What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

[Traumagirl]

I am feeling sleepy this morning and I'm hoping my kids can hold it together so I'm not yelling all day. That really stresses me out. I'm a bit depressed today also. I hope this improves as the day goes on.

Hugs to all.

Have a healthy day!

I am feeling very light. I am becoming aware in the present which has only really just made sense to me now.

The inner dialogue, worry and self loathing are become rare rather than the norm.

It is enlightening.

best wishes

I woke up feeling pretty good. I wanted to stay in bed longer but the dog would have none of that. I am still feeling pretty good. No anxiety at all.

I think I hate mornings. It is the time when I seem at loss with myself. That and afternoons. Can't win I guess. There is a brief time in there when I am okay. I wish it remained that way and started that way. Getting up in the morning shouldn't be filled with regret or hesitancy. Despite my dog loving me every morning like I just came home from a long trip. That I look forward too.

Hugs to all who need them and thank you for the reminder to breathe.

I feel ok this morning but I feel like anxiety and hyper vigilance are looming close. My therapist gave me a homework assignment this week that is so triggering I feel like I'm constantly holding my breath. I'm procrastinating doing it. And every little thing has me not just reacting but overreacting.

Amethist told me be about washing it, but I was rubbing it before I knew to do that.

Burying the rose quartz in soil, laying or burying it in some salt (rock salt or sea salt is best, but ordinary salt will do if you can't afford either), or putting it outside under moonlight (especially full moon and especially if laid on some salt) will cleanse it. Never put rose quartz out in sunlight to cleanse, as that will cause it to fade.

You can also try sound cleansing. If you have a bell, or can afford to buy a little bell, place the quartz on some salt and ring the bell over the quartz. If you are familiar with sacred geometry, ringing the bell in sacred geometrical patterns is very effective, as sacred geometry is the blueprint of creation. The sound creates vibration (as sound is caused by vibration) and will interact with the quartz's own natural vibration; it will heighten the quartz's vibration, which will dispel all negative vibrations trapped inside it. :-)

As for how I'm feeling today... I just woke up after sleeping close to 21 hours. A lot of bad memories are sitting close by. They're not loud or overwhelming, but they're close by enough in my conscious mind that I'm aware of them and am feeling exhausted because of it.

I would like just one day without the incessant taunt of bad memories. One day. Why is that too much to ask?

Also remember that some crystals don't like water and some don't like salt.

The moonlight or smudging them through smoke, preferably white sage is best for these. White sage being what the Native American Indians use to cleans all their sacred spaces.

Thank you, amethist. I have so much to learn. I do appreciate everyone's patience with me. and kindness for sharing what you know.

 

[amethist]

There are lots of web pages out there safenow, some really interesting ones. You have to pick through them though, as some are very confusing.

We best take this discussion to the thread below safenow, as we are going off topic of the thread.

At first today, I was feeling useful and a hopeful for getting up and showered, and then making 2 things. The secretary at PT is always extraordinarily kind so I had asked her what her favorite color is, and today I made her a necklace & earrings in the color. Then I made another, with garnet and liked it so much I'm wearing it hahaa...now, I'm sleepy, and I'm wondering how I ended up stringing beads with a master's degree, and I feel like a failure. I'm freezing cold so I dove under the duvet and hopefully, Ill sleep and feel better.

I'm feeling really sad and grievy. I am unsure how I am going to get through this day as I have to work, and again tomorrow. I don't want to work, I want to stay under the covers for the whole day crying.

My mother rejecting me has really hit me after a delayed time. I feel rejected, abandoned, so sad, so hurt, annihilated.
