Healing emotions takes a shift from thinking to actually feeling our emotions, and working them through. Feeling our feelings doesn’t actually take much time. What takes time is all the ways we avoid feeling our emotions and all the time we spend caught up in emotional reactions! Healing our emotions is not about thinking about them or avoiding them or reacting to them. These are all ways we slow down the process of healing emotions.
Healing occurs when we make the shift from thinking about our issue to feeling our feelings. The shift from thinking to feeling happens when we pay attention to the feelings themselves. This means actually entering them, not thinking about the problem or even about the feeling. So it is actually about feeling the grief, anger, sadness or fear or whatever, and following what happens.
It is your birthright to experience true love and intimacy. Feeling our feelings was set up to end suffering in relationships. Having a sense of safety within our relationships, and the environment in which we live, is essential for our physical health and wellbeing. We use the wisdom of own feelings, emotions, our intuition, to have healthier relationships and to make decisions that are in alignment with who we truly are. It starts with the healing relationship we have with ourselves.
