We all carry in our body the emotional baggage of a lifetime.
From early childhood on, you have been dealing with emotions that
were too difficult for a child to express: Fears - who is more powerless
than a little child? Pain. Anger. Yearning to be loved…
You couldn't express these feelings as a child, but they didn't just
go away. Your muscles functioned as shock absorbers, so to speak.
Little by little, what you couldn't process with your mind sculpted
your muscles, your posture, your body language.
Over the course of your life, this has become a body armor that is
so familiar, you can't conceive of a different way of being. And yet...
this armor is preventing you from fully experiencing pleasure and
fulfillment.
As you become more familiar with your emotional baggage, you become
more capable of tapping into your emotional intelligence: your inner
power to grow and get more out of life.
