Honor Your Emotions

Honor Your Emotions

Honor your emotions is another article in a series of posts called Jewels for Self Discovery which is about simple tools to use on your spiritual path to self awareness.

Honor your emotions by allowing your emotions to flow in the moment without judgement knowing that we are not our feelings. Emotions are neither right nor wrong, they are just feelings, energy. Let go of your thoughts and just be with your feelings.

We do not have to do anything about our emotions, just simply honor your emotions by experiencing them as they happen. Let the energy of the feelings flow freely through us like a river. When we damn up the river or repress our emotions we create an imbalance in ourselves. It is important to examine why we are not allowing ourselves to feel our feelings so that we can begin to change that pattern and heal.

Sharing your feelings with a trusted friend is so important as a way to honor your emotions and release pent up feelings. When you are grieving the loss of a loved one you need more support to help you through it. All we need is a good listener who serves as a sounding board for our emotions.

Need To Vent

Sharing your feelings with a trusted friend who supports your need to vent pent up feelings is important. You do not have to go it alone in your process.

Have an agreement with a friend who serves as your listener. When you need to vent you let the friend know by simply saying "I need to vent." That is the cue for that pal to just be a good listener and not try to fix the problem for you.

This is a safe way to express our emotions, feel heard and release the energy of our feelings all at once. The need to vent is especially helpful during the grieving process.

Dis-ease

When we suppress our emotions we create dis-ease in our body. The energy of the emotions becomes blocked preventing the universal life force from channeling freely throughout our body.

Certain dis-ease are associated with the place we hold the energy of emotions in our body. For example grief is usually held in the lungs while anger is held in the liver. This is another reason why it is essential to honor your emotions.

Heal the Past

When you honor your emotions you also have the opportunity to heal the past. So often we repress our feelings rather than experience them in the moment. The energy of these emotions become embedded within us. It's accumulative affect ages us and creates an imbalance in our body, mind, emotions and spirit.

When you find yourself remembering a past experience allow yourself to feel the emotions connected to the experience. Just let the feeling rise up in the moment with the intention to heal the past.

Do not think your way through the process, simply feel the feelings. Remind yourself that you are safe now and ready to let the old emotions go. In this way you get to heal the past one experience at a time. Over time you balance yourself on all levels and improve your well being.

Affirmation

Affirmations are a simple way to honor your emotions. Write the affirmatio
"I am attractive, lovable and capable" slowly on a piece of paper, line by line. As you write stay focused on each word and it's true meaning. This process then becomes a meditation as you focus the mind on one thought, one word at a time.

Pay attention to how you feel as you write the words of your affirmation during this emotional healing process. When feelings of pain, doubt, resistance or limiting beliefs come up simply turn the page over and jot those down. For example you may feel "I am not good enough." Jot the feeling down and do not give it anymore energy. Go back to the front side of the page and continue to write the affirmatio
"I am attractive, lovable and capable."

As more emotions rise up from inside, continue to turn the paper over and write them down. This simple process is powerful because you are feeding your subconscious mind a positive statement of truth or affirmation with the intention to honor your emotions.

You also get to see your unconscious feelings and limited beliefs that are blocks to emotional well-being. By seeing your inner blocks you are shedding light on them, allowing a healing to occur in the presence of your own awareness. When you honor your emotions by using affirmations you grow in self love which is a necessary ingredient in all healing especially emotional.

Keep it simple when you honor your emotions. Feel them in the moment. Your emotions are not thoughts. You are not your feelings. You are spirit. And so it is.
