Find True Freedom In Your Life + Relationships
This month is all about freedom.
In the United States July is our Independence Day month. And at open heart holistic therapy, being independent, interdependent, and more deeply connected to our loved ones is a goal. So what better time to focus on personal freedom, creativity, and authenticity than the month of July?
Forgiveness is all about being free.
When I use Emotional Polarity Technique to make forgiveness and affirmations statements, the statements are to help my clients be more free. Forgiveness isn’t about condoning bad behavior, but about letting go of another person's actions controlling our feelings. Being angry forever because of something someone else did is forever tying you to that person and is controlling you. Forgiveness breaks the chains that the other person has and re-empowers you to choose your actions, behavior, and emotions instead of letting their behavior dictate you.

Freedom doesn’t mean there are no boundaries.
Just because you are free, or you set someone else free, doesn’t mean that there are no boundaries. People may think that freedom isn’t fair because some people get to do whatever they want while others don’t. True freedom doesn’t hurt others. True freedom doesn’t enslave anyone else. To be free doesn’t mean anyone and everyone can walk all over anyone else. True freedom is loving and accepting yourself as who you are as good and doing good, and seeing others as just as capable and worthy of goodness. If my freedom is hurting someone else, then we are not truly free.

Freedom isn’t black and white.
We live in a world of particularities and nuance. As much as I would love to see this utopian free loving society where everyone is taken care of and no one is in need, we are a long way off. So, the experience of freedom may only be sometimes or with some people, but that doesn’t negate the experience. To just have a taste of that feeling of being free, worthy, and loved, is always worth it, even if it doesn’t last forever. Those moments of peace and tranquility should not be taken for granted, but should be seen as an example of how it could be better with everyone on this planet. The goal is to help others have this freedom experience more frequently with less destruction and more peace.
Try these affirmations to foster more peace and calm.
So what is the freedom you are looking for?
Freedom to be yourself
Freedom to be creative
Freedom to love who you want to love
Freedom from trauma
Freedom from worry
Freedom from anger
Freedom from insecurity
The holistic therapy, Emotional Polarity Technique, can help with this. Together we figure out what is the root of the issue and then we walk through forgiveness and affirmation statements to help let it go so you can be free.
