What if when we fully felt our feelings they would turn into joy?
Sri Bhagavan of the Oneness University in India teaches any feeling or sensation experienced fully in the present moment will eventually transform into joy. This includes the most challenging situations or intense emotions. This is also the way to overcome fear.
Robert Tennyson Stevens, Conscious Language also says that any emotion fully felt will turn into its strength, grief into joy, fear into confidence, and pain into love.
When we stop resisting pain and surrender, Divine Grace can enter our bodies. Contraction ends and a flow of energy opens, allowing change. I have experienced this on occasion.
To allow this transformation involves a mastery of staying in the center of a feeling. It means neither going out of body nor drowning in the feeling.
We can understand the above experience better by seeing a surfer in the curve of a big wave, perfectly balanced on his board. He neither gets tossed up into the air nor does he get submerged under tons of water.
It is impossible to stop fear or pain in our lives. When, however, we learn to experience our emotions fully, we take charge of them.
When we practice staying present with whatever emotion or pain arises in our bodies and master this, we experience something different, inner stillness. We still have thoughts. Now, however, we accept them without resistance.
Sri Bhagavan calls this experience of inner stillness, bliss, calm, peace. I have felt this peace, for brief minutes, sitting with a group of people going about their activities.
According to Bhagavan with stillness no energy gets lost. Thus, we feel this stillness as calm. We have accepted the reality of our feelings. On the other hand, Bhagavan says when we resist our inner thoughts or feelings this fight uses a lot of energy and we experience pain, suffering, and conflict.
Would you like more joy in your life? Practice this meditation daily or at least when intense feelings come up.
The only way out is through, said the poet Robert Frost. The best way to overcome your fear or any emotion is by:
1. Become aware of them. When we push them away they become stronger.
2. Accept your feelings.
3. Focus on the sensations in your body, however vague.
4. Pick one sensation and stay focused on it.
5. Resist any desire to change what you feel. Allow it to be.
6. Sit and feel the sensations without doing anything to change them.
7. If you start to think about the past or future, come back to feeling the sensations in your body.
8. Stay with the sensation until it transforms on its own without you doing anything. This may take for example, 30 minutes, 3 days, 3 weeks, or 3 months. As you have time keep coming back to the sensation, feeling, or issue until it transforms.
Note: If you have a connection with the Divine you can call Divine Grace or a Divine Being you associate with to assist.
