Emotional healing is an idea whose time has come. It is often ignored and swept under a rug, the old “elephant in the room” that people pretend that they don’t see. This is truly unfortunate as emotions are the fuel that runs the engine of our life.
Our intellect, logic and actions cannot rise above the quality of our perceptions, and emotions have more impact on our perception than what we think. This is also one reason why change can be so difficult for people.
We often think we want to change but because of our fear of feeling “bad” emotions, when uncomfortable feelings show up, we distract ourselves with all manner of drama, from workaholism to, well, all manner of additions and procrastination. And it’s not just our self-esteem and confidence on the table.
85% of all disease is stress-related, and stress is an emotional disease. Note the word “dis-ease”, or not at ease. The electrical energy of emotion is 60 times greater than thought and the magnetic energy is 5,000 times greater that thought.
In other words, when you feel good, you are a powerful attractor of that which resonates with the vibration of that feeling and when you feel “bad” you are going be on the “vibe” of these kinds of experiences. Science shows we live in a vibratory universe and like attracts like.
I use to be terrified of feeling pain, and there is a reason for this that often links back to early childhood, though not always. The long/short of it is, I discovered that once I stopped seeing feelings as something to be avoided, I was able to stop judging them and not dealing with my life.
One of the first steps to freedom, emotional freedom, is to stop judging yourself and to learn tools and techniques to separate your sense of self from your thoughts and feelings. As Shakespeare said:
“Nothing is good or bad except thinking makes it so”
There is so much relativity to life and when I let go of my judgments and fears, and used simple tools that are now available to release destructive energy patterns from my body (by the way, emotions/memory is held in the body at a cellular level so it is in your best interest to release old drama), I began to have compassion for myself and feel good again about myself and life itself. I also became happier!
Needless to say, my relationships also improved and continue to do so. As long as you have breath in your body, you will experience emotion. They are the “spice of life” and they are just nature’s way of letting you know when you are aligned with the energy of love or fear.
Making peace with feelings and learning how to consciously deal with them is a sure way of releasing the shackles of shame that binds you and keep you in destructive patterns that hold you back from living a life you love. When you are free to love, you are free to heal.
Here is an article I found today on The Huffington Post regarding the PBS series entitled “The Emotional Life” Click Here
Emotions are not so much as “mental” as they are a part of the overall bodily physiologic process. Changing the way we see emotional repression is the next step in the journey to living healthier lifestyles and reclaiming our personal power.
