And what to do when it shows up

Here's the sequence:

Unmet needs lead to disappointment.
Disappointment gives rise to grief.
Unresolved grief turns into resentment.
Holding onto resentment creates anger.

Welcome to Earth. Welcome to being a human. There is a 100% likelihood that to varying degrees, we will all feel unseen, unheard, or not loved in ways that we want to be loved.

When we're children, we aren't able to fully process not having our needs met. The implicit grief registers in our energy field and we haul it around until we're mature enough to process it on our own or until we can afford therapy, whichever comes first.

If we don't treat our grief with compassion, it thickens into resentment over time. Resentment is one of the root causes of cynicism and doubt. Resentment often causes us to hoard resources out of fear. Resentment is a huge obstacle to abundance.

Holding onto our unmet needs perpetuates not having our needs met in the present. It becomes this vicious cycle of chasing and not receiving.

If you fight your anger, it will fight you right back. Your anger is looking to be seen, to be heard, to be loved. Bless it, and it will stop acting out.

What we embrace transforms and makes us more loving.

Listen in. Then we're doing the Centering Practice together. We'll work with the full spectrum of colour. This is you being the energy healer.

With Love,
Danielle

What you push away pushes back

Here's the physics principle: What you push away pushes back. And while it's pushing back, it's building its own muscle. What we push away grows stronger.

We have to be in relationship with our fears, not in opposition to them.

Most fear is based on past experience that we project into the future. The catch? Fighting our fear creates this inner battle. That inner battle is such an energy burn. So draining. So hard on the nervous system.

The irony is that we created the fear. Every single one of our fears comes from the unconscious mind. Each one is a mind baby. You are the mother, the father, the parent of all of your fears. Your job? It's to lovingly parent them. Not to deny them. Not to abandon them. (That would make you a very bad parent.)

Relax your grip on your fear.

You bring your fear into your heart. You have a conversation with it. You say, I hear you. I've got you. And the Divine has me.

As long as we are running away from fear, we don't look at it. The moment we stop and look at fear, it begins to dissolve.

In this episode of With Love, Danielle, I'm breaking down how to have a healthy relationship with your fear. With content from my new book Bless & Release.

Then we're doing the Centering Practice together—focusing on one of your fears. We'll work with the full spectrum of light and colour frequencies. Pinks, peach tones, golds, minty greens, sky blues, violet. You're rainbow-healing your fear. This is you being the energy worker. You're doing the healing.

With Love,
Danielle

This is physics. This is metaphysics. This is the power move.

A sneak peek from my new book, Bless & Release…

We need a new relationship with our emotions and ambitions. Because clearly, the current one is not working.

Here's a radical idea: Instead of repressing, rejecting, or ignoring our suffering, we bring it even closer. Within. Gently. As if we were blessing it.

As if we were alchemists and energy workers. Because we are.

Listen in for the 21 principles of blessing and releasing. The philosophical ground everything is built upon.

This is physics. And this is metaphysics. And this is the power move that will change everything.
