Honor The Heart – Feel It!

Get In Touch With Your Emotions

In the modern society, I’ve noticed a greater need for people to understand the feelings of their hearts and then to honor that heart energy more.

On one hand, when we feel the discomfort of the emotion of fear, anxiety, stress, we think it is bad, that we are not good enough or that is a sign of something wrong with us.  We think we must quickly mask it, hide from it or medicate it.  As if it is bad to feel any negative energy.

On the other hand, there are those who are unaware that they are letting their emotions rule them.  When they are angry and irritated they let loose and unleash their emotional energy haphazardly.

Feelings comes from thoughts and beliefs.  It is ok to feel negative feelings to help us be guided to make changes.  We are dynamic human beings.  This means we have days when we feel happy and joyful and there will be days when we feel sad and depressed.

Our hearts can handle the whole spectrum of emotions.  We must learn however, to recognize the different types of emotional energy and give words to it.  We need to be able to describe the uncomfortable energy with adjectives such as angry, agitated, resentful, disgust, discouraged etc.  We need to practice the dialogues that include these terms and teach others such as our children that skill too.

As people start healing with essential oils, their physical body starts to change, then they start to be aware of their heart energy more.  Sometimes, we feel conflicted because the heart wants to feel and tell us something but our culture does not allow us to freely acknowledge or experience the sensation of the heart.  We apologize for crying.  Women feel they need to be ashamed for being ’emotional.’  Men are taught to suppress their emotions because being emotional equates to being weak.

If we are unable to feel sadness and sorrow, we will be unable to have greater joy and peace.

Emotions Are Clues For Healing

The reality is, we can use the emotional energy as clues to what we are thinking and believing on the subconscious levels.  For example, take the feeling of anger.  Perhaps, you got angry at yourself when you missed your child’s award ceremony.  Ask yourself why did you respond to that situation with anger?  You might reply, ‘I am angry because I messed up.’  Now ask yourself a follow up question, why was anger a necessary response for when you mess up?  The answer could be, that is how you punish yourself so you will learn your lesson and not repeat it again.  Why did you need to punish yourself for messing up?  That’s how you were parented and disciplined as a kid.  Can’t you just learn to be better next time without punishment?  Nope…because you can’t trust yourself to do better unless you pay the price for messing up.  So the core subconscious thought currently is that you don’t trust yourself.   The core subconscious belief is you are not trustworthy.  BINGO!

Has this approach of anger/punishment been successful in making you into a happier, healthier, holier and a more confident person who makes less mistakes?  Not really.

How do you change from now using the truths we just discovered?  You can consciously choose to think and believe more enlightened beliefs now.  You can choose to believe that you are trustworthy because you are a child of God.  The divine light within will remind you to do what is right.  If we punish ourselves, in reality we don’t feel better about ourselves anyways.  We actually just reconfirm that we are not trustworthy.  If we are kind, accepting and trusting of ourselves, we show us that we are confident in our ability to do better next time.  So the new belief is: As a child of God, I am confident that I can improve and learn from my experiences.

Can you see how useful acknowledging that ‘anger’ energy is?  Now we don’t need to respond with anger anymore.  We can quickly forgive ourselves and be kinder.

Faith Promoting Healing

Healing means more than merely feeling more comfortable.  To me, we need to go beyond that comfort to feeling happier and more at peace than we did before we got uncomfortable.  The discomfort of fear-based emotions reminds us to realign ourselves again and to change.  When our heart-compass experiences divine discontent, that is a good thing.  Divine discontent compels us to change and get closer to God and develop our faith further.

God asked us to come to Him with our ‘broken heart’ and ‘contrite spirit.’  That means we can come to Him when we are feeling uncomfortable!

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.~ Psalm 34:18

14 And they did not come unto Jesus with broken hearts and contrite spirits, but they did curse God, and wish to die. Nevertheless they would struggle with the sword for their lives. ~Mormon 2:14

I am grateful for the discomforts of emotional energy.  It helps me pause and review what I am doing and course correct.  When I make that necessary course correction, I feel happier and holier.

Emotional Healing

As we continue to heal physically, we will naturally be invited to emotionally heal a layer at a time.  Some of our emotional issues are due to our own misalignments with our higher self.   It is also because of the misalignments of our ancestors.

You might think that you are slipping backwards and that you aren’t healing right.  Chances are you are exactly on the right track and that you are just a gateway for more energy healing for your family and ancestors.  You might experience dizziness and nausea at times.  Healing seems to gets ‘ugly and messy’ before it gets pretty.  We must all descend before we ascend and transcend.  All this experience is for our good.  Learn from each experience and allow it to pass.

Let’s honor our heart more and we will find more happiness and joy each day.
