• We have more time now to do something about our emotional baggage 

 
Life, nearly 100 years ago, was hard. Data from 1920 reveals that 44 hours were spent on preparing daily meals and cleaning up after them each week. Most people struggled to make a living and to feed themselves. Survival was more a consideration than the luxury of emotion. It has only been in the late twentieth century that a standard of living enabled us to have the space to reflect on our emotions. Now, no longer challenged with threats to our daily survival, we can instead explore less concrete pursuits.

When we are concerned with survival we will suppress emotions to get through what is. Since we are blessed to live in a culture which allows emotion, we may be the generations who are blessed - or cursed, depending on how you look at it, to release the trauma of millennia. Survival was more a consideration than the luxury of emotion. As my grandmother used to say “we managed perfectly well without emotions in my day”. Now, no longer challenged with threats to our daily survival, we can instead explore less concrete pursuits.

Current developments in therapy are leaning towards a more integrated body-mind approach which recognizes the importance of the nervous system and the body in holding and releasing emotion.

Once we have released our emotional inherent baggage, we may then be able to move into a less emotionally volatile and more energetically sensitive state of being.

Wherever humanity goes next, we, in the current living generations, have been given the luxury of the time, the space and the tools to release our inherited emotional blocks. If we release these it may just allow us to improve our quality of life.
