Emotional Freedom for Women


Emotional freedom is what we all strive for, our deepest desire, whether we are a man or a woman. We all want to be free of our emotional baggage, the limiting beliefs and trapped emotions that determine our life.



The female essence is being repressed by many, consciously or unconsciously. This innate female power, this wisdom, always available to us, wants to have a chance to be expressed, to be part of life. Through my own healing experience, which wasn't a straight road, but a path with many obstacles, I have eventually discovered the connection to that power within, and so, I am dedicating my work to all women and their battles, because they are often burdened with generations of beliefs and trapped emotions without them even knowing.


Our world today is dominated by the male energy, and women are still being portrayed as the weaker sex. So, we see women who have climbed up the latter of success in politics, for instance, who have literally traded their feminine energies for the male dominant essence. They have to prove themselves in a man's world and do not realize the power in the feminine essence, the strength they were born with.


This exchange often happens automatically, especially in the event of a divorce or separation, as the mother now also has to become a father figure. Through various events in her life, she unconsciously learns to suppress her feminine essence and more and more accepts the male energies. Perhaps, through childhood experiences, she has taken on her role as mother and partner in the way her own mother portrayed it to her. The possibilities are almost endless.


And these experiences have shaped us. We suppress emotions that actually call for healing. We do what we think will make others happy. We repress what we think makes us unlovable and change ourselves in the hopes of being loved. So, we live a lie and become trapped. We believe something is wrong with us.


Let's go back a few years....


As children, we might have been given some sweets or a toy to comfort us when we were sad or angry. It wasn't common to talk about feelings, especially if the parents did not know how to be compassionate. And as long as we keep repressing these feelings and do not make room for them, we remain trapped because we allow little or no space for this fundamental female essence of love and compassion.


I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for many years, from 1995-2005. During this time I discovered a study about women's health. At that time, Utah was the state with the highest rates of Prozac use among women, sexual assault and pornography addiction among men. I was a young, single mother at the time and I wanted nothing more than to get away from this culture. I actually felt this invisible cloud of depression over Salt Lake City, but I couldn't really explain it to anyone, or maybe they thought I was crazy. Until I came across all sorts of people who felt the same thing.


Back in Switzerland, I felt this urge for emotional freedom more and more. However, I didn't know what was holding me back. I thought I had the solution, but there were unconscious forces holding me captive.


So, I went on this journey of discovery, and it felt like I was on open sea in this little boat. I knew my destination, but even though I thought I was moving forward, my island of liberation was never in sight. There were days when I was happy and felt a release, and then suddenly another storm was approaching.


Our decisions

How many people make decisions being guided by their conscious minds? It is over 90% because we are all manipulated by the unconscious fears that we have not yet resolved. Often we think we have solved it, but then a situation forces us out of our comfort zone and brings to the surface the very thing we thought we had already solved.


Or how many people are what they are because that's what they were taught as children. "You have to be a good woman and have children. What do you want in music anyway? Music is not for you. You have to, you should, it's better if...."


And so we make decisions based on what someone has told us. We are stuck, often in the unconscious trap of always seeking validation, thinking we have to be like the others because we let ourselves be guided by reason and not by truth.


Emotional freedom means to be following the whispers of your heart.


But we make most decisions out of fear, which we have packed in a box. And from this box, in which we have packed ourselves and our self-limited beliefs and trapped emotions, we create our lives. However, our desire for emotional freedom, for wonderful feelings and experiences, is outside of this box.


Society has taught us who we should be, what we have to learn in school, and that we can only achieve something in life if we get good grades, etc. These are all illusions of fear, because the mind is constantly playing games with us, because its job is to keep us small, and that's why we have learned to follow the mind instead of the heart, because we want to feel safe, but is this truly the happy path???


Why are so many people dissatisfied? What do you think?

I believe because they do not allow themselves to follow the whispers of their heart. But also because they carry too much pain in their backpack and are not ready to put it down. And so they only move within this box, self-limiting their lives.


But once you understand what is truly possible for you, you start to kick in the walls of that box and make decisions based on your heart's desire.



What you really want is outside of this box

Discover emotional freedom by following your heart. Connect with the ancient knowledge within you, the wisdom of the feminine essence. Follow your impulses by listening deeply into your heart. Release what no longer belongs to you and celebrate your life, even if it means starting all over again. And when the mind is playing with you, find a quiet place for yourself and breathe deeply into your stomach and let everything go by exhaling through your mouth. Open your mouth and release all toxic thoughts. Just be with yourself and always focus on your breathing until you feel a connection to your spiritual heart.


The feminine energy is: love, compassion, connection, patience, creativity, intuition. Become the creator of your life. Pick up the brush and infuse your canvas with the colors and energies that will truly make you shine.
