The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart – Helen Keller
Maybe like me you have difficulty feeling your emotions. You may question why you would want to embrace your emotions?
Embrace Your Emotions
What if, you allowed yourself to fully embrace your emotions?
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.
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.
To allow this transformation to embrace your emotions 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, you learn to experience and fully embrace your emotions , 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.
Sri Bhagavan of the Oneness University calls this experience of inner stillness: bliss; calm; peace. I have felt this peace.
According to Bhagavan with stillness no energy gets lost. Thus, we feel this stillness as calm or peace. We have accepted the reality of our feelings. On the other hand, Bhagavan says when you resist to embrace your emotions this fight uses a lot of energy and we experience pain, suffering, and conflict.
The best way out is always through, said the poet Robert Frost.
The Best Way to Handle/Embrace Your Emotions:
- Become aware of them. When we push them away they become stronger.
- Accept your thoughts or feelings.
- Focus on the sensations in your body, however vague.
- Pick one sensation and stay focused on it.
- Resist any desire to change what you feel. Allow it to be.
- Sit and feel the sensations without doing anything to change them.
- If you start to think about the past or future, come back to feeling the sensations in your body. Focus on your breath to help you.
- 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 on its own.
