Managing Emotions with the "Butterfly Hug"

Emotions are part of our lives, they make up what is called quality of life. When we want something specific, it is because we imagine having a certain emotion when we get that thing or achieve that goal. So it's mainly about emotions, about our inner world and not about the external world.


We live in turbulent times in which change is taking place. This change is happening all over the earth. Since 2020, this change has accelerated rapidly, but that was just the prelude, so to speak. Since January 20, 2024 (Pluto in Aquarius) and February 11, 2024 (extremely strong solar x flares), it has been clear: change is happening in the here and now and it is getting faster and stronger.


Such transformation processes are accompanied by changes internally and externally. However, we cannot change if we attribute all responsibility to the outside world. We are responsible for our own emotions. Our emotional bodies are shaken massivel - spin cycle. So there's no harm in learning a few self-regulation measures.


Empaths may be a little ahead of others here because they have always had to deal with high emotional waves. Now we can help others to shape their emotional world consciously and responsibly.


Why? Because change is unstoppable. Resisting change will only make it seem more confusing and intense. It is a shift in consciousness that leads to us recognizing who we really are and accepting our true greatness and potential. Of course we are responsible for this ourselves, but we have a lot of helpers.


Earth is finally waking up from the nightmare of millennia of manipulation. There is still shaking. Some people take longer to wake up from sleep. There are always things that we have not yet recognized. Things like that are coming to light now and that's a good thing.


We certainly don't want to be tossed back and forth by our emotions that are accompanied by global change. We should learn neither to suppress them nor to take them too seriously. Emotions are what they are. They just want to be “in motion”, felt and accepted. Emotions that we suppress or numb with substances (and behaviors) can cause physical manifestations and will need to be brought out by greater shaking (external events).


But that can be avoided. We have this in our own hands and can learn how to deal with our emotions.

When a pleasant emotion arises, we want to feel it, we want to perceive it and sense it. We can also perceive and feel so-called “negative” emotions without judging them. The judgement is the problem. If you know that emotions neither can nor want to harm us, but that they simply want to be acknowledged, you can train to observe them. Observation releases attachments and allows emotions to flow. In order to become “whole” again, we have to accept that we not only have positive things within us, but also negative things, which we can rebalance through equilibrium.


If we want to feel and perceive emotions, we have to be “in the body” and not “in the head” or "in the mind". The mind can only evaluate the emotions, the body feels them. Most of the time our minds are not very helpful when it comes to emotions because we cannot discuss them. emotions are. But the mind has all sorts of tricks up its sleeve to escape from emotions and distract us from feeling.


Most of the time the emotions are blamed on other people. However, this does not solve the “problem”. Others can be our triggers, but they cannot trigger our emotions or feel for us. That's impossible. With this attitude, the emotions are still stuck somewhere in the body, waiting to finally be released, to be felt. Only repressed emotions burst out. Balanced emotions that we perceive are in flux.


Exercise to start "Feeling Your Emotions"


This is how you get in touch with your emotions more quickly:


1.) Hold your hands on your body, preferably on your heart or stomach

2.) Breathe in and out deeply.

3.) Ask your body what emotion is that? Where does it come from? What does it want to tell you? Is it even your emotion? Is it an old emotion or is it appearing for the first time now?


Through these questions you automatically come into observation, which means you become an observer and are no longer a victim of your emotions, which only want you to feel into them.


The emotions are then no longer so "harsh", they have nothing to do with the emotions that you were so afraid of. It is simply a change of perspective from victim to observer - a detached feeling.



What's the "Butterfly Hug"?

The Butterfly Hug is a therapeutic technique commonly used in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is a psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals process distressing memories and experiences. The Butterfly Hug is a bilateral stimulation method, which means it involves rhythmic left-right movements.

Here's a brief description of the Butterfly Hug technique:


1.) Hand Positioning:

  • Begin by crossing your arms in front of your chest, similar to giving yourself a hug.
  • Place your hands on your upper arms, with your fingertips on the shoulders.

2.) Bilateral Stimulation:

  • While in the crossed-arm position, tap your left hand on your right shoulder and your right hand on your left shoulder.
  • Maintain a steady, rhythmic pace, creating a bilateral (left-right) stimulation.

3.) Breathing and Focus:

  • Take slow and deep breaths as you engage in the bilateral tapping.
  • Focus on the distressing memory, thought, or emotion that you are working to process.5.) 4.)4.)

4.) Guided by Therapist:

  • In the context of EMDR therapy, the therapist may guide the individual through the Butterfly Hug while addressing specific target memories or issues.


The Butterfly Hug is thought to stimulate both hemispheres of the brain, facilitating the processing of traumatic memories and reducing emotional distress. It is often used in conjunction with other EMDR techniques to promote healing and resolution.

It's important to note that while the Butterfly Hug can be effective for some individuals, its application and efficacy may vary. This technique is typically introduced and guided by trained mental health professionals, especially within the framework of EMDR therapy.

Practice the “Butterfly Hug” Technique:


  • You can apply the butterfly hug on your chest, shoulders, upper arms, or knees.
  • Simply close your eyes, take a deep breath, and gently tap.
  • Consider saying a positive affirmation to amplify the calming effect, like: “I am loved”, “I can overcome this”, “I am safe and protected”.
  • Give this effective affirmation a try: “Everything is falling into place for my highest good. I am safe, and only positivity will come out of this situation.”
  • Continue tapping and repeating your chosen affirmation.
  • Keep at it until you feel more at ease, for as short or long as you need.
  • Take a break or combine the butterfly hug with other self-regulation methods.

DEUTSCH


Das Herzchakra ist das wichtigste Chakra der Neuen Zeit, in der es weniger um den Verstand sondern mehr um das Fühlen geht.


Das Herzchakra besteht aus 33 Kammern, die jeweils ganz unterschiedliche Qualitäten besitzen, wie:

  • Selbstliebe
  • Nächstenliebe
  • Mutterliebe
  • Mitgefühl
  • Empathie
  • Bedingungslose Liebe
  • Vergebung
  • Transzendente Liebe
  • Kosmische Liebe
  • Einheit


Ist unser Herzchakra blockiert, dann können wir Liebe oft nicht zulassen, wir empfinden keine echte Selbstliebe oder können nicht richtig auf andere zugehen. Mitgefühl wird dann eher als Mitleid empfunden und es fällt uns schwer, anderen wirklich zu vertrauen.


Wenn man gerade keine Zeit für eine ausgiebige Meditation hat, dann ist diese kurze Herzchakra Aktivierung sehr hilfreich, um dich wieder in deine Mitte zu bringen. Sie wirkt umgehend und man fühlt sich gleich besser damit, weil man wieder mit sich selbst verbunden ist. Bei Stress oder Traurigkeit kann sie dir helfen, wieder in die eigene Mitte zu kommen. Je nach Situation kann es hilfreich sein, die Herzchakra Aktivierung mehrmals am Tag zwischendurch laufen lassen.


Wir wünschen viel Spaß mit diesem Geschenk!

The heart chakra is the most important chakra of the new era, in which it is less about the mind and more about feeling.


The heart chakra consists of 33 chambers, each with very different qualities, such as:

  • Self love
  • Charity
  • Motherly love
  • Compassion
  • Empathy
  • Unconditional Love
  • Forgiveness
  • Transcendent love
  • Cosmic love
  • Oneness.


If our heart chakra is blocked, we often cannot allow love, we do not feel real self-love or we cannot approach others properly. Compassion is then felt more as pity and we find it difficult to really trust others.


If you don't have time for an extensive meditation, this short heart chakra activation is very helpful to bring you back to your center. It works immediately and you feel better with it because you are reconnected with yourself. When you are stressed or sad, it can help you find your center again. Depending on the situation, it can be helpful to run the heart chakra activation several times a day in between.


We hope you enjoy this gift!
