feeling your feelings
Who would we be without the intelligence of our feelings?
Our feelings are our limitless vocabulary to helping us explore our true identity. Held within this vast encyclopaedic landscape of creative and expressive energy, you reside.
Believing we are good listeners, good communicators and articulate in our expressive voice seems true until we are challenged by our bulging hearts and foggy brains to speak up for our Self. Facing the lethargy of overwhelming emotional weight can feel too hard to hold. Behind big feelings are our stories of remembering who is waiting. It is you.
You ARE the meeting place of suspended unharnessed emotional energy. You ARE free to fall ever so gently into the safe arms of pure intelligence. Loving intelligence. Trusting intelligence. Emotional intelligence where you dare to meet the love you are through the stories you discover.
A marriage of love and forgiveness when it comes down to it, held without the burdon of judgment or any other weight. It is an embracing of your loving Self with all the other parts of you. It is a joining to feel whole.
And in this joining you begin to remember you are shiny in your power, loving in your heart. Aware in your Spirit. Walking in tune with nature, as nature intended, ready to express and experience in new ways. Awake to hearing just how strong you can be.
Why do we have feelings?
To find our voice so we can tell our stories of love and forgiveness as only we can feel it. Where we bravely learn to harmonise our listening to all listening.
We have our feelings to teach us how to be strong in our Mind. How to love and support our Self so we can be the strength needed to support others. So we can sew the seeds of strength into our family to ensure our loved ones learn how to be just as strong in their Mind.
Our feelings are our language for reaching deep into the endless well of our Soul, and to discover our Self over and over. To become the wise elders of knowledge where the understanding of responsibility is etched deep into our Mind, never again to be forgotten. What we value will live on in our children and their children, preserving ‘the way’ of how it should be.
What is a feeling?
A feeling is a vibration of energy that moves through our entire body. It is a sensation that harmonises with our breath and our heart beat when we listen carefully. When we are still. Aware. Observant. Curious in our thinking.
Feelings when flowing have no weight. They want for nothing because we want for nothing. Their colours are just that, no more brighter or duller than any other colour. We are unlimited in our choices when we feel our way.
Freedom is the free flowing movement of thoughts in tune with the free flow of our feelings. Peace.
When we are in this state of peace energy signals are sent from our intelligent Mind to our brains, which then sends chemical and electrical impulses through our body, to communicate this state of peacefulness. It becomes our habit and teaches our nervous system to feel calm.
Reality.
What is real is always present. It is the meeting of awareness with awareness, Soul to Soul, essence to essence. We sense who we are when we are present, and we sense it in other people. Outside of this nothing is real.
Emotions.
An emotion is when a thought is attached to feeling. Our emotions are our way of communicating with us and to those around us, including our environment. They are our gift to receive whenever we want. Freely.
What feels real and what is make believe.
Thoughts are also energy forms. A thought has an attachment, a belief that can send our imagination in all sorts of directions. And our body too.
Beliefs are not real. They are illusions. Figments of our imagination. The stronger the belief the more intense the emotional energy.
Transforming heavy feelings
The purpose of feelings is to help us rearrange the patterns of our Mind so we remember how to move in harmony with our nature. Our feelings are our way of expressing as love intended us to express.
By paying attention to our thoughts and feelings by being present, we can challenge the belief behind the thought.
Challenging our beliefs
It takes courage to lean into our big feelings and an enormous willingness to pause (make space) so we can tune in to our Self, and when we do, we find that inside every single overwhelming emotion is love waiting to be expressed.
Touching our tender prickles, knots and stickiness allows life to move through us. They don’t go anywhere. They just wait until we are ready. It feels really hard and scary to begin with that soon changes.
We know from listening to our feelings when we are honest in our Heart. We cannot always express what we are feeling but our gut and our Heart gives us signals. We also know when it does not feel right. Being honest with our Self is to challenge the thoughts and behaviours behind our discomfort and vulnerable feelings.
To feel our feelings we need space. And in that space we need time and patience to learn how to nourish what has not been nourished. And only we can know what it is we most need. And how to get the very skills and life experience to feel strong, empowered and happy for our Self, and for all those around us.
Our feelings are the source of our power, our creativity and unlimited abundance.
There is a fundamental underlying order of the universe and the natural flow of all things. A flow our Mind feels.
