💫 Soul Coaching: Day 6

Woke up less than enthused today. At first, I called it depression, then I remembered yesterday's exercise, and depression became "a little tired". Already using these tools! The past few days, I've noticed heat on the bottom of my left foot, near the Kidney 1 acupuncture point. This is the point that I will stimulate in clients to support the dumping of any denser, unwanted, and stagnant energetic debris from the body. It's so interesting that we're working on ridding the excess physical clutter and that this point seems to be activating on its own. It feels similar to when I was first attuned to Reiki and my hands would randomly get really hot. Also, the fact that it's my left foot has significance, I believe. The left is the feminine (Yin) side and my receptive side. Maybe my awareness that I am making peace with my birthplace has initiated an attunement of sorts, allowing me to receive support and energy from a place I long ago rejected, also allowing me further access to my femininity and honoring my position in the female line of my ancestry.
I organized my desk and decluttered some files from my laptop. It's already running more efficiently, and I still have a bit more to do! I'll think I'll upload some larger files to my Google Drive that are currently just hanging out form the various online trainings I've taken and performances I've sung. This will ease my mind against losing them as well! I also moved even more items into my drawers and closets today. I feel like I can't work fast enough, but progress is the goal. I also realized today that the feeling I felt this morning wasn't depression or even fatigue -- I mean they may have been side effects. What was really going on was that I was holding too much charge and not absorbing enough to vitalize my system. I realized this in a few ways: 1. It was hard to take in what I was reading in the book. Had to revisit it a couple of times. 2. I felt relief after journaling -- discharging some of the excess. 3. I was holding tension in my abdomen and restricting my breath. So, I did a brief visualization of the charged qi integrating into my muscle fibers and all the way to my bones. I feel much more relaxed and much lighter now. What was your experience?
