Are You Suppressing Your Emotions and Neglecting Self-Love and Compassion?

This message is inviting you to offer yourself self-love when you feel in the depths of emotional waters.

With the first card, water it is about the allowing of all your emotions to flow with compassion and ease, don't suppress your feelings or your voice otherwise you could find yourself drowning from within. The rocks in the card are showing me this suppression, where maybe you have built a dam to contain all that you feel. Life tells you that being emotional is weak and wrong and that you should hide your feelings, your tears and to stay strong but feelings are what makes you human, they are as natural as your breath and yet you can fear them. The angel has her eyes closed which symbolises self-connection to your inner world. Her heart is open, shoulders back and is looking up, I'm feeling she is rooted and honouring what she is feeling without guilt, shame or anger, without self-judgement and she is reminding you that you have the strength to do this also. With the Sun shining it shows me there is always light shining upon your heart, always love around you. The eye in the picture makes me feel sad and it looks like she's crying, this is telling me that you are allowed to cry, allowed to feel sad, let go and release all that you have held in for so long.

With the second card, Self-appreciation it is saying to you allow this time to nurture your heart, mind and emotions with more self-love and care, stop judging and shaming yourself for being emotional, wrap yourself in comfort and beauty. Rose essential oil and rose tea have popped into my mind, this is essence of love and will do wonders to help heal your heart and soothe you as you move through this emotional phase and know that emotions are always flowing, if you allow them, how many times have you started your morning happy but feel angry by lunchtime? or while watching a film where you are laughing in one scene and crying in the next? Whatever you are going through emotionally, this is your space to feel them all and allow them to come up and then let them go. just as your breathing comes and go.

The third card, Earth is inviting you to ground yourself as you move through the emotions, I am picking up a lot of amethyst crystal energy which is amazing for calming and soothing and grounding you. Emotions can feel overwhelming, swimming in your mind if you don't allow them to flow. You can keep feeling stuck in despair and anger the more you hold onto them and/or supress them. In these moments you need to move that energy, through walks, workouts, shaking, pillow punching, sobbing, the idea is to move the emotions from your mental mind out through your physical body in a safe space.

The overall message of these cards is to stop suppressing and even distracting yourself with work, drink, scrolling on socials and films to avoid your emotions and what you are currently feeling. Spend some quiet time with yourself, allow your emotions to flow, give yourself compassion and self-love as you let yourself feel and release all the emotions you have been supressing.
