E-motions are energy in motion. Unhindered emotions run freely. They run through our bodies like water runs through the mountains, creating new patterns and making new paths. Then at times running with a force so strong that it moves us so deeply within that we become physically unable to handle them sending us into a tailspin. This creates fear within us and we begin to suppress these emotions due to our inability to control them.

We hear a lot about change. “For things to change, we must change some things”. “Insanity is to believe that if you keep doing the same things you will get a different result”. We hear “practice makes perfect”. But if we keep practicing the same mistakes over and over again we just get better at making those mistakes.
