve been hauling around since 1992?

Birth isn’t just about making babies. It’s also about making mothers: strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.

As wonderful as modern technology is, the medicalisation of birth has distanced us from that inner strength and diminished our connection to ourselves during this transformational process.

The time following giving birth is one of openness and healing. You may feel leaky – both literally and energetically – and not quite like yourself yet.

Traditional midwifery has some wonderful traditions and bodywork techniques that will support you through this time of transitioning and aid in your healing.

Any time is a good time to celebrate birth, motherhood and being a woman!

Hello, Sunshine 🌻

Are you as fed up with the spiritual “love and light” scene as I am? You know, the one that calls for constant positivity even in the face of real trauma and true loss.

Do you feel like there simply has to be something beyond those clichéd positive quotes that, in fact, invalidate your anger, sadness and pain rather than fix it?

If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Because I don’t think it helps to ignore our feelings and tell ourselves that we’re perfect and whole when we feel broken. When real damage has been done.

And being an empath means that you feel deeply, all the time. That’s not an easy life.

It was only after I learned how to balance my empathic sensitivities that I was able to embrace both the good and bad of being an empath, and turn all that energy towards creating the life I really want. And be the person I really want to be.

And I’m here to show you those same practical exercises I use, that will help you navigate your intuition, create those much-needed boundaries and build confidence in the capable person you are.

The process of acknowledging and repairing your fragmented self isn’t always easy or pretty. But it can make you even more beautiful than before, because the wound is where the light enters you, if you just let it in.

xo, Eva
