Sadness is not a pleasant emotion, but rather one that hurts (if you have felt it deeply, you will know what I am talking about). Sadness appears when we lose something or someone, and all losses, whether big or small, are painful. Because it hurts, we do whatever is necessary not to connect with it and not to feel it. We fill our time with mindless activities so as not to feel the emptiness of sadness\u2026 and I\u2019m not judging! But sadness does not appear to annoy us, it also has a beautiful function\u2026 Sadness is an emotion that connects us with a very deep and wise part of ourselves, an essential part of ourselves that allows us to assimilate, integrate, and let go of that which no longer belongs to us (in reality, it never belonged to us, but I\u2019ll talk about this in another blog entry).<\/p>\n<p>This is why it is important to give some space to sadness. For our personal and spiritual growth, it is necessary to connect with this essential wound, with this vulnerability that is so uncomfortable for us, with this pain that is sometimes unbearable\u2026 because from here the deepest lessons and the most beautiful light will emerge! Letting ourselves feel sadness deeply, moving through it, and as a result of the deep learning that this emotion gifts us, letting go of what was never ours and giving ourselves up to life!<\/p>\n<p>If sadness has become a travelling companion or a permanent state of mind for you, I invite you to become aware of when this sadness began (some loss or feeling of abandonment may be behind it), bring awareness to this feeling, and embrace yourself within it\u2026 Only from a place of understanding and compassion can this emotion be released. So embrace yourself, pamper yourself in the pain of loss, and\u2014 above all\u2014 LOVE YOURSELF!<\/p>\n<p>If you want to transform your sadness and move through it in order to release it, and you aren\u2019t able to do it alone, there are several therapies that might be able to help you.

(si la has sentido en profundidad sabr\u00e1s de lo que hablo). Y es que la tristeza aparece ante la p\u00e9rdida de algo o de alguien, y las p\u00e9rdidas, grandes o peque\u00f1as, son dolorosas. Por eso, porque duele, hacemos lo imposible para no conectar con ella y para no sentirla\u2026 Llenamos nuestro tiempo de actividades sin sentido con tal de no sentir ese vac\u00edo de la tristeza\u2026 \u00a1\u00a1y no lo juzgo!! Pero la tristeza no aparece para fastidiarnos, tiene una funci\u00f3n hermosa... La tristeza es una emoci\u00f3n que nos conecta con una parte de nosotr@s muy profunda y sabia, una parte esencial que nos permite asimilar, integrar y soltar aquello que ya no nos pertenece (en realidad nunca nos perteneci\u00f3, pero de esto hablar\u00e9 en otra entrada al Blog).\nEs por eso que es importante darle un espacio a la tristeza\u2026 Para nuestro crecimiento personal y espiritual, es necesario conectar con esa herida esencial, con esa vulnerabilidad que tanto nos incomoda, con ese dolor a veces insoportable...porque desde ah\u00ed surgir\u00e1n los aprendizajes m\u00e1s profundos y la luz m\u00e1s bella! Permit\u00e1monos experimentar la tristeza profundamente, atravesarla y, tras el aprendizaje profundo que esta emoci\u00f3n nos regala, soltar eso que nunca fue nuestro y entregarnos a la vida!\nSi la tristeza se ha convertido en tu compa\u00f1era de viaje y se volvi\u00f3 un estado de \u00e1nimo, te invito a que tomes conciencia de cu\u00e1ndo empez\u00f3 esa tristeza (alguna p\u00e9rdida o sensaci\u00f3n de abandono puede estar detr\u00e1s), ponle conciencia y abr\u00e1zate en eso\u2026S\u00f3lo desde la comprensi\u00f3n y la compasi\u00f3n se puede liberar esta emoci\u00f3n.
