THE POWER OF EMOTION
As human beings we experience emotion. it’s a huge part of who we are. We are meant to feel and express our emotions. Emotions are powerful feelings and reveal a ton as to how we are functioning in daily life. At times, our emotions can seem overwhelming and scary that we will do our very best to avoid feeling them. All emotions, not just the so called painful and upsetting ones. Feeling amazing and experiencing great passion and love can also be quite intimidating to most people.
There is a fine line between experiencing pain & pleasure. I guess thats where the statement “life is an emotional coaster ride” originated from. It definitely seem like it. Life is meant to be experienced fully and that means allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough to allow ourselves to feel all types of emotion. Out of the fear of not wanting to experience “pain”, begins a habit of being protective. In doing so, deny the self opportunities to fully experience pleasure, gratitude, joy and so many other amazing feelings that make life so interesting and colourful .
In my experience, both personal and professional, I’ve noticed some commonalities when it comes to people who seem anxious, depressed, angry, sad etc.., they begin to experience energetic blocks (tension and restriction) that can create mental, emotional and physical stress. This can be taxing on their nervous system. These symptoms they may be experiencing can be directly associated with the underlying emotions that have been possibly neglected and have not been allowed to fully be felt and released. In time, this compounds and builds up in the physical body and the body will begin to speak louder through discomfort, pain and irritations to get our attention hopes that we will make and take the time to explore its wants and needs in order to heal. Pent up emotions will always find some way to come out. Sometimes, due to a trauma, a person is unaware of why they feel the way they do, why they respond the way they do.
When we choose to avoid the root cause of the emotion, it tends to come out in other forms. Usually in an undesirable form. For example: Feelings of upset and anger can be expressed by a lack of patience, intolerance and aggression. Pent up sadness can come out as being hypersensitive, having emotional outbursts, being detached, reserved and isolated. Confusion sets in that can get you questioning yourself on many levels.
