Healing from painful emotions
         Nora Femenia, Ph.D

 As we are wired to feel as much pain
   as joy, you need to learn how to
           manage your pain
1st Step: Becoming calm
  Spend 15 minutes each day in a quiet setting
  where you can close your eyes and turn inward.
• Focus on your breath. Feel it come in through
  your nostrils, expanding your lungs and
  diaphragm.
• Listen to your body: what sensations do you feel?
  Start with skin sensations, then go deeper to feel
  the tingling of energy flowing through your body.
2nd Step: Meditation
• Meditation moments are important.
• Throughout the day, take the time to notice
  your present breathing, thoughts and
  emotions.
• Without judging anything as good or bad, just
  notice what you feel, and then go back to your
  work.
• See if you can bring this focus to your daily
  tasks.
3rd Step: Watching your emotions
• Let emotions flow without critique .
• As you become more aware of the present
  moment, you will begin to sense emotions as they
  arise.
• Before you try to cover them up with thinking,
  eating or business, simply observe them:
• What sensations are connected to them? Do you
  feel tightness, resistance, hollowness or some
  other physical experience? Where in your body do
  they reside?
4th step: Embracing your emotions
• When ready to go into deeper emotional pain, begin
  relaxing your body, calm your mind and connect to
  your spiritual self.
• Be gentle, kind and compassionate with yourself.
  Remember that those emotions are there for a
  purpose.
• Now, as you embrace them, acknowledge and release
  them...see your painful feelings fly away from you,
  into the air, away and away…
Repeat this affirmation:
• “I accept that I was hurting from…. now, from my
  adult self, I release this hurt, forgive the person who
  did this to me and put everything in my memory.
• This emotion will not visit me any longer.”
• Now, you are done! Watch the results!

Testimonial from an abused wife

•   "I wish I had know from the beginning what I know now. I feel things
    would have been so different, and I would been spared the amount of
    pain, drama and humiliation I suffered in my married life, since according
    to him: "everything was my fault”, of course.
•   I was a perfect personality type to be the victim of an aggressive
    boyfriend, as my mother and other relatives were too in my childhood.
    Ironically, this has been the cause of my painful inability to establish a
    positive self-esteem and find happiness in my life. I feel so blessed to have
    found your help.
•   Nora, you are a great coach. I now have permission to fight back! The
    awareness you have given me has changed my life. I am no longer a victim
    of other people’s aggressive behaviors, and it feels wonderful!"
•   Denise Withers, Pennsylvania
Testimonial from a person lacking self-respect

• “I was in a miserable situation. I never understood what I did to
  deserve being yelled at by my husband and made fun of when he
  was drinking with his friends.
• I would make myself sick from crying; both my body and heart were
  tired and I was completely unhappy.
• I didn’t understand that I had an obligation to myself to stand up and
  say NO to this behavior in my husband and by any other person.
• Nora, you gave me the right to defend myself with grace. Now, he’s
  actually apologizing to me and being gentler and attentive!”—

Terry Nichols, Naples, FL
