1. When was the last time you felt not okay—and let yourself be with it, sit with it, or relate to yourself?

This might look like going for a walk in nature, journaling through a hard moment, or letting yourself cry or speak honestly with a loved one or therapist. Write down the number associated with your response.

2. Have you felt a range of emotions recently—like anger, sadness, fear, joy, or gratitude?

This includes the “cousins” of each emotion, for example, anger can show up as frustration, irritation, or annoyance. Sadness might feel more like disappointment, feeling down, or low. Fear may appear as anxiety, overwhelm, confusion, or doubt. Joy can look like excitement, contentment, or simply feeling good. And gratitude often comes through as calm, peace, or a quiet sense of contentment. Write down your total for this question.

3. When was the last time you cried?

This could be at a wedding, during a movie, while watching a touching video, or because of grief. Any reason counts. Write down the number associated with your response.

4. When someone gets emotional or starts to cry in front of you, how do you usually respond?

Choose the response that best reflects how you most often respond. Write down the number that corresponds to your answer.

5. Tally and Reflection

Add up your total score from the questions above. Use the reflections below only as encouragement, not as any kind of diagnosis. Afterward, take a few moments to jot down any insights, feelings, or reminders you’d like to carry forward.

0 - 3. Start Gently, with Love. You’ve done such a beautiful job staying strong, maybe for others, maybe for yourself, and that strength has likely come at a cost. You might not have had the space or support to truly feel your own emotions. That’s okay. You’re not behind. In fact, you’re right on time. This book will gently support you in beginning to feel safely. And as you do, you may discover that your emotions aren’t too much, they’re actually the key to deeper healing, connection, and real relationships. Feeling isn’t a burden.

4 – 7: Ready to Go Deeper. You’ve already begun the brave work of feeling your emotions and honoring what’s true for you. That’s an incredible start, and a strong foundation for what’s next. This book is here to walk with you as you deepen that emotional honesty, not just to ease pain, but to transform it. As you move through these practices, you may notice your connection with your Rainbow One expanding… and your connection with yourself growing stronger too. If you can, invite a trusted friend, therapist, or support circle to walk with you, grieving together can be a sacred gift.

8 – 11: Emotionally Awake and Growing. You’ve clearly done deep work already, and it shows. You’re likely familiar with the clarity, strength, and connection that come from emotional presence. This next chapter of your healing journey will invite you to go even further, not by pushing, but by softening. By choosing to grieve consciously, you’ll open space to release what no longer serves and receive what’s waiting for you: renewed purpose, deeper trust, and more joy. Let this book support you in turning emotion into wisdom, and grief into guidance.

12 – 14: Living the Work. You are aware that you’re a rare and radiant Soul. You’ve done so much inner work already, and you’re likely someone who feels the presence of your Rainbow One often. This book will offer tools and experiences to help you expand even more—into your gifts, your spiritual purpose, and your role as a bright Light in this world. You’re not just healing for yourself. You’re becoming an example of what’s possible when Love leads the way. Let this journey support you in becoming a guide, a lighthouse, and a living reminder that connection never ends.

Grief isn’t a detour from life—it’s the path back to it.

When we stop avoiding and start allowing our pain and our own Loving, we awaken something sacred inside us. Your grief is not too much. It’s an invitation to come home to yourself, and reclaim the power of your Love within.
